Rapid Control Prototyping for the Production of Functionally Graded Materials with Tailored Microstructural Properties Utilizing Comsol Multiphysics
Within the field of hot metal bulk forming the demand arises for fully three-dimensionally tailored properties at the microstructural level, nevertheless, reaching a predefined geometry with such tailored properties puts high requirements on the control mechanisms utilized in the process chain for combined heating, metal forming, and cooling processes.
A simulation based rapid control prototyping ansatz with the help of Comsol Multiphysics was followed utilizing both complex optimization algorithms and self adjusting fuzzy logic controllers leading to a significant reduction in controller implementation time. Within the course of the paper we will highlight model creation, translation of the FEM model to a controllable structure without linearization, FEM based controller development, and PLC implementation.
