    Discretisation and error analysis for a mathematical model of milling processes
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Hömberg, Dietmar; Rott, Oliver; Sturm, Kevin
    We investigate a mathematical model for milling where the cutting tool dynamics is considered together with an elastic workpiece model. Both are coupled by the cutting forces consisting of two dynamic components representing vibrations of the tool and of the workpiece, respectively, at the present and previous tooth periods. We develop a numerical solution algorithm and derive error estimates both for the semi-discrete and the fully discrete numerical scheme. Numerical computations in the last section support the analytically derived error estimates.

    Optimal control of a cooling line for production of hot rolled dual phase steel
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Bleck, Wolfgang; Hömberg, Dietmar; Prahl, Ulrich; Suwanpinij, Piyada; Togobytska, Nataliya
    In this article, the optimal control of a cooling line for production of dual phase steel in a hot rolling process is discussed. In order to achieve a desired dual phase steel microstructure an optimal cooling strategy has to be found. The cooling strategy should be such that a desired final distribution of ferrite in the steel slab is reached most accurately. This problem has been solved by means of mathematical control theory. The results of the optimal control of the cooling line have been verified in hot rolling experiments at the pilot hot rolling mill at the Institute for Metal Forming (IMF), TU Bergakademie Freiberg.

    Task assignment, sequencing and path-planning in robotic welding cells
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Landry, Chantal; Welz, Wolfgang; Henrion, René; Hömberg, Dietmar; Skutella, Martin
    A workcell composed of a workpiece and several welding robots is considered. We are interested in minimizing the makespan in the workcell. Hence, one needs i) to assign tasks between the robots, ii) to do the sequencing of the tasks for each robot and iii) to compute the fastest collisionfree paths between the tasks. Up to now, task assignment and path-planning were always handled separately, the former being a typical Vehicle Routing Problem whereas the later is modelled using an optimal control problem. In this paper, we present a complete algorithm which combines discrete optimization techniques with collision detection and optimal control problems efficiently

    Weak entropy solutions to a model in induction hardening, existence and weak-strong uniqueness
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Hömberg, Dietmar; Lasarzik, Robert
    In this paper, we investigate a model describing induction hardening of steel. The related system consists of an energy balance, an ODE for the different phases of steel, and Maxwell's equations in a potential formulation. The existence of weak entropy solutions is shown by a suitable regularization and discretization technique. Moreover, we prove the weak-strong uniqueness of these solutions, i.e., that a weak entropy solutions coincides with a classical solution emanating form the same initial data as long as the classical one exists. The weak entropy solution concept has advantages in comparison to the previously introduced weak solutions, e.g., it allows to include free energy functions with low regularity properties corresponding to phase transitions.

    Identification of the thermal growth characteristics of coagulated tumor tissue in laser-induced thermotherapy
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Hömberg, Dietmar; Liu, Jujun; Togobytska, Nataliya
    We consider an inverse problem arising in laser-induced thermotherapy, a minimally invasive method for cancer treatment, in which cancer tissues is destroyed by coagulation. For the dosage planning numerical simulation play an important role. To this end a crucial problem is to identify the thermal growth kinetics of the coagulated zone. Mathematically, this problem is a nonlinear and nonlocal parabolic heat source inverse problem. The solution to this inverse problem is defined as the minimizer of a nonconvex cost functional. The existence of the minimizer is proven. We derive the Gateaux derivative of the cost functional, which is based on the adjoint system, and use it for a numerical approximation of the optimal coefficient.

    Comparison of monomorphic and polymorphic approaches for uncertainty quantification with experimental investigations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Drieschner, Martin; Eigel, Martin; Gruhlke, Robert; Hömberg, Dietmar; Petryna, Yuri
    Unavoidable uncertainties due to natural variability, inaccuracies, imperfections or lack of knowledge are always present in real world problems. To take them into account within a numerical simulation, the probability, possibility or fuzzy set theory as well as a combination of these are potentially usable for the description and quantification of uncertainties. In this work, different monomorphic and polymorphic uncertainty models are applied on linear elastic structures with non-periodic perforations in order to analyze the individual usefulness and expressiveness. The first principal stress is used as an indicator for structural failure which is evaluated and classified. In addition to classical sampling methods, a surrogate model based on artificial neural networks is presented. With regard to accuracy, efficiency and resulting numerical predictions, all methods are compared and assessed with respect to the added value. Real experiments of perforated plates under uniaxial tension are validated with the help of the different uncertainty models.

    Development of a stability prediction tool for the identification of stable milling processes
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Hömberg, Dietmar; Uhlmann, Eckart; Rott, Oliver; Rasper, Patrick
    This paper deals with a new mathematical model to characterise the interaction between machine and work piece in a milling process. The model consists of a multi-body system representing the milling machine and a linear thermo-elastic work piece model. An extensive experimental analysis supported the development of the governing model equations. A numerical solution strategy is outlined and complemented by simulations of stable and unstable milling processes including work piece effects. The last part covers the development of a new algorithm for the stability analysis of large milling systems.

    Shape optimization for a sharp interface model of distortion compensation
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Sturm, Kevin; Hintermüller, Michael; Hömberg, Dietmar
    We study a mechanical equilibrium problem for a material consisting of two components with different densities, which allows to change the outer shape by changing the interface between the subdomains. We formulate the shape design problem of compensating unwanted workpiece changes by controlling the interface, employ regularity results for transmission problems for a rigorous derivation of optimality conditions based on the speed method, and conclude with some numerical results based on a spline approximation of the interface.

    Structural multiscale topology optimization with stress constraint for additive manufacturing
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Auricchio, Ferdinando; Bonetti, Elena; Carraturo, Massimo; Hömberg, Dietmar; Reali, Alessandro; Rocca, Elisabetta
    In this paper a phase-field approach for structural topology optimization for a 3D-printing process which includes stress constraint and potentially multiple materials or multiscales is analyzed. First order necessary optimality conditions are rigorously derived and a numerical algorithm which implements the method is presented. A sensitivity study with respect to some parameters is conducted for a two-dimensional cantilever beam problem. Finally, a possible workflow to obtain a 3D-printed object from the numerical solutions is described and the final structure is printed using a fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer.

    Additive manufacturing graded-material design based on phase-field and topology optimization
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Carraturo, Massimo; Rocca, Elisabetta; Bonetti, Elena; Hömberg, Dietmar; Reali, Alessandro; Auricchio, Ferdinando
    In the present work we introduce a novel graded-material design for additive manufacturing based on phase-field and topology optimization. The main novelty of this work comes from the introduction of an additional phase-field variable in the classical single-material phase-field topology optimization algorithm. This new variable is used to grade the material properties in a continuous fashion. Two different numerical examples are discussed, in both of them we perform sensitivity studies to asses the effects of different model parameters onto the resulting structure. From the presented results we can observe that the proposed algorithm adds additional freedom in the design, exploiting the higher flexibility coming from additive manufacturing technology.
