Plastic Instability in Manufacturing Processes from the Standpoint of Energy Economy.

 

In manufacturing processes most of the energy in dissipated and a large part of it is lost in heat, mass and momentum transfer. Instead of “feed control” if we use “force control“, and optimize some of the governing parameters thereby,

We can save a lot of this lost energy in mass scale manufacturing processes like machining, forging, grinding, rolling, etc. that are performed in the light manufacturing industries in Puerto Rico, such as, in Hewlett Packard (HP), General Electric (GE) and in some of the pharmaceutical  manufacturing industries.
