Engineering Research Deployment Teaching Initiative: Use of Finite Element Modeling for Undergraduate Instruction in Manufacturing Processes

小行星9310000 在机械工程等课程中引入的材料课程必然只占所涵盖主题总数的一小部分，并面临着被视为边缘课程的危险，这些课程必须被学生容忍，但不一定被学生掌握。 因此，有必要为学生提供学习工具，使内容有趣，但也让学生参与自己的学习。 材料和制造实验是这种尝试的一个非常必要的部分，但就其本质而言，排除了学生的操纵和重新设计。 它们通常由教师和学生建立，他们对材料的理解远远超过本科生的成熟度和知识。 它们需要大量的准备时间来建立，并且实施成本高昂。 高性能计算机技术的出现和制造过程计算机模拟方法的发展为大学生的教学提供了巨大的潜力。 我们的目标是将一个有限元为基础的模拟包形成过程中的高级本科材料实验室，以提高本科学生的材料和制造工艺的学习。 这就需要开发课程材料和精心设计的数值实验，这将鼓励学生探索和提高材料的行为在形成过程中的理解。

9310000 Haque Materials courses introduced into curricula such as Mechanical Engineering necessarily constitute a small fraction of the total number of topics covered and face the danger of being considered fringe courses that have to be tolerated but not necessarily mastered by students. It is therefore necessary to provide tools for students learning that make the contents interesting but also involve the students in their own learning. Experiments in materials and manufacturing are a very necessary part of this attempt but by their very nature excludes manipulation and redesign by students. They are typically set up by faculty and students whose understanding of the material far exceeds the maturity and knowledge of the undergraduate student. They require significant lead time to set up and are costly to implement. The advent of high powered computer technologies and the development of computer simulation methods of manufacturing processes offer great potential as tools for teaching of undergraduates. The objective is to incorporate a finite element based simulation package for forming processes into a senior level undergraduate materials laboratory for enhancing undergraduate student learning of materials and manufacturing processes. This necessitates the development of course materials and careful design of numerical experiments that will encourage student exploration and enhance understanding of material behavior during forming.
