- VCM volumetrically controlled manufacturing
- the VCM process can be used as a rapid prototyping method for composite materials and enables determination of the proper sequence and orientation of material property coefficients that must exist within a synthetic material to meet predefined tolerance specifications.
- the VCM process can be used for mechanical, thermal, electro-magnetic, acoustic, and optic applications and is scalable to Macro, Micro, and Nano levels.
- VCM methodology enables design optimization of many variable raw materials in conjunction with each other, such as ceramics, resins and fiber.
- the VCM methodology can also account for such variable parameters as volume, weight, density, and cost.
- FIGURE IA shows by way of example without limitation a design flow in which the methods and systems described herein may be used.
- an initial solid model is created using finite element analysis and design data.
- the topology of the solid model is optimized and at step 103 shape and sizing optimization data is created using parametric solid modeling.
- the shape and/or size of the model is optimized based on the information created at step 103 and at step 105 the solid model is updated.
- the user prepares for manufacturing based on the updated solid model. This preparation may involve, among other things, generating the proper sequencing of control instructions for controlling suitable manufacturing equipment to thereby manufacture objects corresponding to the updated solid model.
- FIGURE IB shows an example of the evolution of an initial solid model to an updated solid model via the example design flow of FIGURE IA.
- FIGURE 1C shows an example system for designing and manufacturing an object.
- the system includes engineering design equipment 150 which is used, for example, to implement the design flow shown in FIGURE IA.
- Design equipment 150 may include one or more computers running applications, modules, functions, etc. that permit the processes in the design flow to be implemented. These applications, modules and functions include, for example, computer-aided design applications and finite element analysis applications and may also includes applications, modules and functions based on the methodology discussed below.
- the one or more computers may be arranged in a networked or distributed architecture.
- the output of design equipment 150 includes control instructions which are supplied to a control system 160.
- Control system 160 may be a processor-equipped device that uses the control instructions to generate control signals appropriate for controlling manufacturing equipment 170. These control signals may control manufacturing parameters such as temperature, pressure, supply of raw materials, mixtures of raw materials, and the like. Feedback from various sensors (e.g., temperature, pressure and the like) provided in manufacturing equipment 170 is supplied to control system 160 so that control system 160 can generate control signals to maintain temperature and pressure, for example, in certain ranges during the manufacturing process.
- the control instructions are appropriately sequenced to allow the designed object to be manufactured according to the results of the design process.
- control instructions may control the properties of fibers (e.g., number, composition, size, etc.) laid into an epoxy to form a composite material. Additionally or alternatively, the control instructions may vaiy the properties of the epoxy to provide the object designed by the manufacturing process. By way of further example without limitation, the control instructions may control the introducing of alloy constituents in an alloy extrusion process.
- topology optimization problem As conceptualized in FIGURE 2 in connection with an example of a two-phase material, i.e., a composite including fibers and epoxy.
- each phase of the two-phase material in FIGURE 2 is a known material. If the phases include only solid and void, then the "topology problem" is to determine the distribution of the solid material.
- Topology optimization deals with optimum distribution of material in a given domain. One factor in such optimization is to design the material distribution taking into account a general set of attributes relating to cost, weight, performance criteria, and manufacturing specifications.
- FIGURE 3 (a) shows an example structure. This problem of minimizing compliance takes the following form (discussed in greater detail below): minimize compliance ⁇ /(x) (1) subject to weight (x) ⁇ WQ (2) and 0 ⁇ x ⁇ l (3) where x represents the set of parameters that the designer needs to compute.
- FIGURE 3(b) shows an example possible optimum topology.
- Equation (5) denotes "parametrization" - that is, to express density in terms of a finite number of parameters.
- K U F (7)
- K is the stiffness matrix for the structure.
- K may have different meanings depending on the design consideration.
- K may be a thermal conductivity matrix for the structure.
- K may be a reluctivity matrix for the structure.
- Stiffness K is dependent on material properties of the bulk material, such as Young's modulus E , Poisson's ratio v, etc. Again, material re-distribution must reflect changes in these properties.
- E, v, etc. must be parametrized as:
- a repeating microstructure is assumed. If the goal is to design a material that has only two phases with one solid and the other void, then a microstructure may be defined by a unit cell with a void.
- the void can be of any shape such as, but not limited to, a rectangle or a circle.
- Homogenization theory suffers from two drawbacks. First, its mathematical complexity is daunting. This has led to a less powerful yet easier parametrization approach as discussed below. Second, thus far, properties relating to the elastic constitutive behavior of the material such as Young's or shear moduli, dielectric constant, and thermal conductivity have been homogenized.
- the SIMP approach does not provide parametrization of strength properties simultaneously in any meaningful way. Further, there is difficulty in handling three or more phases simultaneously. [0045]
- the systems and methods of this application perform parametrization based on virtual testing. As with the homogenization theory approach, an underlying microstructure is assumed. The essential difference is in the technique used for parametrization of the homogenized properties of the macroscopic or bulk material.
