Damage Optimization of bulk metal forming processes under uncertainty (Project C06*)

• Subject Area: Mechanics
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 278868966

Project C06 is aimed at optimizing the mechanical performance of metal formed parts through the robust design optimization of the manufacturing process in view of controlling and minimizing the damage and its variability. Hereto, state-of-the-art methods to quantify, propagate and optimize with uncertainties will be developed, implemented, and validated on case studies in cold-forged steel and gas-based hot metal formed Aluminum.
