On preventing the dripping effect of overhang constraints in topology optimization for additive manufacturing
(Springer, 2021-09-14)
This article falls within the scope of topology optimization for Additive Manufacturing processes and proposes an alternative strategy to prevent the phenomenon known as the Dripping Effect. The Dripping Effect is when an ...
Stiffening near-net-shape functional parts of Inconel 718 LPBF considering material anisotropy and subsequent machining issues
(Elsevier, 2021-12-24)
[EN] Additive manufacturing of metallic parts has witnessed significant development. The laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process has emerged as a key process for manufacturing thin-walled components. However, despite the ...
Active Learning for Road Lane Landmark Inventory with V-ELM in Highly Uncontrolled Image Capture Conditions
(Elsevier, 2021-05-28)
Road landmark inventory is becoming an important data product for the maintenance of transport infrastructures. Several commercial sensors are available which include synchronized optical cameras that allowto build 360° ...
Delamination Fracture Behavior of Unidirectional Carbon Reinforced Composites Applied to Wind Turbine Blades
(MDPI, 2021-01-27)
One of the materials that is used widely for wind turbine blade manufacturing are fiber-reinforced composites. Although glass fiber reinforcement is the most used in wind turbine blades, the use of carbon fiber allows ...
A Hybrid Control Approach for the Swing Free Transportation of a Double Pendulum with a Quadrotor
(MDPI, 2021-06-13)
In this article, a control strategy approach is proposed for a system consisting of a quadrotor transporting a double pendulum. In our case, we attempt to achieve a swing free transportation of the pendulum, while the ...
Temperature based maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic modules
(Nature, 2020-07-27)
In this article authors propose a temperature based Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm (MPPT). Authors show that there is an optimal current vs maximum power curve that depends on photovoltaic (PV) module temperature. ...
On the relationship between cutting forces and anisotropy features in the milling of LPBF Inconel 718 for near net shape parts
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
The versatility and potential applications of additive manufacturing have accelerated the development of additive/subtractive hybrid manufacturing methods. LPBF processes are exceptionally efficient at producing complex-shaped, ...
Drilling of CFRP-Ti6Al4V stacks using CO2-cryogenic cooling
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
In the work here presented, liquefied CO2 is used as cutting fluid for drilling CFRP-Ti6Al4V stacks as alternative to dry-drilling. Several tests were performed using dry-drilling technique, to compare this with the ...
In pursuit of sustainable cutting fluid strategy for machining Ti-6Al-4V using life cycle analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-09)
The need for developing sustainable manufacturing processes which should have a good balance between economic viability and environmental protection is one of the key challenges against manufacturers. The conventional ...
