Integrated computational manufacturing engineering ManufacturingX Lab

With the rapidly increasing computational capabilities, design and develop manufacturing process through numerical model and simulation has been attracting various attentions. Integrated computational material engineering (ICME), has been proposed by Prof John Allison at University of Michigan and intrigues various active research works. In our group, we focus on the area of manufacturing process model, which inputs process parameters and outputs material deformation, stress and temperature fields.

One of our active projects is sponsored by NASA, which focuses on self-reacting friction stir welding process and weld properties prediction.
