Computer Methods in Design and Identification of Powder Metallurgy Materials

Abstract

This paper has been focused on presentation of application of computer methods in design and identification of PM materials in cold forming operations. The solutions for direct and inverse problems of powder forging have been described. In order to solve an identification problem for powder metallurgy materials we assume desired material model characterizing by specific material law with desired material parameters. The material parameters are the design variables of the optimization problem which have to be solved.
