The lab predicts the properties of processed regions by simulating manufacturing processes.
AboutAbout the lab
Predicting the mechanics of material processing through simulation
The Process Mechanics Lab studies the mechanical phenomena that accompany material processing, including thermal processing, machining, and combined processing.
Processes such as welding and joining, cutting, and machining cause mechanical effects like residual stress and deformation, which affect the performance and reliability of products and structures.
By integrating materials science, process physics, and mechanical design, the lab develops simulation models of manufacturing processes, with the aim of predicting the properties of processed regions.
The lab was established in 1964 as a chair dealing with welding mechanics, and has carried out education and research under the name Process Mechanics since 2009.
Key terms
- Process mechanics
- A new academic field that clarifies the mechanical phenomena accompanying processing through the interaction of materials science, process physics, and mechanical design
- Residual stress
- The force (stress) that remains inside a material after processing such as welding
- Welding mechanics
- A field that deals with mechanical problems related to welding, such as thermal stress and residual stress generated by welding, welding distortion, and the strength of welded joints
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to clarify the mechanical phenomena that accompany processing by considering how materials science, process physics, and mechanical design interact. It conducts education and research on material processing such as thermal processing, machining, and combined processing.
