ME 718 Modeling and Simulation in Polymer Processing
3 graduate credits
Instructor: Professor Tim A. Osswald
Phone: 608/263-9538
E-mail: osswald@engr.wisc.edu
Course objective:
To acquaint the student with modeling techniques used in commercial
software in the polymer processing industry, and to allow the students to develop their own simulation tools for specialized applications.
Course description:
This course is designed to acquaint the student with computer
simulation technology used for the engineering of polymer processes,
such as compression molding, injection molding, extrusion, blow
molding and many others. The course will show how the finite
difference technique and the finite element and boundary element
methods are used to simulate flow, heat transfer and structural
development in polymer processing operations.
Prerequisite:
Knowledge of polymer processing or consent of instructor.
Homework:
Four homework projects.
Exams:
None.
Computer language:
Fortran/C/C++.
Textbook:
Polymer Processing: Modeling and Simulation,
Osswald and Hernandez-Ortiz, ISBN: 1-56990-398-0.
Course notes:
Sent upon receipt of enrollment.
