9625200 Hu This CAREER award is to develop methods that reduce variation in sheet metal assembly and joining, and an educational plan of curriculum and laboratory development. The technical approach to minimize variations in sheet metal assembly will: (1) develop a generic simulation model of the sheet metal assembly process that takes into account compliance of the sheet, (2) model the resistance welding process so its effects can be included, and (3) develop a robust design criterion that can assess the quality of sheet metal assembly processes. The educational plan will team the investigator and his colleagues as they develop a unique curriculum for both traditional and non-traditional students on automotive assembly engineering. Mentoring and outreach to underrepresented minorities, both through industrial projects and in collaboration with Focus: Hope in Detroit, will be complemented by the development of a laboratory for assembly and joining that will be used for teaching and research. The success of this project will generate new knowledge and methodologies that produce higher quality sheet metal assemblies. This will impact industries such as automotive, aerospace, furniture and appliances, making their products more competitive because of improved quality and lower cost.

9625200 Hu 该职业奖旨在开发减少钣金装配和连接变化的方法，以及课程和实验室开发的教育计划。 最大限度地减少钣金装配变化的技术方法将：(1) 开发钣金装配过程的通用仿真模型，其中考虑到钣金的合规性，(2) 对电阻焊接过程进行建模，以便将其影响纳入考虑范围，以及 (3) 制定稳健的设计标准，以评估钣金装配过程的质量。 该教育计划将与研究人员及其同事合作，为传统和非传统学生开发汽车装配工程的独特课程。 通过工业项目以及与底特律的“焦点：希望”合作，对代表性不足的少数群体进行指导和推广，并将通过开发用于教学和研究的组装和连接实验室来补充。 该项目的成功将产生新的知识和方法，以生产更高质量的钣金组件。 这将影响汽车、航空航天、家具和电器等行业，使其产品因质量提高和成本降低而更具竞争力。
