Use of appropriate methods to capture
manufacturing imperfection at the conceptual stage is a major
challenge for the designer and researchers in industry.
Imperfections are observed in almost all type of in macro,
micro and nano-machining domain of manufacturing process.
These imperfections lead to undesirable performance in
application phase. In the present work, a simulation based
approach to handle manufacturing imperfection is
implemented using image processing operators. This method
simulates the image of the component due to manufacturing
imperfections. The usage of these image processing operators
facilitates a realistic simulation of manufacturing errors, in
macro, micro, and nano domain manufacturing. The
simulated image is further processed for its structural
properties i.e. maximum deflection, reactions, Von Mises
stress, and change in amount of material, corresponding to its
intended application. In order to generate these results based
on modified image of beam, the concept of "Solid Isotropic
Material with Penalization"(SIMP) is utilized along with 2-D
finite element routine. An example of a simple cantilever beam
is selected to illustrate the proposed methodology, and the
results are analyzed. The present work discusses a simple and
easy method to predict the behavior of designed component
prior to its manufacturing. |
