A generalized procedure for the analysis of three-dimensional forging problems has been proposed using the upper bound elemental technique. This analysis allows the subdivision of a forging into elementary simple regions. In this second part of the series, the model is applied to predict forging load in a selected category of closed-die forging processes. Experiments are carried out and a reasonable agreement with theory is found.
