Metal Forming Plasticity : Springer : 9783642813573 : 3642813577 : 22 Dec 2011 : The International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) which is the head organisation of most of the existing national and international societies of mechanics, decided to sponsor a Symposium on METAL FORMING PLASTICITY. It was held near Munich (Federal Republic of Germany) between August 28 and September 3, 1978, in the "Evange­ lische Academy" in the Castle of Tutzing which is situ­ ated in a park at Lake Starnberg overlooking the Alps. The subjects of the Symposium were basic aspects of the theoretical and experimental mechanics of metal form­ ing processes rather than technological details, or plas­ ticity as such. Thus the spectrum of the Conference extended from necessary physical background, through ex­ perimental, analytical, or numerical methods, to appli­ cations to specific technological deformation processes such as rolling, deep drawing, extrusion, etc. The following persons were
