    Topology optimization subject to additive manufacturing constraints
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Ebeling-Rump, Moritz; Hömberg, Dietmar; Lasarzik, Robert; Petzold, Thomas
    In Topology Optimization the goal is to find the ideal material distribution in a domain subject to external forces. The structure is optimal if it has the highest possible stiffness. A volume constraint ensures filigree structures, which are regulated via a Ginzburg-Landau term. During 3D Printing overhangs lead to instabilities, which have only been tackled unsatisfactorily. The novel idea is to incorporate an Additive Manufacturing Constraint into the phase field method. A rigorous analysis proves the existence of a solution and leads to first order necessary optimality conditions. With an Allen-Cahn interface propagation the optimization problem is solved iteratively. At a low computational cost the Additive Manufacturing Constraint brings about support structures, which can be fine tuned according to engineering demands. Stability during 3D Printing is assured, which solves a common Additive Manufacturing problem.

    A mathematical model for case hardening of steel
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Fasano, Antonio; Hömberg, Dietmar; Panizzi, Lucia
    A 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.

    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 multiphase steel production
    (Berlin ; Heidelberg : Springer, 2019) Hömberg, Dietmar; Krumbiegel, Klaus; Togobytska, Nataliya
    An optimal control problem for the production of multiphase steel is investigated that takes into account phase transformations in the steel slab. The state equations are a semilinear heat equation coupled with an ordinary differential equation, that describes the evolution of the steel microstructure. The time-dependent heat transfer coefficient serves as a control function. Necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for the control problem are derived. For the numerical solution of the control problem, a reduced sequential quadratic programming method with a primal-dual active set strategy is developed. The numerical results are presented for the optimal control of a cooling line in the production of hot-rolled Mo–Mn dual phase steel. © 2019, The Author(s).

    A time domain sampling method for inverse acoustic scattering problems
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2015) Guo, Yukun; Hömberg, Dietmar; Hu, Guanghui; Li, Jingzhi; Liu, Hongyu
    This work concerns the inverse scattering problems of imaging unknown/inaccessible scatterers by transient acoustic near-field measurements. Based on the analysis of the migration method, we propose efficient and effective sampling schemes for imaging small and extended scatterers from knowledge of time-dependent scattered data due to incident impulsive point sources. Though the inverse scattering problems are known to be nonlinear and ill-posed, the proposed imaging algorithms are totally direct involving only integral calculations on the measurement surface. Theoretical justifications are presented and numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our methods. In particular, the proposed static imaging functionals enhance the performance of the total focusing method (TFM) and the dynamic imaging functionals show analogous behavior to the time reversal inversion but without solving time-dependent wave equations.

    A 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, Thomas
    We 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.

    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.

    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.

    Modelling and simulation of flame cutting for steel plates with solid phases and melting
    (Berlin ; Heidelberg : Springer, 2020) Arenas, Manuel J.; Hömberg, Dietmar; Lasarzik, Robert; Mikkonen, Pertti; Petzold, Thomas
    The goal of this work is to describe in detail a quasi-stationary state model which can be used to deeply understand the distribution of the heat in a steel plate and the changes in the solid phases of the steel and into liquid phase during the flame cutting process. We use a 3D-model similar to previous works from Thiébaud (J. Mater. Process. Technol. 214(2):304–310, 2014) and expand it to consider phases changes, in particular, austenite formation and melting of material. Experimental data is used to validate the model and study its capabilities. Parameters defining the shape of the volumetric heat source and the power density are calibrated to achieve good agreement with temperature measurements. Similarities and differences with other models from literature are discussed. © 2020, The Author(s).

    Simulationsbasierte Regelung der Laserhärtung von Stahl
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2006) Alder, Holger; Hömberg, Dietmar; Weiss, Wolf
    Bei 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.
