Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

How are things made? In this video I take a look at the different types of manufacturing processes - forming, casting, molding, machining, joining and additive manufacturing - which are used to create ...

Understanding the fundamental mechanics of manufacturing processes is essential for process design, control, monitoring and innovation. This new course focuses on the mechanics of representative ...

Short cycle times and automated methods are key to meeting the high production rates being sought for the next generation of narrowbody commercial aircraft, advanced air mobility (AAM), unmanned ...

At its core business process management is the administrative activities aimed at (1) defining a process, (2) establishing responsibilities, (3) evaluating process performance and (4) identifying ...

Pharmaceutical manufacturing requires defining quality target product profiles and critical quality attributes (CQAs) to ensure desired product quality. Process development identifies critical process ...

Most medium to large manufacturing companies (and many smaller ones as well) use some form or ERP system to help manage the data and processes related to their businesses. While ERP systems have ...

The ability to produce quality products hinges on four key competencies: modeling of process form and precision levels, design tolerancing of parts and products, selecting production processes that ...
