Modeling in Welding, Hot Powder Forming, and Casting - Hardcover

This reference work provides thorough coverage of the theoretical foundations of thermomechanical modeling of welding, hot powder forming, and casting processes, which also can be applied to modeling of the heat treatment and forging of solids. Information on finite element modeling methods will assist design engineers in taking manufacturing processes into consideration to minimize residual stresses and deformation in the design of mechanical components.Contents include:Thermomechanical modelingThermal modeling of weldsMechanical modeling of welding and residual stresses in weldsMetallurgical and mechanical consequences of phase transformations in numerical simulations of welding processesPredicting and measuring methods of two- and three-dimensional residual stresses by using inherent strain as a parameterHot isostatic pressingHot powder forgingModeling of heat transfer, fluid flow, and thermodynamics in castingStresses in castingsThermomechanical modeling in casting with experimental validation.
