Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) processes have the ability to build complex geometries from a wide variety of materials. A popular approach for metal-based AM processes involves the deposition of material particles on a substrate followed by fusion of those particles together using [...]

Abstract

AM processes are characterized by complex thermal cycles that have a deep influence on the microstructural transformations of the deposited alloy. In this work, a general [...]

Abstract

The RAMSSES project aims to show the benefits of advanced materials in maritime applications by implementing 13 market driven demo cases. The entire process chain and a wide range of applications (structural components, equipment, ship integration, repair) are covered. Installation [...]

Abstract

The usability of machine learning approaches for the development of in-situ process monitoring, automated anomaly detection and quality assurance for the selective laser melting (SLM) process receives currently increasing attention. For a given set of real machine data we compare [...]

Abstract

Metamaterials research and, moreover, their obtaining by additive manufacturing is trendy because of their potential industrial applications, since lattice structures can save weight when integrated in larger parts. For this reason, it is important to draw these new material properties [...]

Abstract

This paper explores the self-healing abilty of the ionomer called Surlyn® 8940 (manufactured by DuPont), a partially neutralised poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) (EMAA) ionomer copolymer, and the improvement of the mechanical properties after adding a nano-reinforcement [...]

Abstract

The present study investigates the enhanced energy absorption capabilities in the radial direction of structures through the combination of continuous glass fiber reinforced polyamide hollow sections (cGF/PA) and complex cellular cores manufactured by 3D printing cFF [...]

Abstract

Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes such as Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) suffer from part distortion due to the localized melting and resolidification of the metal powder, which introduces stresses and strains. Despite becoming more and more important as a manufacturing [...]

Abstract

Manufacturing composite materials by conventional methods is known to be costly as it requires many steps, equipment and tooling. The challenge this presents can benefit from the moldless approach and rapid, automated prototyping enabled by additive manufacturing. Today, additive [...]

Abstract

Carbon fibre matrix composites are consolidated in high-demanding industries such as aeronautics and aerospace. Nowadays, thermoset composites are fully integrated on several new aircrafts in production. However, [...]
