Improving Manufacturing by Simulation: Processes, Microstructure & Tooling
This presentation, made at the inaugural Virtual Engineering Centre Workshop on 25-26th October 2011, provides an overview of the application of simulation to optimise manufacturing processes and determine mechanical properties that can affect in-...
M3-2S: Multi-Scale Modelling for Multi-Layered Surface Systems
M3-2S (Multiscale Modelling for Multilayered Surface Systems) was a collaborative research project to provide users and developers of coatings for machine elements and cutting tools with a state-of-the art simulation-based toolkit. It brought toge...
Evaluation of a New Batch Mixing Tank Design to Establish Mixing Efficiency using CFD
Fillworth (UK) Limited is a medium-sized privately-owned specialist manufacturer of industrial mixing equipment. The company approached Wilde to evaluate a new batch mixing tank design in order to establish the levels of mixing efficiency and to d...
Energy-Input-Based Finite Element Process Modelling of Inertia Welding
A coupled thermal and mechanical finite element model has been developed to describe the inertia welding of RR1000 nickel-base superalloy tubes using DEFORM.
Industrial Application of Metalforming Simulation for Automotive Forgings
An automotive forging company used metalforming simulation software at both basic and advanced levels for process optimisation of forged components. Utilisation of such tools enabled the forging process to be exploited without the costly, iterativ...
