Moreover, uncontrolled parameters such as printing temperature and printing speed have been reported to adversely affect 3D-print quality leading to undesired effects such as distortion and warpage. The additive manufacturing process is a relatively new field in advanced manufacturing where further research and innovation are required to overcome the limited strength and structural performance observed in presently 3D-printed components. In line with the above, this study proposes the numerical investigation of the warping behavior in PLA (Polylactic acid) - based 3D printed models by considering the finite element method (FEM) software of LS-DYNA. The warping investigation was specifically centered on the cooling cycle prevailing between the layer-by-layer structures. The findings of this study showed that warpage would most likely occur in the thermal process model corresponding to abrupt change in temperature due to a buildup of strain between the bottom most layers of the 3D model and the build plate. The findings of this study, which shed light on the warping behaviour in 3D-models, has direct implications on the final quality of 3D-printed components.","PeriodicalId":495260,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Manufacturing Research","volume":"2 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140706506","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}

It has an advantage in the fact that by choosing geometrical parameters of the manipulator it is possible to achieve its effective operation. This is presented by using analytical and graphical methods. The performed research shows that manipulators with vibration impact drives have some positive qualities. In their structure it is not necessary to include the self-stopping mechanism. In the conservative case of the system static position of equilibrium of the impact pair can be with negative, zero or positive tightening. In the case of zero tightening eigenfrequency and period of the system does not depend on the quantity of motion of impact excitation. In the case of harmonic forced excitation resonant motions take place in the vicinity of the eigenfrequency of the conservative system with zero tightening. Analytical – numerical calculations contribute to the creation of manipulators and robots with vibration impact drives.","PeriodicalId":495260,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Manufacturing Research","volume":"53 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140235296","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 results show that the mold depth has the greatest influence on the key dimensional parameters of riveted joints, followed by the punching speed, and then the punch diameter, while the punch diameter and the mold depth are the two factors with the most obvious interaction. The optimum riveted joint process parameters determined are punch diameter of 5.24 mm, die depth of 1.44 mm, and stamping speed of 5.00 mm/s. The corresponding relative errors predicted by numerical simulation and response surface optimization objective are 5.96 % for neck thickness, 3.29 % for interlocking value, and 1.37 % for bottom thickness; and the relative errors predicted by experimental results and optimization objective are 13.42 % for neck thickness, 13.42 % for interlocking value, and 1.37 % for bottom thickness. 13.42 %, interlock value is 4.23 %, and bottom thickness is 2.23 %, the model accuracy is high, and the optimization method of response surface test can effectively improve the quality of riveted joints. Through numerical simulation, the metal flow law and stress distribution during the riveting and forming process of aluminum alloy plate were analyzed, and the strength test of riveted joint was carried out, and the maximum destructive shear load of the joint was 1.8 KN, and the strength of the joint was improved, which verified the validity of the response surface optimization method.","PeriodicalId":495260,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Manufacturing Research","volume":"28 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135774445","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}
