- ItemExact controllability on a curve for a semilinear parabolic equation(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2006) Hömberg, Dietmar; Yamamoto, MasahiroMotivated by the growing number of industrially important laser material treatments we investigate the controllability on a curve for a semilinear parabolic equation. We prove the local exact controllability and a global stability result in the twodimensional setting. As an application we consider the control of laser surface hardening. We show that our theory applies to this situation and present numerical simulations for a PID control of laser hardening. Moreover, the result of an industrial case study is presented confirming that the numerically derived temperature in the hot-spot of the laser can indeed be used as set-point for the machine-based process control.
- ItemOn a thermomechanical model of phase transitions in steel(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Chełminski, Krzysztof; Hömberg, Dietmar; Kern, DanielaWe investigate a thermomechanical model of phase transitions in steel. The strain is assumed to be additively decomposed into an elastic and a thermal part as well as a contribution from transformation induced plasticity. The resulting model can be viewed as an extension of quasistatic linear thermoelasticity. We prove existence of a unique solution and conclude with some numerical simulations.
- ItemOptimal control of robot guided laser material treatment(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Hömberg, Dietmar; Steinbrecher, Andreas; Stykel, TatjanaIn this article we will consider the optimal control of robot guided laser material treatments, where the discrete multibody system model of a robot is coupled with a PDE model of the laser treatment. We will present and discuss several optimization approaches of such optimal control problems and its properties in view of a robust and suitable numerical solution. We will illustrate the approaches in an application to the surface hardening of steel.
- ItemThe heat treatment of steel - a mathematical control problem(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Hömberg, Dietmar; Kern, DanielaThe goal of this paper is to show how the heat treatment of steel can be modelled in terms of a mathematical optimal control problem. The approach is applied to laser surface hardening and the cooling of a steel slab including mechanical effects. Finally, it is shown how the results can be utilized in industrial practice by a coupling with machine-based control.
- ItemPhase transformation modeling and parameter identification from dilatometric investigations(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Suwanpinij, Piyada; Togobytska, Nataliya; Keul, Christoph; Weiss, Wolf; Prahl, Ulrich; Hömberg, Dietmar; Bleck, WolfgangThe goal of this paper is to propose a new approach towards the evaluation of dilatometric results, which are often employed to analyse the phase transformation kinetics in steel, especially in terms of continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagram. A simple task of dilatometry is deriving the start and end temperatures of the phase transformation. It can yield phase transformation kinetics provided that plenty metallographic investigations are performed, whose analysis is complicated especially in case of several coexisting product phases. The new method is based on the numerical solution of a thermomechanical identification problem. It is expected that the phase transformation kinetics can be derived by this approach with less metallographic tasks. The first results are remarkably promising although further investigations are required for the numerical simulations.
- ItemA mathematical model for case hardening of steel(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Fasano, Antonio; Hömberg, Dietmar; Panizzi, LuciaA mathematical model for the gas carburizing of steel is presented. Carbon is dissolved in the surface layer of a low-carbon steel part at a temperature sufficient to render the steel austenitic, followed by quenching to form a martensitic microstructure. The model consists of a nonlinear evolution equation for the temperature, coupled with a nonlinear evolution equation for the carbon concentration, both coupled with two ordinary differential equations to describe the phase fractions. We prove existence and uniqueness of a solution and finally present some numerical simulations.
- ItemA model for the austenite-ferrite phase transition in steel including misfit stress(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Dreyer, Wolfgang; Hömberg, Dietmar; Petzold, ThomasWe present a thermodynamically consistent model to describe the austenite-ferrite phase transition in steel. We consider the influence of the mechanical displacement field due to eigenstrains caused by volumetric expansion. The model equations are derived in a systematical framework. They are based on the conservation laws for mass and momentum and the second law of thermodynamics. By means of numerical computations for a simplified interface controlled model, we examine the influence of the mechanical contributions to the transformation kinetics and the equilibrium states.
- ItemSimulationsbasierte Regelung der Laserhärtung von Stahl(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2006) Alder, Holger; Hömberg, Dietmar; Weiss, WolfBei der Oberflaechenhärtung mit Hilfe von Laserstrahlen ist eine konstante Einhärtetiefe erwünscht, wobei gleichzeitig Anschmelzungen vermieden werden sollen. Um Anschmelzungen zu verhindern, kann die Temperatur im Auftreffpunkt des Lasers gemessen werden und die Laserleistung entsprechend geregelt werden. Eine konstante Temperatur fährt bei geometrisch komplizierten Bauteilen jedoch nicht zu einer konstanten Einhärtetiefe. In dieser Arbeit wird ein Verfahren aufgezeigt, wobei durch numerische Simulationen eine nichtkonstante Oberflächentemperatur berechnet wird, die eine konstante Einhärtetiefe liefert. Die berechnete Oberflächentemperatur kann als Solltemperatur im realen Prozess benutzt werden.
- ItemA milling model with thermal effects including the dynamics of machine and work piece(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Rott, Oliver; Rasper, Patrick; Hömberg, Dietmar; Uhlmann, EckartThis paper deals with the development of a new mathematical model that characterizes the structure-process interaction for a complex milling system. The structure is divided into a work piece and a machine part, which are represented by different models. While the machine dynamics is characterized by a standard multi-body system, the work piece is described as a linear thermo-elastic continuum. The coupling of both parts is carried out by an empirical process model permitting an estimate of heat and coupling forces occurring during milling. This work reports the derivation of the governing equations emphasizing the coupling and summarizes the numerical algorithms being applied to solve the coupled equation system. The results of numerical simulations that show the dynamics of the complex thermo-mechanical system are presented at the end.
- ItemOn a mathematical model for laser-induced thermotherapy(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Fasano, Antonio; Hömberg, Dietmar; Naumov, DmitriWe study a mathematical model for laser-induced thermotherapy, a minimally invasive cancer treatment. The model consists of a diffusion approximation of the radiation transport equation coupled to a bio-heat equation and a model to describe the evolution of the coagulated zone. Special emphasis is laid on a refined model of the applicator device, accounting for the effect of coolant flow inside. Comparisons between experiment and simulations show that the model is able to predict the experimentally achieved temperatures reasonably well.
