Arc welding technology has been used to melt metal, and a fabrication system for three-dimensional metallic parts has been developed around it: direct metal lamination using arc discharge. Here, the relationship between residual stress in the shell structure and temperature distribution in the shell structure after lamination are explored. Deformation caused by residual stress release is also measured. The results clarify that the local maximum value of the residual stress is small when the temperature in the shell structure is high. It is also found that the temperature distribution can be controlled through heat-input conditions and a cooling method using water. The residual stress distribution is formed by a non-uniform compressive plastic strain distribution. Plastic deformation is caused by the temperature distribution. No significant deformation due to residual stress release is observed when the lateral surface is finished.

Shot peening is a complex cold working process used to improve the fatigue life of metallic parts. This investigation is devoted to the modeling and simulation of the residual stress field resulting from the shot peening process, in which the finite element method was employed using a rate sensitive material. The history of energies during explicit dynamic analysis was discussed and the solution time for explicit analysis was analyzed. For the single shot impact model, the effect of shot velocity, shot size, incident angle was studied. In addition, the effect of repeated impacts on the residual stress within the target plate was studied. Furthermore, the multiple shot impacts of shot peening process were accomplished and the effect of peening coverage was investigated based on different shot models.

A multi-physics coupling numerical model of the curing process is proposed for the thermosetting resin composites in this paper, and the modified “cure hardening instantaneously linear elastic (CHILE)” model and viscoelastic model are adopted to forecast residual stress and deformation during the curing process. The thermophysical properties of both models are evolved in line with temperature and degree of cure (DOC). Accordingly, the numerical simulation results are improved to be more accurate. Additionally, the elastic modulus of the materials is calibrated to be equal to the modulus of viscoelastic relaxation by a defined function of time in the CHILE model. Subsequently, this work effectuates the two proposed models in a three-dimensional composite laminate structure. Through comparing the two numerical outcomes, it is customary that the residual stress and deformation acquired by the modified model of CHILE conform to those ones assessed through adopting the viscoelastic model.

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a powder bed based additive manufacturing (AM) process to manufacture metallic parts. SLM is the complex thermal-physical-chemical process of the interaction between a laser source and metallic powders. The SLM printing method has been applied widely for fabricating the metallic parts. However, the high temperature in heating and fast cooling during SLM process result in the large residual stress which affects to the quality of the SLM printed parts such as distortion and cracks. This research proposes to develop a system for predicting the quality of the part from the manufacturing planning to remove the failures before carrying out the real printing process. For developing such system, a model for predicting the temperature distribution should be generated. From this model, an interrelationship between process parameters and temperature distribution should be derived out. Based on that, the deformation can be predicted by calculating residual stress along with the result of temperature distribution.

Steel tubes are widely used in industries as machine components and are most common in heavily loaded mechanisms subjected to high dynamic torsional and compressive stress. Hence, they should have higher strength than that of the conventional mechanisms to resist failure. Quenching, an industrial heat treatment process, can improve the microstructure, hardness, toughness, and corrosion and wear resistance of materials. Steel tubes, if quenched, would have desired properties to serve the purposes. However, besides improving material properties, quenching generates some residual stress and deformation in the material due to rapid temperature drop and phase transformation. Therefore, to estimate the temperature distribution, residual stress, and deformation computationally; a three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction model is developed for the steel tube with different quenchants. The quenching characteristics by water, brine, and propylene glycol are estimated and compared with each other. The time-varying nodal temperature distributions in the tube are observed and the critical regions are identified having maximum residual stress and deformation. The time-varying residual stress and deformation at a particular point and along the axial and radial directions of the tube are studied. The convergence of the model is checked and validation of the model is done.

The boundary condition design of a three-dimensional furnace that heats an object moving along a conveyor belt of an assembly line is considered. A furnace of this type can be used by the manufacturing industry for applications such as industrial baking, curing of paint, annealing or manufacturing through chemical deposition. The object that is to be heated moves along the furnace as it is heated following a specified temperature history. The spatial temperature distribution on the object is kept isothermal through the whole process. The temperature distribution of the heaters of the furnace should be changed as the object moves so that the specified temperature history can be satisfied. The design problem is transient where a series of inverse problems are solved. The process furnace considered is in the shape of a rectangular tunnel where the heaters are located on the top and the design object moves along the bottom. The inverse design approach is used for the solution, which is advantageous over a traditional trial-and-error solution where an iterative solution is required for every position as the object moves. The inverse formulation of the design problem is ill-posed and involves a set of Fredholm equations of the first kind. The use of advanced solvers that are able to regularize the resulting system is essential. These include the conjugate gradient method, the truncated singular value decomposition or Tikhonov regularization, rather than an ordinary solver, like Gauss-Seidel or Gauss elimination.
