Simulation of Manufacturing Processes

Abstract

This report summarizes research surrounding the simulations of two manufacturing processes-the finishing and/or repair of material surfaces and the stamping of sheet metal parts. Regarding the surface finishing project, a unified mathematical theory for the process of material removal by abrasion (grinding and polishing) was developed. Then strategies were formulated for, material removal by Operator controlled (OC) or Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines. For, the sheet metal stamping project, certain asymmetric numerical solution were characterized as symmetry breaking.
