About
Stefanie Reese is a leading figure in the field of computational mechanics, with a primary focus on the modeling and simulation of manufacturing processes, particularly incremental sheet metal forming. Her research uniquely bridges the gap between finite element analysis and multibody system dynamics to address real-world industrial challenges. Reese’s major contribution lies in developing integrated models that predict and correct path deviations in robot-based forming, directly tackling the dimensional inaccuracies caused by robot compliance and workpiece springback. Her most cited work (27 citations) provides a critical validation of flexible joint multibody dynamics implementations for industrial robots, establishing a benchmark for the field. She further advanced the discipline by introducing model reduction techniques, such as selective proper orthogonal decomposition, to drastically cut computational costs for forming simulations. Notably, her model-based path planning approach has been shown to significantly increase the dimensional accuracy of sheet metal parts, a key achievement for low-batch-size production. Through these contributions, Reese has provided the foundational tools for making robot-based sheet metal forming a more precise and industrially viable method.
