    Aspects of numerical simulation of the metal forming process
    (2001) Steventon, R H; Bowles, H C
    Metal forming is one of the oldest disciplines and dates back many thousands of years. The pressing of metal into shapes as a manufacturing process is widely distributed and is typically performed in engineering workshops. This process can be simulated to a degree, with a computer which provides many economic advantages.

    Circular plates subjected to localised blast loads : some insights into the mechanism of tearing and the energy required
    (2000) Wiehahn, Miles Alexander; Nurick, Gerald; Bowles, H C
    The scope of this study extends to experimental tests of plates subjected to blast loads with the intention of measuring the velocity of fragments and the subsequent modelling of the plates. A comparison of the results of the numerical and experimental results must be undertaken. An energy balance of the fractured plates must be undertaken with the aim of determining the energy of tearing.
