Advances of physics-based precision modeling and simulation for manufacturing processes

Abstract

The development of manufacturing process concerns precision, comprehensiveness, agileness, high efficiency and low cost. The numerical simulation has become an important method for process design and optimization. Physics-based modeling was proposed to promote simulations with a high accuracy. In this paper, three cases, on material properties, precise boundary conditions, and micro-scale physical models, have been discussed to demonstrate how physics-based modeling can improve manufacturing simulation. By using this method, manufacturing process can be modeled precisely and optimized for getting better performance. © 2013 Shanghai University and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
