Abstract:

The problems of development of an alternative computational tool, which is capable of including in models the stochastic and discontinuous phenomena occurring in materials, are discussed in this paper. The outlook of solutions, which are based on the Cellular Automata (CA) approach, is presented. Various kinds of applications of the CA method to the modeling of metallurgical processes are described. Examples of application of the multiscale methods based on the combination of the CA method and the macro scale analysis techniques based on the finite element approach are discussed, as well. The purpose of CA technique in multiscale analysis is a link between various phenomena in the microscopic scale and macroscopic mechanical properties. Variety of practical applications makes this method a very powerful computational tool. This paper is a study of possibilities given by those relatively new computational techniques. The advantages and limitations occurring during metal forming applications of the methods are also discussed.
