This book was released on 2011-06-06 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To describe the true behavior of most real-world systems with sufficient accuracy, engineers have to overcome difficulties arising from their lack of knowledge about certain parts of a process or from the impossibility of characterizing it with absolute certainty. Depending on the application at hand, uncertainties in modeling and measurements can be represented in different ways. For example, bounded uncertainties can be described by intervals, affine forms or general polynomial enclosures such as Taylor models, whereas stochastic uncertainties can be characterized in the form of a distribution described, for example, by the mean value, the standard deviation and higher-order moments. The goal of this Special Volume on Modeling, Design, and Simulation of Systems with Uncertainties is to cover modern methods for dealing with the challenges presented by imprecise or unavailable information. All contributions tackle the topic from the point of view of control, state and parameter estimation, optimization and simulation. Thematically, this volume can be divided into two parts. In the first we present works highlighting the theoretic background and current research on algorithmic approaches in the field of uncertainty handling, together with their reliable software implementation. The second part is concerned with real-life application scenarios from various areas including but not limited to mechatronics, robotics, and biomedical engineering.

This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the rapidly growing field of hot sheet metal forming and metal bulk forming the demand arises for fully three-dimensionally tailored properties at the microstructural level, nevertheless, reaching a predefined geometry with such tailored properties puts high requirements on the control mechanisms utilized in the process chain for combined heating, metal forming, and cooling processes. Therefore, the underlying control architecture needs to be freely configurable with respect to a predefined database being extendible to new geometries, microstructural distributions, and materials. The combined control of locally and temporally differential thermo-mechanical effects during the process flow needs to be based on an adaptive algorithm adjusting the process flow in real-time according to predefined parameters delivered by the aforementioned material, geometry, and microstructure property database. The interplay between measurement techniques and adaptive control processes for hot metal forming of functionally graded materials is to be investigated in order to achieve the predefined fully three-dimensional microstructure in complex geometries and optimize the process cycle time in a freely configurable control architecture being customizable to new requirements and materials, resulting in a precision manufacturing process. The emphasis within the given thesis will be on adaptive control strategies embedded within a flexible control architecture for an innovative thermo-mechanical production process embracing induction heating to predefined spatial and temporal temperature distributions, transfer, and combined metal forming as well as heat extraction processes. The flexible control architecture assures an invariant quality for the highly dynamic processes and, moreover, yields extendibility to new materials, geometries, and microstructural distributions.

This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph addresses fundamental aspects of mathematical modeling and numerical solution methods of electromagnetic problems involving low frequencies, i.e. magnetostatic and eddy current problems which are rarely presented in the applied mathematics literature. In the first part, the authors introduce the mathematical models in a realistic context in view of their use for industrial applications. Several geometric configurations of electric conductors leading to different mathematical models are carefully derived and analyzed, and numerical methods for the solution of the obtained problems are given. Related issues such as convergence of the approximations and error estimates are discussed. The second part of the monograph presents various coupled problems that involve eddy current or magnetostatic problems, in particular magneto-hydrodynamic problems and magnetic shaping problems concerning the melt flow of electrically conducting metals, induction heating processes, inductively coupled plasmas and ferromagnetic screening modeling. The presentation of each model comes with numerical illustration from industrial applications.

This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current paper establishes an axisymmetric model for an inductive heating process. Therein, the fully coupled MAXWELL equations, assuming a temperature dependent permeability, are combined with the non-linear heat conduction equation to yield a monolithic solution strategy. The latter is based on a consistent linearization together with a higher order finite element discretization using GALERKIN'S method in space. For the temporal discretization, the generalized Newmark-? methods, higher order RUNGE-KUTTA methods, and discontinuous and continuous GALERKIN methods are used. Furthermore, the residual error is introduced to open an alternative way to obtain a numerically efficient estimation of the time integration accuracy. Simulation results of the electric, magnetic and thermal fields are provided, together with parameter studies concerning spatial discretization, frequency dependence and penetration depth of the heating zone. Another topic analyzed is the residual error and its estimation quality regarding polynomial degree and time step size. A further aspect of this work is the investigation of the thermal fluid-structure interaction with respect to functionally graded materials. Different coupling strategies for the acceleration of the fixed-point iteration in each time step is in the foreground. Relaxation methods as well as extrapolation methods make it possible to significantly reduce the number of fixed point iterations. At the same time, an adaptive strategy with higher order RUNGE-KUTTA methods can provide a further advantage in combination with acceleration methods.

Download or read book History of Induction Heating and Melting written by Alfred Mühlbauer and published by Vulkan-Verlag GmbH. This book was released on 2008 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the remarkable discoveries of the fathers of electromagnetism, induction heating and melting became one of the most advanced methods of material production, modification and manufacturing. Industries that intensively use induction heating include steel, automotive, machinery, aerospace, electronics, crystal growth and some others. New applications are emerging in food and packaging industries, and even in medicine. But who invented induction heating and when did it happen? Various significant developments and methods that played a big role in induction technique are almost forgotten or at least not known to modern engineers. Knowledge of the experience of the previous generations, especially of the works of the pioneers, can reveal many interesting ideas, which were abandoned at that time but could be practical today with more advanced materials, components and technologies. Knowledge of successes and failures of others will help to avoid mistakes and foresee future ways of induction technology expansion. The goal of this book is not to give an accurate chronological list of main events and achievements, but to show dynamics of technology and illustrate it with examples, multiple pictures and references. In July 2006 the world induction community lost one of its most distinguished members - Professor Alfred M�hlbauer-outstanding scientist, engineer, teacher and relentless promoter of Induction Technology. This book is his last imposing and great project, which was completed by his colleagues and friends.
