Abstract

Discusses how the quickly evolving computer technology of the 1980s brought new ideas for innovation to the steel tubing industry. The complex mathematics of forming processes can be broken down into a series of closely linked elementary problems, which are then relatively easy to solve by numerical computation. With the advent of the finite-element method, solving complicated problems became a question of computer capacity and computational time as that capacity increased, computational numerical analysis became increasingly cost-effective
