Metal Processing Technology - MECH97093
Aims
Many industrial metal processes and applications involve shaping engineering components via plastic/viscoplastic deformation. These metal forming technologies are used for the manufacture of a range of metal components, such as automotive and aircraft body panels. This module extends basic solid-mechanics concepts and methods to the modelling and analysis of viscoplastic flow and of metal microstructure evolution during metal forming processes. It aims to provide a comprehensive survey of the analysis and simulation methods available, and practical exercises in their use. In particular:
- To introduce plasticity and viscoplasticity theories underpinning metal plasticity technologies
- To introduce theories for formulating unified constitutive equations for metal processing applications.
- To extend plasticity and viscoplasticity theories for advanced metal forming applications
- To introduce numerical techniques for advanced materials and process modelling.
