Abstract:The standard formulation of the upper bound theorem is incompatible with the Coulomb friction law. However, this law is widely used in metal forming processes analysis. An alternative formulation based on non-kinematically admissible velocity fields can evaluate the load required to deform the material. The present paper adopts this formulation for evaluating the compression force in solid and hollow cylinder compression processes. The trial velocity fields are continuous. The field for the solid cylinder invo… Show more
