These sharp burrs / extruded edges act as stress concentration regions for fatigue crack propagation in safety critical aerospace components. In this paper, results of an experimental investigation carried out on surface integrity of titanium based alloy during mechanized edge profiling process are presented. In the Mechanized Edge Profiling (MEP) process the primary sharp edges created as result of hole machining are removed using a hard point countersink tool and the secondary sharp edges produced due to countersinking/chamfering the hole entry and exit side edges are radiused using nylon impregnated silicon carbide brushes. On-machine edge profiling experiments were conducted using compliant Flexhone™ and Novoflex™ globular abrasive brushes on highly stressed bolt/flange holes. Brushing speed and feed rate were identified as key process variables. Nylon impregnated with silicon carbide 320 grit brush showed good performance when brushing at a speed of 5000rpm and 5000mm/min feed rate which produced a very consistent and controlled secondary edge radius of 0.3±0.2mm up to 30 holes. An acceptable surface roughness (Ra) of less than 0.5μm on the chamfer and bore surfaces were achieved.","PeriodicalId":290562,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Materials; Joint MSEC-NAMRC-Manufacturing USA","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132795283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first process, the wet compression molding is combined with deep drawing. In the second process, deep drawing is combined with resin transfer molding (RTM). One of the benefits of these processes is a better forming behavior of the FML due to the use of a low viscous monomer mixture which polymerizes directly between the metal blanks. A detailed overview on the manufacturing of such components is given. After showing the process feasibilities, the 3-dimensional components are analyzed regarding their geometry and their forming behavior. The results are used to set a process window and to set a recommended guidance for the process. With the help of the in-situ hybridization, 3-dimensional parts could be produced successfully without using pre-consolidated wrought material, so that a high flexibility of the materials’ choice can be obtained.","PeriodicalId":290562,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Materials; Joint MSEC-NAMRC-Manufacturing USA","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116766805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The surface uncertainty is modeled by the Gaussian process model and the probing points are selected to minimize the maximum surface uncertainty (surface variance) conditioned on the touch probings at the selected points. The algorithm has been tested with various numerical examples and has been applied in real machining scenarios. The surface reconstruction error based on the developed algorithm is 50% smaller than uniform sampling.

The process superposes targeted radial stresses during bending and is therefore called radial stress superposed bending, short RSS-bending. As material damage is strongly dependent on the load path, the setting of this property becomes possible in this process. Hence, the process principle, its features and the tool setup are presented. Furthermore, numerical simulations are carried out with the aim to investigate the occurring deformation zone and the resulting radial stress superposition. Scanning electron micrographs prove that the evolution of voids is delayed. With the acquired knowledge to change the stress state during the bending process, the property ‘damage’ can be controlled and finally reduced. This enhances the microstructure and lifetime performance of the bent product.","PeriodicalId":290562,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Materials; Joint MSEC-NAMRC-Manufacturing USA","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126886520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A temperature gradient across the thickness of this shape memory polymer (SMP) sheet induces folding along the line of contact with the heating ribbon. Varying the electric current changes the degree of folding and extent of local material flow. This method can be used to create practical 3D structures. Sheets of PSPS and NPS were cut to 10 × 20 mm samples and their folding angles were plotted with respect to time, as obtained from in situ videography. In addition, the use of polyimide tape (Kapton) was investigated for controlling the direction of self-folding. Results show that folding happens on the opposite side of the sample with respect to the tape, regardless of which side the heating ribbon is on, or whether gravity is opposing the folding direction. Given the tunability of fold times and extent of local material flow, heat-assisted folding is a promising approach for manufacturing complex 3D lightweight structures by origami engineering.","PeriodicalId":290562,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Materials; Joint MSEC-NAMRC-Manufacturing USA","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127332061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biaxial testing is commonly used to evaluate work-hardening behavior of sheet metal in biaxial tension to study the accumulation of plastic strains to determine the anisotropic yield loci. The current state-of-the-art specimen geometry that is used for biaxial testing is the cruciform specimen. Cruciform specimens are machined into a geometry that resembles a cross with four arms arranged at 90 degrees. However, this geometry is prone to premature failure and non-homogenous strain distribution within the gauge region. These problems persist even with the addition of complex features (e.g., slits and multi-step pockets). Therefore, the primary goal of the new specimen geometry is to achieve a large and uniform strain field within the gauge region. One of the main problems of the cruciform specimen is the formation of stress concentration within the gauge region. Therefore, the proposed specimen geometry is comprised of four additional arms between the existing cruciform arms. This geometry is termed an ‘Octo-Strain’ specimen after the eight arms that are arranged in a 45-degree planar pattern. It is hypothesized that the additional arms will stabilize the stress concentrations and, thus, achieve increased failure strain and uniformity as compared to the cruciform geometry. This work focuses on the comparison of the cruciform specimen to the Octo-Strain specimen during balanced biaxial deformation of mild steel. It is found that the Octo-Strain specimen achieved twice the failure strain and increased strain uniformity within the gauge region as compared to the cruciform specimen.","PeriodicalId":290562,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Materials; Joint MSEC-NAMRC-Manufacturing USA","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117106754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Boundary slope of a part affects the amount of support structure required during its fabrication by additive processes. Boundary slope also has direct relation with the resulting surface roughness from the AM processes, which in turn affects the heat transfer efficiency. By constraining the minimal boundary slope, support structures can be eliminated or reduced for AM, and thus material and post-processing costs are reduced; by constraining the maximal boundary slope, high surface roughness can be attained, and thus the heat transfer efficiency is increased. In this paper, the boundary slope is controlled through a constraint between the density gradient and the given build direction. This allows us to explicitly control the boundary slope through density gradient in the density-based topology optimization approach. We control the boundary slope through a single global constraint. Numerical examples on heat conduction problem, and coupled 2D and 3D thermoelastic problems demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed formulation in controlling boundary slopes for additive manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":290562,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Materials; Joint MSEC-NAMRC-Manufacturing USA","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117233228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
