There exists a severe shortage of experimental data pertinent              to basic deformation processes such as forging, extrusion, and                  rolling.  The lack of appropriate data has been a major obstacle to             progress in understanding the fundamental mechanics and materials               science associated with forming.  Funds will be used to purchase a              custom-built, special performance load frame to equip the                       deformation processes laboratory.  The hydraulic system on the frame            can deliver large loads and high displacement rates simultaneously.             Such capabilities do not exist on the large majority of load frames             but are needed to access the regimes of stress and strain rate                  typical of industrial forming processes.  The load frame will be                used for a variety of forming experiments in support of the goals to            better understand deformation processes and to develop accurate                 simulation methods for such processes.  The research emphasizes                 tightly coupled experimentation and model development using unique              experiments that are designed especially to isolate particular                  physical phenomena.  Such data motivate the structure of forming                models and provide the bases to assess modeling assumptions.  The               deformation process laboratory will be a general purpose facility               suitable for studying a wide range of deformation processes,                    evaluating constitutive model parameters of workpiece materials, and            performing tooling design case studies.
