Manufacturing processes have existed, in some form, since the dawn
of civilization. Modelling and numerical simulation of mechanics of
such processes, however, are of fairly recent vintage; made
possible, mainly by improved understanding of the fundamental
mechanics and physics of these processes as well as by the
availability of ever more powerful computers. Our capabilities of
designing manufacturing processes, however, significantly lag
behind our abilities in simulating such processes. In fact,
research in the area of design of manufacturing processes is barely
a decade old. Analysis of manufacturing processes, and its
integration into the design cycle of these processes, are the dual
themes of this book. The boundary element method (BEM) is the
computational method of choice. This versatile and powerful method
has enjoyed extensive development during the last two decades and
has been applied to virtually all areas of engieering mechanics
(both linear and nonlinear) as well as in other areas. The BEM
infra-structure is presented in Chapters 2, 3, and 4. Chapters 2
and 3, respectively provide reviews of the fundamentals of
nonlinear and thermal problems. Material and geometric
nonlinearities are ubiquitous in manufacturing processes such as
forming and machining while thermal issues play significant roles
in casting and machining processes. Chapter 4 discusses design
sensitivity analysis, and provides an avenue for utilizing insights
gained from analysis toward design synthesis of manufacturing
processes. Chapters 5 through 9 are devoted to detailed discussions
of a broad range of manufacturing processes - forming,
solidification, machining, and ceramic grinding. The unique
features of this book are its emphasis on numerical simulation as
well as on design of manufacturing processes, and the use of the
boundary element method as the computational method of choice.
