Joining of Dissimilar Materials
K. Martinsen (3), S.J. Hu (1), B.E. Carlson  
STC A,  64/2/2015,  P.679
Keywords: Joining, Dissimilar materials, Modelling and testing
Abstract : Emerging trends in manufacturing such as light weighting, increased performance and functionality increases the use of multi-material, hybrid structures and thus the need for joining of dissimilar materials. The properties of the different materials are jointly utilised to achieve product performance. The joining processes can, on the other hand be challenging due to the same different properties. This paper reviews and summarizes state of the art research in joining dissimilar materials. Current and emerging joining technologies are reviewed according to the mechanisms of joint formation, i.e.; mechanical, chemical, thermal, or hybrid processes. Methods for process selection are described and future challenges for research on joining dissimilar materials are summarized.

Metalworking Fluids - Mechanisms and Performance
E. Brinksmeier (1), D. Meyer, A.G. Huesmann-Cordes, C. Herrmann (2)  
STC Cross-STC,  64/2/2015,  P.605
Keywords: Mechanism, Performance, Metalworking Fluids
Abstract : In various manufacturing processes, metalworking fluids (MWFs) are applied to ensure workpiece quality, to reduce tool wear, and to improve process productivity. The specific chemical composition of an applied MWF should be strongly dependent on the scope of application. Even small changes of the MWF-composition can influence the performance of MWFs in manufacturing processes considerably. Besides defined variations of the composition, the MWF-chemistry furthermore changes over the service life of the fluid. This paper presents the current state of the art regarding the assumed working mechanisms of MWFs including the effects of desired and undesired changes of the MWF properties.

Yue H. Yin (2), Andrew Y. C Nee (1), S.K. Ong (1), Jian Y. Zhu (1), Pei H. Gu (1), Lien J. Chen (2)  
STC Dn,  64/2/2015,  P.655
Keywords: Design automation, human-machine integration, intelligent design
Abstract : This paper reviews the state-of-the-art methodologies for automating design with intelligent human-machine integration from the perspectives of ontology and epistemology. The human-machine integrated automating design paradigm is reviewed systematically based on a proposed prototype of human-machine integrated design, from the aspects of ontology-based knowledge management with local-to-global ontology transitions, and epistemology-based upward-spiral cognitive process of coupled design ideation. Particularly, imaginal thinking frame is proposed as the foundation of intelligent human-machine interaction that puts human and machine on an equal platform. Further, this paper presents implementations and applications of the automating design paradigm and concludes with the identification of future trend.

 STC E 

Micro additive manufacturing using ultra short laser pulses
Bert Huis in ‘t Veld, Ludger Overmeyer (2), Michael Schmidt (2), Konrad Wegener (2), Ajay Malshe (1), Paulo Bartolo (1)  
STC E,  64/2/2015,  P.701
Keywords: Laser micromachining, Nano manufacturing, Additive manufacturing
Abstract : Ultra short, i.e. femto- and picosecond laser pulses, give new possibilities for additive manufacturing at micro- or nanometer length scales. This keynote paper focuses on two processes, viz Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) and two-photon polymerization (2PP). LIFT offers opportunity to transfer a large variety of materials and the resolution of 3D structures made with 2PP is unparalleled. Both processes have an enormous flexibility due to the possibility of Direct Laser Writing (DLW). Attention is provided to modelling and monitoring of these processes. Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) and hybrid micro stereo lithography are alternative methods and are briefly described.

Metal forming beyond shaping: predicting and setting product properties
A.E. Tekkaya (1), J.M. Allwood (1), P.F. Bariani (1), S. Bruschi (2), J. Cao (1), S. Gramlich, P. Groche (1), G. Hirt (2), T. Ishikawa (2), C. Löbbe, J. Lueg-Althoff, M. Merklein (2), W.Z. Misiolek, M. Pietrzyk (1), R. Shivpuri (1), J. Yanagimoto (1)  
STC F,  64/2/2015,  P.629
Keywords: Metal forming, Product, Properties
Abstract : Metal forming is not only shaping the form of a product, it is also influencing its mechanical and physical properties over its entire volume. Advanced anal-ysis methods recently enable accurate prediction of these properties and allow for setting these properties deterministically during the forming process. Effective measurement methods ensure the setting of these predicted properties. Several real examples demonstrate the impressive achievements and indicate the necessity of a paradigm change in designing products by including manufacturing-induced effects in the initial dimensioning. This paradigm change will lead to lightweight components and serve environmentally benign designs.
