Mathematical Modeling Of Manufacturing Processes

Learners enrolled: 658   |  Exam registration: 73
ABOUT THE COURSE:
The understanding of the basic mechanism such as heat and mass transport with associated fluid flow including metallurgical transformation, distortion and residual stress generation in different manufacturing processes is the focus of this course. Understanding the complex interaction not only helps to develop mathematical model, it makes the foundation for analysis, numerical simulation at different scale and experimentation for different types of manufacturing processes. The development of computational models for a manufacturing process relies on mathematical expression of the governing mechanism. It helps to design relevant experiments and drives to find the data to be obtained. Mutual understanding between analytical/numerical and experimental results leads to better insight of the basic manufacturing processes that impact on the improvement of existing process and directs for the development of new process. However, this course is completely different from statistical or data driven modeling approach. This course emphasized on the understanding of the most general to advanced manufacturing processes based on scientific principle. The complex mechanism is presented in a simplified way to understand the subject at elementary level. The broad impact is that the students will be able to develop physics based computational model of manufacturing process using standard commercial package (However, this course does not intend to cover the learning of the commercial software).

Instructor bio

Prof. Swarup Bag

IIT Guwahati
The broad area of instructor is teaching and research interest of materials and manufacturing processes through computational models using finite element method and experiments. The instructor completed his Ph.D on “Development of bi-directional heat transfer and fluid flow model for reliable design of GTA and laser welding processes” from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. Later he has worked at the Center for Material Forming (CEMEF), MINES Paris Tech, France in Metallurgy, Structure and Rheology (MSR) group. Soon after post-doctoral research experience, he joined in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati as a faculty member. His primary area of research is fundamental process modeling of welding and joining technologies, optimization of manufacturing processes and recrystallization in metal forming processes. Dr. Bag has published about 56 journal papers, 45 Conference papers, and 18 book chapters related to welding and joining processes. He is the author of the book ‘Computational models for GTA and laser welding processes’ and recipient of ‘Royal Arc Award 2009’ from Indian Institute of Welding for the best PhD thesis in welding. The instructor is involved in teaching the subjects like ‘Physics of Manufacturing Processes’, ‘Engineering Materials’, ‘Advanced Welding Processes’, ‘Mechanical Behavior of Materials’, ‘Solidification Processes’ and ‘Manufacturing Technology’ at IIT Guwahati. The subjects broadly covers the fundamentals of manufacturing processes, mechanical metallurgy, theory of plasticity, heat transfer in manufacturing processes, crystallography, dislocation mechanism, phase transformation and solidification.

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam centres.
The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).
Date and Time of Exams: 
28 October 2023 Morning session 9am to 12 noon; Afternoon Session 2pm to 5pm.
Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Guwahati .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
