Modeling & Simulation (Page 8)

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....

Emerging materials such as high-strength aluminum alloys, advanced high-strength steels (AHSS), and GEN3 steel have been increasingly applied in sheet metal forming components. These materials are known to have unique elastic and plastic material behaviors which create new challenges for engineers and designers. One of the behaviors is springback. Springback challenges include difficulties predicting, controlling,...

EWI uses integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) methods to analyze correlations between processing conditions, thermal response, microstructures, and mechanical properties to predict performance in joining and additive manufacturing. The resulting information is used to create unique tools for modeling and simulation with the potential to deliver huge time and cost savings to manufacturers. EWI Senior...
