Modeling & Simulation (Page 4)

Additive manufacturing (AM) continues to grow in popularity as manufacturing firms develop better understanding of how to extract value from the expensive process. Designers and engineers continue to add complexity into components to tip the cost/value balance in favor of AM, as well as to gain additional benefits from light weighting, reduced assembly efforts, better...

EWI has considerable experience developing and modifying ICME approaches for manufacturing applications. These predictive tools can be used to improve process parameter selection, predict microstructure and properties, and more. Alex Kitt, EWI Director of Data Science, has written AM Applications of Analytical Methods to Predict Thermal Excursions for Continuous Joining Processes, to present a case...

Integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) is an ever-growing field of study providing tools that can be directly applied to a range of manufacturing processes. Analytical modeling frameworks for assessing thermal excursions comprise a key element of welding ICME.  A useful subset of these frameworks can be employed to understand thermal excursions in welding and joining....
