Details about how to calculate the prinicpal stresses can be found in the textbook entitled “Metal Forming” by Hosford and Caddel (W.F. Hosford and R.M. Caddell, Metal forming: Mechanics and Metallurgy, 3rd ed., Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2007).<\/p><p>Thank you,<\/p><p>Pedram<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-391619","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
