This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant provides funding to develop a unique forming process laser dynamic forming, to form meso- and micro-scale 3D structures. This process combines the advantages of metal forming and laser shock peening to generate 3D shaping in various materials, especially brittle and hard to form materials. The project will discover the fundamental process mechanism of laser dynamic forming, and control the process accurately. Experiments will be designed to study size effects, formability, temperature effects, wrinkling and springback of the forming process. A multiscale simulation approach will be used to simulate the forming process. Analytical models will be built to predict fatigue life and fracture toughness after forming, and validated via experiments. An inverse multiobjective optimization will be developed to design the forming process desired geometry change, and mechanical properties. The education goal of the project is to integrate research activities with educational efforts, such as development of a Laser Processing Education Lab; incorporation of nontraditional manufacturing education into manufacturing courses; and outreach activities for high school students and under-represented minorities through new teaching modules and summer programs with research projects. The successful completion of this work will make a revolutionary improvement to the process of micro- and meso- three-dimensional structures, and have a major impact on manufacturing industry. This work will fundamentally advance the state of knowledge of laser processing through a novel hybrid forming process with improved mechanical properties of product. This project will increase the presence of non-traditional manufacturing techniques in education by establishing a strong research integrated education activities. Native American high school students will be inspired to pursue science and engineering careers. Ethnic minorities, women, and person of disability will be encouraged to participate in this project to pique their interests in science and engineering.

该学院的早期职业发展 (CAREER) 赠款提供资金来开发独特的激光动态成形成形工艺，以形成细观和微观尺度的 3D 结构。 该工艺结合了金属成型和激光冲击强化的优点，可在各种材料，特别是脆性和难成型材料中产生 3D 成型。该项目将揭示激光动态成形的基本过程机理，并精确控制过程。 实验将被设计来研究成形过程的尺寸效应、成形性、温度效应、起皱和回弹。 将使用多尺度模拟方法来模拟成形过程。 将建立分析模型来预测成形后的疲劳寿命和断裂韧性，并通过实验进行验证。 将开发逆多目标优化来设计成形过程所需的几何形状变化和机械性能。 该项目的教育目标是将研究活动与教育工作相结合，例如开发激光加工教育实验室；将非传统制造教育纳入制造课程；通过新的教学模块和带有研究项目的暑期课程，为高中生和代表性不足的少数群体开展外展活动。 这项工作的成功完成将对微细观三维结构工艺产生革命性的改进，并对制造业产生重大影响。 这项工作将从根本上提高激光加工的知识水平，通过一种新颖的混合成型工艺来提高产品的机械性能。 该项目将通过建立强大的研究综合教育活动来增加非传统制造技术在教育中的存在。美国原住民高中生将受到启发去追求科学和工程职业。 将鼓励少数民族、妇女和残疾人参与该项目，以激发他们对科学和工程的兴趣。
