Finite element analysis and simulation of quenching and other heat treatment processes: A bibliography (1976–2001)

This paper gives a bibliographical review of the finite element methods applied to the analysis and simulation of quenching and other heat treatment processes. The bibliography at the end of the paper contains references to papers, conference proceedings and theses/dissertations on the subjects that were published between 1976 and 2001. The following topics are included: quenching––quenching process in general, heat transfer and thermomechanical modelling, residual stresses in quenching, and other topics; hardening; annealing; tempering; and carburizing and nitriding. Three hundred and fifty references are listed.
