The paper attempts a comprehensive exposition of coherent computational concepts applicable to the optimization of process design in metal forming. For this purpose the analysis procedure is briefly reviewed and the design problem is stated. The issue of design sensitivity is discussed for various objectives. They comprise the design and control of forming processes under quasistationary and transient conditions, respectively. Both, isothermal and thermomechanical operations are considered. Elementary algorithms for the treatment of design problems are presented, and applications are indicated. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
