Dr. Niko Manopulo, ETHZ Bio: Niko Manopulo is senior researcher and part-time lecturer at the Institute of Virtual Manufacturing at the ETH Zurich. He obtained his B.Sc. Degree in Civil Engineering from Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey in 2004 and his M.Sc. Degree in Computational Science and Engineering from TU München in 2006. He received his doctoral degree in Mechanical and Process Engineering at the ETH Zurich in 2011. His research interests mainly focus on the computational modelling of manufacturing processes. With respect to numerical modelling techniques, he developed a novel simulation approach based on the Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian Finite Element Method in order to accurately predict manufacturing defects in fine blanked parts. His PhD thesis, treating the latter subject, has been awarded the ETH Medal. Concerning material modelling he is interested in microstructure driven plasticity and localization mechanisms under non-proportional loading conditions. As a parallel research string he has been interested since 2008 in the online control of manufacturing processes, especially focusing on the use of numerically generated metamodels as a base for adaptive control algorithms. |

Manufacturing Technology is a truly multidisciplinary field of research which requires a balanced expertise in many different areas. Especially in case of high precision manufacturing, specific process know-how must be combined with a sound understanding of the material behavior as well as of the underlying mechanical deformation/transformation mechanisms. The talk will discuss the role of computational modelling techniques in bringing these different fields together with the aim to conduct effective and innovative manufacturing research. The contents are selected from the research efforts of the lecturer in the recent years, with special focus on advanced numerical as well as constitutive modelling techniques. The seminar will be concluded by hints about the future research challenges concerning manufacturing technology.
