Publisher's Synopsis
Computers play a key part in the synthesis, control and analysis of materials processes. This book explores the role of existing and emerging computer technologies in materials processing operations. Topics of discussion include: solidification processing; solidification phenomena; physical modeling; measurement and control; and electromagnetic and emerging processes.;Coverage includes: computational software for the casting industry - a perspective on current and future issues; mathematical modelling of shrinkage in metals casting; micro-macro coupling in casting simulations; the application of structured analysis techniques to control system implementation; and mathematical modelling of melting and solidification in electromagnetic confinement systems.
