SFB 362:  Fertigen in Feinblech

Subject Area Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
Term from 1993 to 2007
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5478775
 
During recent years sheet metal has been further developed tobecome a high-grade High-Tech semi finished product offering awide range of applications. Therefore sheet metal opens up extendedas well as completely new manufacturing possibilities to design andproduce sheet metal components of a complex geometry with stressand load optimized properties. The sheet metal processing industryplays a key role in most industrialized countries. Within the processof globalization, issues such as saving resources by means of anoptimized and tailored usage of materials in order to put light weightdesigns into practice have to be considered in addition to apermanently increasing quality demand. A major presupposition fora material-specific processing is provided by a close cooperationbetween basic material-related research on the one hand as well asmarket- and product-oriented research focusing on modern andefficient manufacturing techniques on the other hand. Thecollaborative research centre 362 named "Sheet Metal Processing" which is a joint research program of the Technical University of Clausthal and the University of Hannover represents a close partnership between material-related and market-/product-oriented research. To implement the aims previously defined the following approaches are formulated:-- introduction of simultaneous engineering methods in the field of sheet metal processing to shorten the entity of the process chain,-- presentation and design of complex systems by means of numerical simulation, design- and calculation-methods,- improvement of quality and process safety of complex manufacturing processes in the field of sheet metal joining and forming,-- saving resources by means of light weight designs realizing astress-optimized and production-optimized usage of material,-- definition and development of adaptive systems for complexproduction processes within the process sequence "Sheet Metal Processing".
