“…The study of this problem has attracted the attention since the end of the 19th century (see [1][2][3] for a historical review on this subject). In recent years, the analysis of this process has encompassed different topics such as: assessment of the influence of drawing variables (e.g., drawing velocity, die geometry and heat treatment) on the material response [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] comparison of finite element simulations with analytical results [7][8][9], estimation of the back tension in single [10], and multistep [11][12][13] processes, surface and internal (i.e., chevron) crack formation [14][15][16][17][18][19][20], experimental and numerical evaluation of residual stresses [21][22][23][24][25][26][27], hydrodynamics in the lubricant layer [28,29], wear prediction [30,31], computation of temperature distribution on the wire [30,32,33], strain rate effects in high-speed forming [34], and texture development [35].…”
