Virtual Manufacturing
Deformation Processing of Materials
The key benefit of virtual manufacturing and simulation of processes is the reduction in the number of plant trials and thus reduction of lead-time. The core of our research in the area of deformation processing of materials has its thrust towards developing advanced simulation technologies to be used by process designers.
Focus Areas
-
ALE based simulation tools: Simulation framework based on arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian framework to reduce mesh-related problems during large deformation
-
Extrusion of Aluminum: Predicting the material flow in flat die extrusion of aluminum with a focus on predicting the dead metal zone
- Semi-solid metal processing: Developing models for the rheology of semi-solid model suspension with reduced empiricism.
Industrial Case Studies
-
Preform design for ring rolling: An efficient tool for simulation of flow during cold ring rolling for further use in preform design
-
Enhancement of die life in cold heading: Redesigning the die contour for enhancing the die life and increasing the yield
