... mechanical setting. Based on the continuous formulation of a thermomechanical equilibrium, constitutive equations are derived, accounting for the modeling of fiber reinforced thermosets and thermoplastics, respectively. The numerical solutions of different initial boundary value problems are obtained...

... This is the final form of the constitutive equation incorporated in our code. © MCB UP Limited 2002 Deformation Thermoplastics Finite element method Many new sheet metal forming processes which utilize the effect of temperature, such as a nonisothermal warm or hot stamping and a laser beam...
