“…In the modeling of bulk metal forming, there are a few options to choose from, such as the Coulomb friction law [15][16][17], the constant shear (Siebel) friction law [18][19][20][21][22][23][24], both Coulomb and constant shear friction laws [25,26], general ones [27][28][29] or the integrated law, i.e., Coulomb constant shear friction law [9,14,[30][31][32][33]. Being naturally more flexible and, hence more relevant to real-life manufacturing than conventional Coulomb and constant shear friction laws, the Coulomb constant shear friction law is widely used in FEA of metalworking.…”
