An upper-bound elemental stream function technique(UBST) is proposed for solivng forging and backward extrusion problems that are geometrically complex or need a forming simulation . And in the forging problems, this study investigates that layer of elements effects dissipation of total energy and load. The element system of UBSTuses the curve fitting property of FEM and the fluid incompressiblity of the stream function . The foumulated optimal design problems with constraints ae solved by the flixible toerance method. In the closed-die forging and backward extrusion, the result of layer of element by this study produces a lower upper-bound solution than that fo UBET and conventional layer of element . And the main advantage of UBST program is that a computer code, once written , can be used for a large variety problems by simply changing the input data.

In this paper, the deformation method for inner and outer races of rollr-bearing bymeans of the warm precision forging is investigated. We adapted the process designsuch as following that, toincrease Die life, reduce heat transfer through conduction and the eccentricity of preform in warm forging of bearing gace, the bottom portion of billet is formed during upsetting process. Then it is backward extruded, and thus obtained ring preform is formed by combined extrusion. Also, we compared it with the froming method in China and Japan, and we have known it is more excellent method. Basides, this forming method is simulated by UBST which is based on the merits of UBET nd FEM. The results show that it is easy to know the exact location of neutral surface through the inspection of streamline during combined extrusion, and the velocity vector distribution along the surface of velocity discontinuity is investigationed. Also the effectiveness of this method is proved by te experiment using model material that is Plasticine.
