MFG 511 Manufacturing Metrology 3 Credits
This course first provides introduction to key concepts of metrology (science of measurement) such as traceability, uncertainty, accuracy, calibration, world metrology systems and accreditation. Then the focus is production- related metrology mainly based on dimensional measurement applications such as displacement, flatness and gauge block interferometric-mechanical measurements, diameter, form and surface texture standards measurements, scale and displacement sensor calibrations, coordinate metrology (CMMs), in-process measurements, optical tooling, nanometrology (atomic scale measurements), machine tool metrology, angle metrology and uncertainty calculations. Principles for precision engineering applications will also be covered including preliminary errors in dimensional metrology and motion mechanism , Abbe principle and applications conforming this principle and self- elimination/separation of errors, metrology loop , influence of temperature, force and vibration in dimensional measurements and precautions for precision engineering to lower the uncertainty of measurements. Laboratory exercises will be carried out with selected examples such as calibration of CNC machine tools using laser interferometers, effective use of reference standards for manufacturing and angular axis calibration of rotary tables using optical components and non-contact measurement equipment.

At the first stage, vector & tensor properties and rules would be shown in order to establish a background for the students to earn advanced level mechanics problem solution capabilities. Later on large deformation theory in its general form will be explained and necessary equations for solid mechanics modeling like; conservation of energy, conservation of momentum will be discussed in detail. Elastic material models and relations for different Isotropic and Orthotropic materials will be explained within the course. Introductory level plasticity which covers the basic relationships for a plastically deforming solid will be provided within the course. Solution of continuum problems with finite element methods will be illustrated and example 1D finite element problem solution methodology will be shown in detail.

MFG 513 Advanced Topics in Finite Element Analysis 3 Credits
Advanced Finite Element Analysis aims at teaching advanced level finite element concepts in a mechanics perspective to graduate level students. The course starts with a complete review of fundamental finite element concepts like discretization of equilibrium equation, interpolation functions, line-surface-volume integrals, Gauss-Quadrature, isoparametric elements, application of essential and natural boundary conditions. Later, finite element elastic analysis concepts and principals for plate & shell elements would be introduced. In the course modeling of the orthotropic (anisotropic) elastic behavior of composites and how to incorporate this material behavior to the finite element models will be shown with worked examples. Next topic is the material and geometric non- linearities and the numerical solution methods of non-linear finite element analysis will be studied. Finally, meshless interpolation concepts such as moving least squares and element free Galerkin methods will be introduced. Matlab will be used as the coding environment during the course. Students will be asked to implement finite element codes in order to get a better understanding of finite element working principles of a commercial finite element software. In the course project, the students would prepare their own finite element analysis code for a given plate\shell type element type in MATLAB environment. In addition working principals and development of user-defined subroutines will be illustrated using “UMAT” of ABAQUS as a commercial finite element software.

MFG 58000 Special Topics in MFE: Manufacturing Processes for Composite Materials 3 Credits
This course will cover manufacturing processes and modeling for fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite materials. In order to optimize material formation and avoid process induced defects, process engineers need a thorough understanding of the coupling between material transformations, thermo-mechanical response, heat transfer, and viscous fluid flow. Students will be given an overview of applications of composite materials, forming processes, and types of process induced defects which may occur. Constituent materials will be discussed (thermosets, thermoplastics, advanced fibers), along with thermo-mechanical characterization methods and material models. The equations of transport, constitutive laws, and dimensionless analysis will be reviewed and given context in process modeling. Models for short fiber suspensions in injection molding, compression molding, and extrusion will be introduced. Process modeling for continuous fiber reinforcement will include Pultrusion, Sheet Forming, Autoclave processing, Out-of-Autoclave processing, Filament Winding, Automated Fiber Placement, and Liquid Composite Molding.

MFG 58002 Special Topics in MFG:Advanced Mechanics of Composite Structures 3 Credits
This course will cover advanced mechanics of composite structures through macroscale modelling of composite materials using high-order laminate theories, and through experimental characterization, and data acquisition and analysis. In order to carry out conceptual design, initial sizing and preliminary modelling of composite structural components, design engineers need a thorough understanding of the experimental mechanics as well as strength, stability, and dynamic mechanical response of thin and thick plates/shells made of composite materials. In this context, students will be given an overview of standards and tests methods for experimental identification of material properties of laminates and sandwich structures. In addition, the constitutive equations and strain-stress transformation equations will be reviewed in the context of modelling composite structures. Beam, plate, and shell kinematics will be introduced based on different lamination theories including layer-wise, zigzag, high-order shear deformation theories. Principles of virtual work and minimum potential energy will be presented for bending, buckling, vibration problems of plate and shell structures. Analytical/numerical solutions of these problems will be included. Computational modelling will include post- processing methods to obtain accurate interlaminar and transverse-shear stresses and quantify damage mechanisms such as delamination, impact, and fracture resistance of composite materials.
