This reference work provides thorough coverage of the theoretical foundations of thermomechanical modeling of welding, hot powder forming, and casting processes, which also can be applied to modeling of the heat treatment and forging of solids. Information on finite element modeling methods will assist design engineers in taking manufacturing processes into consideration to minimize residual stresses and deformation in the design of mechanical components.
