Description
Summary:The purpose of this research is to conduct the investigation for product quality using Finite Element Method (FEM) – based simulation or virtual manufacturing (VM). Understanding the VM process will significantly assist the production to minimize defects, reduce manufacturing cost of new product development and improve quality of the finished products being produced by several continuing processes. FEM - based VM approach is used to predict final dimensional change in both forming and welding processes through the utilization of specialized manufacturing software Simufact.Forming and Simufact.Welding. This research consists of case studies which are aimed on chained process from stamping to welding. The first case study is to practice FEM simulation and experimental investigation on distortion of butt-joint welding with defined clamping force for verification purpose.
