Benchmark Tests
The NUMISHEET Benchmark Study is designed to evaluate the state of the art, as known and practiced by industry and academic research organizations, in their capability to predict the outcome of challenging problems in metal forming. NUMISHEET Benchmark Committees define several metal forming challenges approximately one year prior to the NUMISHEET Conference and ask the metal forming community to predict what happens and report the results by a deadline ahead of the conference. The Benchmark Committees then compile the submitted results and report them along with measurements from experiments, which are made public for the first time at the conference. Participants who do particularly well in predicting the results from the blind tests are recognized at the conference.
The benchmark challenges for the 2020 NUMISHEET Benchmark Study are as follows:

Participants are encouraged to register their intent to participate in one or more of the benchmarks. Registering intent to participate is not an obligation to submit results, but ensures that the participant is informed of any updates to the benchmark specifications. The report file describing participant predictions for the benchmarks are requested to be submitted by June 15, 2020 to guarantee their inclusion in the Benchmark Study Report. Earlier submissions will be appreciated to facilitate preparation for the report. Use the "Upload Report" button provided below.
