Chapter 23 Micro-Mechanics Modeling for Micro-Forming Processes
Introduction
In recent decades, the development towards miniaturization of products and devices in industries such as electronics, optics, communications, etc. has increased the demand for metallic parts manufactured at micro-scale. Such parts encompass a wide variety of geometries, materials, functionalities and production processes. Examples of micro-parts include screws, fasteners, connector pins, springs, micro-gears and micro-shafts. These are manufactured by employing a variety of manufacturing processes such as machining, folding, bending, stamping, drawing, molding, lithography and forward/backward extrusion [1]. Some examples of ...
