Introduction

The profile of the work piece was found to be approximately parabolic both on the basis of experimental results [2,3,4,5] and calculations using finite element method [6]. The case of homogeneous deformations, where the velocity field is such that no bilge occurs, has been theoretically described in [2,3]. Velocity fields resulting in bilge work piece have also been developed, see e.g. However these papers do not take the friction coefficient into account, and are not suitable for the simulation of material flow as pointed out in [7].
