The first two editions of this book were published under the title "THEORY OF PLASTICITY". This title had limited scope as this course is being offered at the postgraduate level only. The popular course at the undergraduate level is "METAL FORMING PROCESSES". Even though some topics on Metal Forming Processes were covered in the first two editions yet they were not sufficient to the extent to be useful at the undergraduate level. A large number of suggestions were received by the author and the publishers to modify the title of the book to suit the needs of the undergraduate students by including more topics on metal forming.
