While the manufacturing of rigid or structural components is well-established and widely practiced, the production of expanded materials presents significantly greater challenges due to the final product's reliance on the specific process employed. Changing the process to lower costs necessitates reproducing the same mechanical behaviour and appearance to ensure validation in terms of both style and function. This study focuses on replicating the behaviour of expanded polyurethane foam, commonly used in motorcycle seat padding, using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The aim is to create a prototype or a customised version of the foam. The internal stochastic closed-cell structure is designed using slicing software, and test specimens are subsequently fabricated through Material Extrusion (MEX) additive manufacturing and subjected to compression testing. The results emphasise the critical influence of material hardness and infill density on the force-displacement curves. An experimental map, derived from three parameters (material hardness, elastic modulus, and foam density) illustrates the behaviour of the specimens, with iso-lines representing constant density. This map serves as a valuable tool for accurately replicating desired foam properties, providing guidance on material selection based on force-displacement characteristics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34573,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100158"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143479400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a method is presented for creating irregular convex shapes by adjusting the pressure to control the forming forces. At first, the general characteristics of the forming forces in incremental sheet forming with active medium (IFAM) are investigated based on a truncated pyramid and a truncated cone. The findings show that the pressure has to be adapted for each contour of the toolpath to achieve a specific wall angle. However, this strategy cannot be applied for an irregular shape consisting of half a truncated pyramid and half a truncated cone since the forming forces fluctuate over one contour. To enhance the control approach, a data set is subsequently generated by recording the forming forces under the influence of the wall angle. The data analysis reveals a strong correlation between the height difference per contour and the tangential force. Finally, a control concept is proposed to adjust the tangential force and is subsequently validated on the irregular-shaped part.

Overheating may lead to heterogeneous mechanical properties along the laminate thickness or even to an uncontrolled reaction. To avoid overheating, most thermoset resin manufacturers recommend a “safe” cure cycle. However, these cure cycles can be improved to shorten cure times in thin laminates and may not be good enough to avoid overheating in thick laminates. In this paper, we propose a new analytical model to determine the critical thickness above which thermal runaway occurs when the laminate is heated at a constant rate up to a constant temperature. The model considers different thermal boundaries between the mould and the laminate, i.e., from a perfect thermal contact to a contact of infinite resistance. The analytical model was corroborated through the numerical integration of the equations governing it and experimental data from the curing process of a thick laminate composed of the commercial VTC401 epoxy resin and M55J carbon fiber system. Model predictions indicate that, under the manufacturer's recommended cure cycle, which includes an initial heating rate of 2 K/min, thermal runaway occurs in laminates thicker than 12.4 mm, aligning with experimental observations. A 20-mm-thick laminate, exceeding this threshold, was cured using a reduced heating rate of 0.3 K/min based on our criteria, successfully preventing overheating. The maximum temperature gradient recorded experimentally remained below 1 °C, confirming the model's prediction of uniform thermalization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34573,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100156"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143138708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several industrial fields use this technology thanks to its capability to realize very accurate machining. A greater use of micro-EDM drilling process is limited by its poor performance in terms of machining time. To overcome this limit, hybrid solutions are being tested. The idea consists of benefitting from the advantages of at least two technologies trying to overcome the limitation of each one of them. Typically, EDM is used as secondary operation and the process consists of executing the micro-hole on a pre-hole realized by another process like laser. In this way, both the process performance and the quality aspects are guaranteed. Aim of this work is the investigation of the behaviour of the micro-EDM drilling on a pre-hole. In fact, the presence of a pre-hole changes deeply the machining conditions especially in terms of the dielectric flushing. In order to understand how the pre-hole changes the performance of the EDM drilling process, several aspects were investigated: the effects of the diameter of the pre-hole, the behaviour of the type of electrode, the influence of the accuracy of centring operation on the pre-hole and the hole depth. Titanium alloy sheets were used to execute final hole using electrode diameter of 0.3 mm. The process was evaluated considering both the process performance and the accuracy of the machining. The study of the law of electrode motion along its Z axis was also used to gather process information. In general, working with pre-holes yields much better performances than traditional EDM drilling thanks to different level of debris contamination in the machining zone. It was found that increasing the dimension of the pre-hole, the Material Removal Rate undergoes little changes. The electrode type (cylinder or tubular) on the pre-hole does not have evident effects on the process performance but only on the geometrical characteristics. The misalignment of the final hole on the pre-hole can improve the debris flow making the process more efficient but only when a part of the pre-hole lays outside the final hole. Within the limit of this experiments, the hole depth does not affect the presented results.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34573,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100155"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142706113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research delves into evaluating and comparing different properties, including microstructure, surface texture, and mechanical behavior, of resin-based polymer composites fabricated using the DLP 3D printing technology.

In this work, a novel approach is presented to model the equivalent strain distribution in 2D cross-sections, in the direction of the press, of open die forged components using neural networks. The proposed method efficiently combines a parametric sinusoidal function with a neural network to learn the complex relationships between the process parameters and the resulting local strain. The neural network is trained on a dataset of finite element (FE) simulations of rectangular geometries that cover a wide range of aspect ratios, bite ratios, and height reductions. The presented methodology with near real-time prediction capabilities shows good agreement with FE results. Moreover, the parametric function captures the characteristic pattern of the strain distribution and reveals certain physical relationships affecting the deformation of the material.
