    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).

    Topology optimization subject to additive manufacturing constraints
    (Berlin ; Heidelberg : Springer, 2021) 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. As a remedy an additive manufacturing constraint is added to the cost functional. First order optimality conditions are derived using a formal Lagrangian approach. 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 demands and increase stability during the printing process.

    Analysis and simulation of multifrequency induction hardening
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Hömberg, Dietmar; Petzold, Thomas; Rocca, Elisabetta
    We study a model for induction hardening of steel. The related differential system consists of a time domain vector potential formulation of the Maxwells equations coupled with an internal energy balance and an ODE for the volume fraction of austenite, the high temperature phase in steel. We first solve the initial boundary value problem associated by means of a Schauder fixed point argument coupled with suitable a-priori estimates and regularity results. Moreover, we prove a stability estimate entailing, in particular, uniqueness of solutions for our Cauchy problem. We conclude with some finite element simulations for the coupled system.

    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 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.

    Numerical simulation of high-frequency induction welding in longitudinal welded tubes
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Asperheim, John Inge; Das, Prerana; Grande, Bjørnar; Hömberg, Dietmar; Petzold, Thomas
    In the present paper the high-frequency induction (HFI) welding process is studied numerically. The mathematical model comprises a harmonic vector potential formulation of the Maxwell equations and a quasi-static, convection dominated heat equation coupled through the joule heat term and nonlinear constitutive relations. Its main novelties are twofold: A new analytic approach permits to compute a spatially varying feed velocity depending on the angle of the Vee-opening and additional spring-back effects. Moreover, a numerical stabilization approach for the finite element discretization allows to consider realistic weld-line speeds and thus a fairly comprehensive three-dimensional simulation of the tube welding process.
