Prereq: Engineering Standing, ME 302 or enrollment in the Production Engineering Certificate.
Overview of sheet metal forming and related manufacturing processes, emphasizing practical applications in the automotive industry. Fundamentals of sheet metal forming mechanics, including large-strain plastic deformation, flow rules, formability, and workability. A thorough survey of sheet metal forming methods, including deep drawing, stretching, blanking, bending, etc. Significant design considerations will be integrated with every forming process and real-world case studies will be presented to emphasize course contents.
