The cup drawing is a basic deep drawing process. Thus, understanding the mechanics ofthe cup drawing process helps in determining the general parameters that affect the deep drawingprocess. There are mainly two methods of analysis; experimental and analytical/numerical.Experimental analysis can be useful in analyzing the process to determine the process parameters thatproduce a defect free prod...

The calculation of both resistive and ideal plasma equilibria amounts to solving a number of magnetic differential equations which are of the type ~ B ·∇Φ = s. We apply the necessary and sufficient criterion for the existence of the potential Φ and find that a static equilibrium configuration of a magnetically confined plasma does not exist in axi-symmetric toroidal geometry. AMS classification...

Many applications in materials involve surface diffusion of elastically stressed solids. Study of singularity formation and long-time behavior of such solid surfaces requires accurate simulations in both space and time. Here we present a high-order boundary integral method for an elastically stressed solid with axi-symmetry due to surface diffusions. In this method, the boundary integrals for i...
