Beschreibung:
This book groups the main advances in material forming, considering different processes, both conventional and non-conventional. It focuseson polymers, composites and metals, which are analyzed from the state of the art. Special emphasis is devoted to the contributions of the European Scientific Association for Material Forming (ESAFORM) during the last decade and in particular the ones coming from its annual international conference.
