Overview of class
Understanding the fundamental mechanics of manufacturing processes is essential for process design, control, monitoring, innovation and planning. This course starts with the mechanics in sheet metal forming as a demonstration, and gradually explores the dominant mechanisms in a variety of manufacturing processes, including subtractive processes, volume-constant processes, and additive manufacturing. The course invites students to work with the instructor together to explore the possibility of unifying the description of manufacturing processes based on fundamental physics involved in the processes.
The theoretical topics will revolve around:
(1) Continuum mechanics and material characterization methods
(2) Material constitutive modelling and large deformation plasticity
(3) Process modeling and engineering analysis
(4) Static and dynamic instability analysis
