About this document
Understanding Hodographs in Metal Forming by prasanna is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses hodographs, which are diagrams that represent the velocity distribution in plane plastic flow. A hodograph maps each point in physical space to the origin in the hodograph plane, so the velocity of any physical point is represented by a vector from the origin. Hodographs are important for ensuring flows satisfy boundary conditions and incompressibility, checking positive plastic work, and determining where maximum energy is expended.
