Put Many researcher have made much progress in studying an estimate for fracture probability of brittle materials. However, studies of the fracture probability for the elastic-plasticity have not been made yet. An estimate method for fracture probability which is grafted onto 2-parameter criterion and statistical probability analysis is not only introduced in this study, but also applied to the simple 2dimensional model and carbon steel piping to evaluate the effect of random variable.

The failure of die often occurs as a result of growth of microcracks - referred as a brittle damage. In this study, an analysis of brittle damage evolution cupled with elastic finite element analysis of die deformation is presented. A local transformation from the tractions of a workpiece mesh to those of a die mesh is developed. The brittle damage is defined as a vector considering the shape of common microcracks in the brittle metals and the damage function suggested by Krajcinovic is utillized. Applications of the proposed model to modeling damage evolution in the extrusion die and forging die are given and the characteristics of brittle damage evolution in die are in detail examined.

Various methods of finite element modeling for welded part are examined and the stamping simulation of automotive body is presented by using the explicit finite element code PAM-STAMPTM. The process of stamping simulation is suggested step by step, and then the gravity, binder wrap, forming, trimming and springback of front door inner are analyzed. It shows good agreements with real product in the aspects of deformed shape and failure area. The door inner with laser-tailor welded blank is simulated, in which deformed shape, movement of welde line and formability are predicted.

As the martensite structure cause fracture failure during drawing from 5.5mm rod to 3.05mm dia. wire without additional heat treatment, the optium cooling condition to inhibit the occurrence of martensite was investigated. In order to get SAE9254+V quality, the effects of alloying element, vanadium on the mechanical properties were investigated. Based upon CCT and TTT curves and the results form cooling test in mill, optimun cooling was found in the condition of the laying head temp of 780$^{\circ}C$ and of the conveyor speed at 0.15m/sec with the whole cover closed. The wire rods produced under the condition showed the best mechanical properties of 120kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$ in TS and 50% in RA, having an excellent drawability. In vanadium added steels, tensile strength was improved without degrading elongation and charpy impact value. That means the strengthening by vanadium is mainly due to the grain refinement by the fine precipitates during tempering process.

In a plastically deformed body the formation of a shear band is widely observed in the engineering materials during rapidly forming process for a thermally rate-sensitive material. The localized shear bond stems from evolution of a narrow region in which intensive plastic flow occurs. The shear band often plays as a precursor of the ductile fracture during a forming process. The objectives of this study are to investigate the localization behaivor by using numerical method thus predict the failure. In this work the implicit finite difference scheme is preformed due to the ease of covergence and the numerical stability. This study is based on an analysised material with hardening as well as thermally softening behavior which includes isotropy strain hardening. Furthermore this paper suggests that an anticipated and suggested a kinematic hardening constitutive equation be requried to predicte a more accurate strain level wherein a shear band occurs.

Since the formability of AZ31 magnesium alloy is not good in room temperature, it is known that high temperature forming is advantageous. However, many studies are necessary to find the proper forming temperature for Mg alloy. In this study, experimental and FEM analysis are performed to investigate the forming temperature for AZ31 sheet. The deep drawing process of square cup is used in forming experiment and FEA. The investigations are performed in three forming temperature, room temperature, $250^{\circ}C\;and\;400^{\circ}C$. The square cup is well formed in $250^{\circ}C$ forming temperature, on the other hand, the crack and failure is presented in corner section in room and $250^{\circ}C$ forming temperature. The main cause is investigated as the effect of hardening range by the experimental and FEM results.

In this study, springback analysis of side rear member is carried out. Side rear member is one of the parts which shows severe springback problems. Forming, trimming, flanging and springback stages can be analyzed successively. From forming analysis, we identified the possible spots in which tearing may occur and can prevent failure. In springback analysis we used the boundary conditions same as applied to the blank on the checker so that the computational result can be compared with experimental one. Form .the comparison, springback analysis can yield relatively good results in a qualitative sense. However, in order to get good deformation result quantitatively, there still remains unsettled tasks in the forming analysis with very small die radius. It is found that we have to develop the element with better bending characteristics and precise contact treatment.

A tube hydroformability testing system was designed and manufactured to observe the forming steps and to provide arbitrary combination of internal pressure and axial feed. The forming limit diagram of an aluminum tube was obtained from the free bulge test and the T-shape forming test using this system, giving the criteria for predicting failure in the hydroforming process. The hydroformability of aluminum tube according to different conditions of a prebending process was discussed, based on the finite element analysis and the forming limit test. The effects of 2D and 3D prebending on the tube hydroforming process of an automotive failing arm were evaluated and compared with each other.

Cu-Ni-Zr-Ti bulk amorphous thin strips were produced by multi-pass warm rolling of the amorphous powder at temperatures in the supercooled liquid region. Process variables for rolling of the bulk amorphous strips were properly controlled to prevent onset of crystallization and failure during rolling up to three passes. During rolling of the amorphous powder, both the deformation and densification took place and the newly developed surface on the deformed amorphous particles enhances the consolidation leading to an increase in the strength. The strain state during rolling was analyzed by FEM.

Development trend and current status were surveyed for pre-heat-treated high strength cold heading quality (CHQ) wire and it's forming technology. Spheroidizing, quenching, and tempering heat treatments are eliminated by adapting the pre-treated wire, which could reduce energy consumption rate and green house gas emission rate during produce parts requiring high strength. There are some challenging problems to expand application area such as enhancing forming tool life, and preventing delayed failure. Domestic research movement concerning the development and application of the new high strength wire was introduced.
