Modelling of Technological Processes

The course is a substitute for:

Modelling of Manufacturing Processes (13MOP)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Electrotechnology

Synopsis:

The course is focused on methods of formation of static models of technological processes and their optimization. Segmentation of processes is presented. Basic types of models of technological processes are characterized and described. Models are constructed analytically on the basis of knowledge of relationships among parameters or experimentally using single- or more-factorial experiments. Methods of tolerance analysis and search for extremes of models - optimum conditions of the process are shown. Types of resources and their influence on model characteristics are also presented.

Requirements:

A student has to have an assessment before an examination. It is obligatory to attend traning. A student has to write and present a short semestral thesis.