- the virtual testing approach leads to two distinct advantages over homogenization and SIMP methodologies. First, it is much easier to obtain the parametrization form.
- a virtual tensile test will provide Young's modulus E, yield strength ⁇ y , and ultimate strength ⁇ u .
- Other tests will provide shear modulus, dielectric constant, hardness etc. Repeating such tests for different microstracture sizes/shapes (parametrized by X 1 ) will yield the required parametrization or functional relationships as E(x), ⁇ y (x), G ⁇ 2 (x), etc.
- E ⁇ , v ⁇ , and G 120 are denoted as the properties of the non-void material, and E I E ⁇ , v I vo, and G] 2 / Gj 20 as the 'normalized' values. Also, letting x be the volume fraction of solid material, the normalized material constants can be seen to vary from 0 to 1 as x varies from 0 to 1, respectively.
- FIGURES 4(a) and 4(b) show two virtual finite element analyses
- FIGURE 4(a) model is for a non-linear tensile strength test which yields E(x), v(x) and ⁇ y (x).
- the FIGURE 4(b) model yields G u (x) from the well-known equation
- the virtual testing approach agrees well with homogenization theory as seen in FIGURE 5.
- the virtual tests are insensitive with respect to number of unit cells considered or the finite element mesh.
- the virtual testing approach provides numerous advantages. For example, hitherto, strength properties have not been homogenized or parametrized in any clear way. A consequence of this is that only global response has been incorporated into an optimization problem such as involving displacement. Local responses such as involving stress have not been tackled. The ability to parametrize strength properties using the virtual testing approach as described above allows general design problems to be tackled, hitherto untenable. This follows from the equations (11) below: displacement based on ⁇ specified displacement limit homogenized material constants
- multiobjective (i.e., multiattribute) optimization problems can be formulated and solved as discussed in Grissom et al., Conjoint Analysis Based Multiattribute Optimization, Journal of Structural Optimization (2005), the contents of which are incorporated herein.
- An example problem involving topology optimization with von Mises yield stress and displacement constraints is shown in FIGURES 7 A and 7B.
- AT is the temperature change and Ax is the length (distance) through which this temperature change occurs.
- FIGURES 8 and 9 are used for obtaining axial and transverse thermal conductivities.
- FIGURE 8 shows an example 3D finite element mesh for computing axial properties
- FIGURE 9 shows an example 2D finite element mesh for computing transverse properties.
- Unidirectional heat flow is simulated by applying homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions for heat flux on the remaining faces/edges.
- FIGURE 10 shows the material properties of the constituents and
- FIGURE 11 shows virtual test results for thermal conductivity for different volume fractions. Specifically, FIGURE 11 shows axial thermal conductivity versus volume fraction for the graphite/epoxy composite.
- This same procedure can also be used for obtaining other thermal properties such as coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and the like. A sample set of CTE values are shown in FIGURE 12.
- CTE coefficient of thermal expansion
- FIGURE 12 shows transverse CTE values versus volume fraction for the graphite/epoxy composite.
- FIGURE 13 shows a flow diagram for another example process in which virtual testing may be used.
- the problem is defined along with identifying inputs and outputs (design criteria), choosing a finite element analysis package, material models, type(s) of microstructure and associated design variables.
- virtual testing is conducted to determine material constants as functions of design variables and, at step 1303, a finite element model is defined. This model can be validated with published and new experimental data.
- design of experiments (DOE) are conducted and a metamodel is built that replaces the finite element analysis model in the design space.
- optimization algorithms are used to optimize the design and the new design is validated at step 1306. Steps 1304 and 1305 may be performed in an iterative loop.
- Virtual testing can be used to parametrize strength related properties in addition to the moduli related properties considered to-date. This includes yielding, fracture, fatigue, hardness, etc.
- Proposed optimal design methodology allows solution of more real world design problems involving single or multi-physics scenarios, and the traditional sizing, shape and topology design optimization.
- Solution sets can be derived in various forms such as orthotropic, isotropic, anisotropic, transversely isotropic, etc.
- Results can be used for control systems for manufacturing machinery and apparatus used in volumetrically controlled manufacturing to provide, for example, for proper sequencing of raw materials in the manufacturing process (e.g., the introducing of alloy constituents in an alloy extrusion process).
- the techniques described herein may be implemented in hardware, firmware, software and combinations thereof.
- the software or firmware may be encoded on a storage medium (e.g., an optical, semiconductor, and/or magnetic memory) as executable instructions that are executable by a general-purpose, specific-purpose or distributed computing device including a processing system such as one or more processors (e.g., parallel processors), microprocessors, micro-computers, microcontrollers and/or combinations thereof.
- the software may, for example, be stored on a storage medium (optical, magnetic, semiconductor or combinations thereof) and loaded into a RAM for execution by the processing system.
- a carrier wave may be modulated by a signal representing the corresponding software and an obtained modulated wave may be transmitted, so that an apparatus that receives the modulated wave may demodulate the modulated wave to restore the corresponding program.
