Residual Stresses & Distortions in Modern Manufacturing

3 credits · College of Engineering catalogue

Advisory Prerequisite: Mechanics of materials or strengths of materials courses recommended. E nforced Prerequisite: None. (3 credits) Modern approaches to residual stress and distortion control are presented with a focus on design and manufacture of lightweight structures, involving plate processing, laser cutting/forming, welding/joining, and 3D printing. Basic thermo-plasticity phenomena are treated through a series of 1D analytical models and followed by modern finite element stimulation procedures.
