DESCRIPTION:Dr. Niko Manopulo\, ETHZ\nBio: Niko Manopulo is senior researc
 her and part-time lecturer at the Institute of Virtual Manufacturing at th
 e ETH Zurich. He obtained his B.Sc. Degree in Civil Engineering from Bogaz
 ici University in Istanbul\, Turkey in 2004 and his M.Sc. Degree in Comput
 ational Science and Engineering from TU München in 2006. He received his 
 doctoral degree in Mechanical and Process Engineering at the ETH Zurich in
  2011.\nHis research interests mainly focus on the computational modelling
  of manufacturing processes. With respect to numerical modelling technique
 s\, he developed a novel simulation approach based on the Arbitrary-Lagran
 gian-Eulerian Finite Element Method in order to accurately predict manufac
 turing defects in fine blanked parts. His PhD thesis\, treating the latter
  subject\, has been awarded the ETH Medal. Concerning material modelling h
 e is interested in microstructure driven plasticity and localization mecha
 nisms under non-proportional loading conditions. As a parallel research st
 ring he has been interested since 2008 in the online control of manufactur
 ing processes\, especially focusing on the use of numerically generated me
 tamodels as a base for adaptive control algorithms.\nManufacturing Technol
 ogy is a truly multidisciplinary field of research which requires a balanc
 ed expertise in many different areas. Especially in case of high precision
  manufacturing\, specific process know-how must be combined with a sound u
 nderstanding of the material behavior as well as of the underlying mechani
 cal deformation/transformation mechanisms. The talk will discuss the role 
 of computational modelling techniques in bringing these different fields t
 ogether with the aim to conduct effective and innovative manufacturing res
 earch. 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.
