Numerical modeling of metal cutting processes using the Particle Finite Element Method

Rodríguez Prieto, Juan Manuel (Date of defense: 2014-03-06)

Metal cutting or machining is a process in which a thin layer or metal, the chip, is removed by a wedge-shaped tool from a large body. Cutting is a complex physical phenomena in which friction, adiabatic ...

Particle finite element methods for modelling granular material flows

Dávalos Chargoy, César Emilio (Date of defense: 2014-06-19)

The aim of this work is to present a new procedure for modelling industrial processes that involve granular material flows, using a numerical model based on the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM). ...
