The transformation is happening through digital manufacturing and design (DM&D) – a shift from paper-based processes to digital processes in the manufacturing industry.as technology is having a huge impact on the ways ...

The effect of Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) on performance of Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process for Aluminum Alloy 6061-T651 plates was investigated. MQL was used as a cooling and lubrication medium. Five different ...

Crosslinked high-density polyethylene (XHDPE) is used to manufacture large and rigid products, such as fuel tanks, using a rotomolding process. Currently, defective and post-consumer parts are not recycled and sent to ...

The mechanical properties of 3D-printed parts have been extensively studied and the effects of printing parameters on them have been investigated. However, there are limited reliable data for the thermal properties of the ...

Lightweight structures directly contribute to the sustainability of aviation, as their use reduces the structural weight of aircraft which in turn reduces fuel burned during flight. One family of lightweight structures are ...

A green metallic ink is developed for 3D printing of metallic structures featuring high mechanical and electrical performances. The metallic ink consists of steel micro powders and a water-based chitosan/acetic acid polymer ...

In the present study, the free vibration response of symmetric thickness-and-width-tapered (doubly-tapered) laminated composite beams is investigated. Considering the continuous-plies-interspersed ply drop-off configuration, ...

Coordinate metrology is the most commonly used inspection method to analyze surfaces for manufacturing errors and imperfections. The computational in today’s coordinate metrology are composed of a series of extensive ...

The vibration and damping characteristics of epoxy composites reinforced with pristine and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were investigated experimentally with potential use as integral passive damping ...
