Traditionally, aspects such as emissions and energy consumption have to be taken into account for environmental and economic reasons when it comes to transport. In other areas of logistics, such as production logistics and intralogistics, the energy aspect is also becoming increasingly important. Existing literature has been recently reviewed in a contribution of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Simulation (ASIM) to the Winter Simulation Conference 2018 (Uhlig et al. 2018) to develop a map of common approaches and best practices for manufacturing and logistics systems. In the paper presented here, as a complement we are focusing on the application of energy simulation in logistics to give a comprehensive overview and present exemplary case studies. Furthermore, we show a classification of approaches to combine energy aspects with simulation. Finally, we will discuss open questions and future trends in this field of research.

The application of graphene in polymers and polymer-based composites was investigated in an application-oriented research project. The aim was the improvement of mechanical, electrical and thermal properties by using graphene as nanofiller in the polymer matrix. Research concentrated on developing appropriate formulations of graphene-based plastics for functionally integrated components, which can be processed in an industrial environment. Since most of recent studies have been done in lab environment, guaranteeing ideal processing conditions not relevant in industrial production, the approach of this project was hallmarked by using industrial equipment for compounding and further processing.

Deformation at high strain rates in combination with local thermal softening can lead to the formation of so-called adiabatic shear bands. These shear bands occur when the macroscopic deformation is concentrated in microscopic areas. The fundamental thermomechanical processes and micromechanical mechanisms acting during adiabatic shear band formation are not fully understood yet. In particular, the influence of different initial microstructures on shear band formation has not sufficiently clarified. In an earlier investigation, adiabatic shear bands formed in a β-titanium alloy with different initial microstructures were characterized in detail. It was shown that different volume fractions of the α-phase result in the formation of different types of shear bands. In the present study, a simple modeling approach based on the finite element (FE) method is used to investigate in a systematic parameter study (with a special focus on mechanical and thermal variables) how these different types of adiabatic shear bands can occur in the same material. The FE simulations clearly show that microstructural characteristics – such as size and volume fraction of the α-phase in the β-titanium alloy – have a strong influence on shear band formation. This study contributes to a more detailed understanding of the microstructural and thermomechanical mechanisms leading to the formation of different types of adiabatic shear bands in titanium alloys.

In Electrochemical Machining (ECM), where the material removal takes place based on the anodic dissolution of the workpiece material, the working distance is one of the most important parameters. Especially in Jet Electrochemical Machining (Jet-ECM), where a micro nozzle is moved over the initial surface of the workpiece in order to apply an electrolytic free jet to produce the desired shapes, the distance between the nozzle and the workpiece becomes even more important. On the one hand a small working distance is aspired to achieve high current densities resulting in a high efficiency of the process. On the other hand the working distance needs to be large enough to avoid damages on the micro nozzle caused by electrical discharges or mechanical contact. Hence, the adjustment of the working gap is essential to realize a precise, effective and secure Jet-ECM process. The control of the gap size is done based on the data gathered before machining by surface measurement. Until now, the initial surface has been detected by electrostatic probing through moving the nozzle stepwise to the work piece surface and detect the voltage drop between the nozzle and the work piece. With this strategy, only a limited number of points can be detected within adequate time. Hence, in most cases only three points of the initial surface are detected in order to adjust the working distance according to the planar inclination of the workpiece. The coordinates of the three detected points are used to calculate the normal vector of the initial surface. In recent studies, another strategy was analysed, which is realized by dividing the surface into smaller areas and respectively calculating the normal vector of each area in order to obtain more accurate data of the initial surface. A further strategy is to use probing along the machining path of the tool and to gather the coordinates of a number of points along the path. The above mentioned methods usually do not ensure the precise control of

Magnetic pulse welding (MPW) is an impact welding technology for producing metallic bonds of similar and dissimilar materials offering advantages such as avoidance of temperature induced problems. Based on the parameters describing the collision of the joining partners, specifically the impact angle and impact velocity, so-called welding windows describe whether or not welding will be successful for a specific material combination. However, as in MPW collision parameters depend on equipment and setup dependent parameters, using these welding windows for process design requires knowledge about the adjustment of the collision parameters via the adjustable process parameters. Therefore, the influence of adjustable process parameters on collision parameters and resulting weld quality is analyzed and trends, for a target oriented process and joint design, are deduced. Specifically, joining of copper to aluminum, copper to copper, aluminum to copper and aluminum to stainless steel is regarded.

A very important feature of high quality gears is a low noise emission in all operating conditions. Micro-geometry of the gear is of relevance for the vibration excitation in the tooth contact and significantly affected by the manufacturing process, especially the finishing operations. Besides known process related effects, uncontrolled variations such as inaccuracies in the speed synchronization of different axes or vibrations influence the surface structure of the tooth flanks. In this paper a detailed simulation of the production process is presented, providing crucial information about characteristic process properties and enabling investigations on the impact of manufacturing process on gear mesh acoustics.
