Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The basic theory of sheet metal forming in the automotive,
appliance and aircraft industries is given. This fills a gap
between the descriptive treatments in most manufacturing texts and
the advanced numerical methods used in computer-aided-design
systems.
The book may be used by lecturers in undergraduate courses in
manufacturing; plentiful exercises and worked examples provide
quantitative tutorial problems for students. A separate, but
related simulation software package advertised on this page enables
students to explore the limits of processes and understand the
influence of different process and material variables.
Engineers in stamping plants and press shops find the book useful
in understanding what happens during forming and why failures
occur. The book is also used as a text for industrial short courses
that have been given in many countries. Die designers and tooling
engineers find the simple treatment of processes useful at the
conceptual design stage and also in determining modifications
needed to overcome problems indicated by detailed numerical
analysis.
The original text, published 10 years ago, has been completely
rewritten for this edition and newer topics such as hydroforming
included. Simple equations governing plastic deformation, press
forming, bending, punch stretching and deep drawing are derived and
explained. The aim is to provide simple applicable methods rather
than complex numerical techniques for practising engineers and for
students interested in a quantitative and practical approach.
SIMPLIFIED STAMPING SIMULATION SOFTWARE "4S'
The analytical treatment in this book is used to develop simulation
modules for simple cases of sheet forming such as stamping, deep
drawing, bending and hydroforming. Students can investigate the
influence of tooling dimensions, material properties and process
variables such as friction on the outcome of operations and see
from animated models how, for example, press loads develop during
forming. Applications using this package greatly enhance interest
in the development of theory in the book.
The website http: //www.mssinternational.com provides further
information and an opportunity to run some of the modules.
Presents the fundamentals of sheet metal forming - bending,
stretching, press forming, deep drawing and hydroforming
Shows how deformation, loads and process limits can be calculated
using simple equations
Concentrates on simple, applicable methods rather than complex
numerical techniques
Contains many exercises, worked examples and solutions
Used as a reference text in undergraduate manufacturing courses, as
a required text in specialist graduate courses and as a course text
for industrial short courses
Is supported by a separate, but related simulation software package
described below.
This lavish, hand-painted artist volume comes to light for the
first time since it was created by Deborah Passmore Gillingham (b.
? - 1877) in the mid 1870s. A celebration of the lilies and
magnolias of the American south, it will be a treasure for all who
love antique botanical art. Carefully reproduced here, this volume
includes 49 exquisite renderings of lilies and 5 lovely magnolias,
along with illuminated Latin titles. You're likely to find your
favorite member of the lily family, whether it is lotus, amaryllis,
calla, or daylily variety. Each print is on perforated paper, sized
at 9 x 12 inches, and ready to fit standard frames to adorn your
wall. Whether you choose to separate the pictures to display, or
simply enjoy the collection on your table, this faithful
reproduction is sure to be treasured, as was the original by a
small handful of stewards during its first 200 years of existence.
While the importance of the prefrontal cortex for "higher-order"
cognitive functions is largely undisputed, no consensus has been
reached regarding precise specifications of these functions. For
example, although some degree of regional specialization within the
frontal lobe seems inevitable, by and large, most attempts to map
specific cognitive functions onto neuroanatomical and/or
cytoarchitectonic subdivisions have been disappointing. Although a
high degree of functional specialization probably exists within the
frontal cortex, it seems increasingly likely that the structural
organization of this system does not relate, in any straightforward
way, to contemporary models of cognition.
The axioms of a complex Banach algebra were very happily chosen.
They are simple enough to allow wide ranging fields of application,
notably in harmonic analysis, operator theory and function
algebras. At the same time they are tight enough to allow the
development of a rich collection of results, mainly through the
interplay of the elementary parts of the theories of analytic
functions, rings, and Banach spaces. Many of the theorems are
things of great beauty, simple in statement, surprising in content,
and elegant in proof. We believe that some of them deserve to be
known by every mathematician. The aim of this book is to give an
account of the principal methods and results in the theory of
Banach algebras, both commutative and non commutative. It has been
necessary to apply certain exclusion principles in order to keep
our task within bounds. Certain classes of concrete Banach algebras
have a very rich literature, namely C*-algebras, function algebras,
and group algebras. We have regarded these highly developed
theories as falling outside our scope. We have not entirely avoided
them, but have been concerned with their place in the general
theory, and have stopped short of developing their special
properties. For reasons of space and time we have omitted certain
other topics which would quite naturally have been included, in
particular the theories of multipliers and of extensions of Banach
algebras, and the implications for Banach algebras of some of the
standard algebraic conditions on rings."
