In-Situ Calibrated Digital Process Twin Models for Resource Efficient Manufacturing

The chief objective of manufacturing process improvement efforts is to significantly minimize process resources such as time, cost, waste, and consumed energy while improving product quality and process productivity. This paper presents a novel physics-informed optimization approach based on artificial intelligence (AI) to generate digital process twins (DPTs). The utility of the DPT approach is demonstrated in the case of finish machining of aerospace components made from gamma titanium aluminide alloy (γ-TiAl). This particular component has been plagued with persistent quality defects, including surface and sub-surface cracks, which adversely affect resource efficiency. Previous process improvement efforts have been restricted to anecdotal post-mortem investigation and empirical modeling, which fail to address the fundamental issue of how and when cracks occur during cutting. In this work, the integration of in-situ process characterization with modular physics-based models is presented, and machine learning algorithms are used to create a DPT capable of reducing environmental and energy impacts while significantly increasing yield and profitability. Based on the preliminary results presented here, we report an improvement in the overall embodied energy efficiency of over 84%, 93% in process queuing time, 2% in scrap cost, and 93% in queuing cost has been realized for γ-TiAl machining using our novel approach.

Model Package Report: Plateau to River Groundwater Model Version 8.3

This model package report documents the groundwater flow component of the Plateau to River Groundwater Model (P2R Model), which is a groundwater flow and contaminant fate and transport (F&T) simulation model used to support remedial activities conducted by CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company at the Hanford Site in Washington State. The objective of this report is to describe the modeling objectives, conceptualization, model implementation, calibration, sensitivity, uncertainty, configuration control, limitations, and future model enhancements of the groundwater flow component of the P2R Model.

Half-hard copper PTW model parameters for plastic deformation calibrated to strain rates from 10 −3 -10 7 /s

This document demonstrates a calibration of the Preston-Tonks-Wallace (PTW) model of plastic deformation that fairly accurately reproduces the flow stress of half-hard copper across strain rates varying by a factor of more than ten billion. The experiments included are quasistatic compression at low rates, Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) compression at intermediate rates, and arrested Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) growth at high strain rates. The temperatures vary from liquid nitrogen (77 K) to around 500 K. The largest true strains obtained are approximately 0.5. It would be interesting to compare the results to copper deformation data at higher pressures and higher strains.
