Stamping and Cutting: Fundamentals

This lecture covers the fundamentals of stamping and cutting processes, including the formation of parts between a punch and a die, control of stress in the sheet, geometric relations, calculation of stamping force, and the importance of clamping force in stamping. It also discusses cutting processes, shear stresses, cutting force calculation, and material breakage. Emphasis is placed on the key concepts and parameters involved in stamping and cutting operations.
