Abstract
Newton-Raphson (N-R) method has been employed to solve the system of simultaneous equations arising in Rigid-Plastic finite element simulation. The combination of the improved rotative mid-point mensuration and the N-R method, named the M-P method is designated to solve the equations of velocity increment in Rigid-Plastic FEM. The CPU times required for calculation by the M-P method and the N-R method are compared and it is found that the CPU time required for calculation of the N-R method is more than the M-P method. The calculated rolling forces by the M-P method and the N-R method are compared and it is found that the former correlates better with the measured value. Numerical tests and application show that the M-P method is feasible and steady.
