✦ Synopsis
A new approach to optimal process design in steady-state metal forming is presented. In the approach, optimal process design problems are mathematically formulated and solved using a penalty rigidviscoplastic finite element method as a tool for carrying out necessary calculations for optimization. The basic formulation is presented and the solution procedure is described with the emphasis on the method of calculating the design sensitivities. The accuracy of the design sensitivities thus obtained is assessed by a series of numerical tests. An iterative scheme for optimizing the design variables based on the predicted design sensitivities is also given.

We suggest a shape optimization method for a non-linear and non-steady-state metal forming problem. It consists in optimizing the initial shape of the part as well as the shape of the preform tool during a two-step forging operation, for which the shape of the second operation is known. Shapes are d
