High-cycle bending fatigue properties of additive-manufactured ABS and PLA polymers fabricated by fused deposition modeling 3D-printing

Mohammad Azadi, Ali Dadashi, Shokouh Dezianian et al. · 20 Mar 2021

Nowadays, polymer parts made by additive manufacturing methods (AM) have multiple applications in various industries. Different parameters affect the print quality of the parts and subsequently their mechanical properties. In this study, the effect of the print direction in 3D-printing on the high-cycle bending fatigue properties of polymer parts made by the fused deposition modeling…

Nonlinear analysis of Darcy-Forchheimer flow in EMHD ternary hybrid nanofluid (Cu-CNT-Ti/water) with radiation effect

Shaik Jakeer, Seethi Reddy Reddisekhar Reddy, A. M. Rashad et al. · 1 Feb 2023

This article aims to explore the influence of non-linear Darcy-Forchheimer on the EMHD (Electromagnetohydrodynamic) flow of a couple stress water-based nanofluid, hybrid nanofluid, and ternary hybrid nanofluid with thermal radiation on a stretching sheet. The significant improvement in thermal efficiency and the energy exchange rate used in fuel dynamics and vehicle cooling has led to…

Topology optimization of additive-manufactured metamaterial structures: A review focused on multi-material types

Sattar Mohammadi Esfarjani, Ali Dadashi, Mohammad Azadi · 1 May 2022

Topology optimization is one common technique for structural optimization methods, in which the optimal spatial distribution of structural materials or structural parts could be determined. Topology optimization is a beneficial computational approach that uses through the design process to find the superior layout based on the functional requirements, besides using multi-material structures, as another benefit.…

Interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) characterization of fiber metal laminates (FMLs) manufactured through VARTM process

Muhammad Yasir Khalid, Zia Ullah Arif, Ans Al Rashid et al. · 22 Jul 2021

The aircraft industry is always seeking materials with excellent mechanical properties and good strength to weight ratio. Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) are the emerging class of hybrid composite materials consisting of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) plies and metal sheets. Aircraft parts are subjected to different types of mechanical loading during operation. Combining the properties of FRPs…

Shaping soft materials via digital light processing-based 3D printing: A review

Qi Ge, Bingcong Jian, Honggeng Li · 1 Feb 2022

Soft materials exhibiting unique nonlinear mechanical behavior with large deformation are ubiquitous in nature. In addition, there is a type of soft active materials (SAMs) that can undergo large mechanical deformation. In recent years, soft materials have been developed for impactful applications in aerospace, biomedical devices, and soft robots. However, the traditional manufacturing approaches greatly…
