Physical and Numerical Simulation of Materials Processing

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: This two-volume set contains 249 peer-reviewed papers from an October 2007 conference, highlighting recent academic and experimental accomplishments in the application of physical and numerical simulations to the field of materials science. Some specific paper topics covered include numerical simulation of the induction heating process of continuous casting slab, application of the level set method to the simulation of liquid-gas two-phase flow during mold filling, and gate location optimization in injection molding based on an empirical search method. Other subjects studied include analysis of hammering deformation processes by the dynamic explicit finite element method, hot stamping processing experiments with quenchable boron steel, macrokinetics hierarchies of states at dynamic superplasticity, simulation of internal stress in injection molded parts, and numerical computation of a linear friction welding process.
