In order to understand various phenomena in mechanical manufacturing processes, it is important to study mechanical behavior of work-material, and to clarify effects of various factors such as friction on the processing property. In this course, plasticity theory is lectured to describe the fundamental mechanical behavior of materials. Also, analytical models of various manufacturing processes based on the plasticity theory are explained. Up-setting, extrusion, drawing, rolling and cutting process are employed as examples of the analytical models, and their characteristics are discussed.
