Latest Advances In Extrusion Technology And Simulation Europe And 4nd Extrusion Benchmark

The International Conference on Extrusion and Benchmark (ICEB 2011) was held in Bologna, Italy, on October 3–5, 2011. The event is divided in two sessions:— The workshop “Latest Advances In Extrusion Technology and Simulation” focused on the latest advances in the extrusion of light alloys and related simulation issues. The workshop had contributions by industrial researchers and academics from more than 20 countries. Invited papers by leading industries and research centers described the state of the art about ongoing research in Extrusion Technology.— The 4th Extrusion Benchmark was aimed at exploiting FEM codes capabilities and users' knowledge in the simulation of an industrial extrusion process as it was realized and monitored by the conference organizers. The comparison of the “blind” simulations by the participants with the experimental results should allow users to check if their settings are generally adequate to the problem and software house to verify the sensitivity of their solving methods.
