The development of functionally gradient microstructures is an important materials process design enhancement.
The multistage model was developed as a physically-based framework to evaluate sensitivity of fatigue response to various microstructural features to support materials process design and component-specific tailoring of fatigue resistant materials.
To aid the material-process design, two crack tip driving force parameter maps that relate loading conditions to damage at the microstructure scale were also established.
Further simulation was conducted to develop material and process design considerations by addressing part-quality issues.
An opinion that is gaining acceptance throughout the comminution community is that it is desirable for the comminution field to evolve toward material driven process design.
This chapter will explore some process systems engineering tools, techniques, and areas of opportunities that process systems engineers need to apply to embed sustainability concepts during material selection, process design, process and product modeling, and supply chain implications.
Professor Anton has taught a broad range of undergraduate- and graduate-level courses to chemical engineering students, including physical chemistry, classical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, chemical separations, process dynamics and control, electronic materials processing, chemical process design, statistical thermodynamics, and applied mathematics.
A knowledge of the physical properties of materials as a function of temperature, composition, applied external stresses, etc. is an important consideration in materials and process design.
We present a multi-stage approach to overcome this drawback, which bases on process decomposition in different levels, combined with an efficient screening of promising materials and process design variants by means of shortcut methods.
Thus it gives a prerequisite for improved and material specific industrial process design in future.
