Materials Processing and Design: Modeling, Simulation and Applications FROM THE PUBLISHER
The conference is held to provide a forum for international researchers and practitioners fromacademia, industry, and laboratories to discuss recent advancements and future directions in the modeling of various manufacturing processes and related materials issues. The conference addresses computational modeling and simulations of traditional metals and polymers processing methods, as well as of advanced materials and emerging manufacturing technologies at different scales.The proceedings is divided into subsections based on the broad scope of the subject areas as follows: polymer processing; composite materials and their processing; bulk forming, rolling, extrusion, drawing and forging; sheet metal forming; hydroforming and superplastic forming; casting, welding and sintering; machining; non-conventional materials processing; modeling materials at micro and nano-scales; materials characterization and constitutive modeling at different scales; localization and damage modeling in materials and processing;process design and optimization; and advances in numerical methods.
SYNOPSIS
The two massive volumes of this proceedings contain many of the papers presented at the 8th International Conference on Numerical Methods in Industrial Forming Processes, held at the Ohio State U. (where the editors teach and carry out their research in mechanical engineering) in June 2004. The papers are grouped according to topic, except for those presented as plenary and keynote lectures. Among the topics of the latter are CAE for injection molding, finite element procedures for forming processes, constitutive modelling of dissipative solids, and the modelling of polycrystalline microstructure in 3D. The major topics under which the remaining papers are grouped include polymer processing; composite materials,; bulk forming, rolling, extrusion, drawing, and forging; sheet metal forming; hydroforming and superplastic forming; casting, welding, and sintering; machining; non-conventional materials processing; modelling materials at micro- and nano-scales; and advances in numerical methods.
