In recent years, polymer sheets have been formed by a relatively innovative technology, born for metals and in line with the layered manufacturing principle of rapid prototyping, the incremental sheet forming. This process guarantees high customization and cost-effectiveness but, at the same time, activates some peculiar defects like the twisting phenomenon. To reduce the risk of twisting and the occurrence of failures, it is preferable to reduce the forming forces and one of the solutions is the choice of opportune toolpath strategies. Concerning this, the present experimental research is along the same lines as recent numerical works of the authors; thermoplastic sheets were worked by incremental forming by varying the toolpath strategy. Following the realization of cone frusta, the forming forces and the deformation of the sheets were monitored, to investigate a toolpath strategy capable of reducing the risk of failures and defects for incrementally formed polymer sheets.","PeriodicalId":515987,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Proceedings","volume":"9 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140976420","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 virtualization of sheet metal forming processes requires a precise numerical model with an accurate description of the material behavior that is classically obtained by carrying out quasi-homogeneous mechanical tests. However, several alternatives to this time-consuming task are under study. Heterogeneous tests can provide a large quantity of mechanical information in a single experiment and, therefore, their potential needs to be investigated. This work aims to present an advanced mechanical test designed by topology optimization under experimental investigation. A numerical design methodology is described, leading to a specimen geometry that is subjected experimentally to uniaxial tensile loading up to rupture. A dual-phase DP600 steel is used. During the test, the strain field is extracted from the specimen surface using a stereo digital image correlation system, and the richness of the mechanical information is further analyzed.","PeriodicalId":515987,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Proceedings","volume":"5 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140976747","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}

Nowadays, in order to increase the transport efficiency and reduce fuel consumption and emissions of contaminants, a reduction in weight associated with improved safety performance of the materials in use must be achieved. On the other hand, environmental concern has generated interest in research about new materials aligned with the principles of sustainability. Thus, this need for better performing and ecological structures has resulted in the development of a new variety of materials. Among these materials, currently, are the composites produced from resources of renewable sources. Natural fiber composites have recently attracted a great deal of attention by the industry due to their many attractive benefits (e.g., high strength-to-weight ratio, sustainable characteristics and low cost). Welding is highly impractical to use in these situations (i.e., thermoset polymer composites) and rivets or screws exhibit stress concentrations and offer a low fatigue resistance. Adhesive bonding is usually the preferred method since it allows for greater flexibility in design and is more efficient in mechanical and energy aspects. In this work, recent advances in development, characterization and joining of new sustainable materials, critical challenges and future perspectives are presented. The application of sustainable green composites may further increase in many structural and non-structural applications if their joining behavior is well-known and established.","PeriodicalId":515987,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Proceedings","volume":"123 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140977545","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}

Multi-material skeletal fixators appear to be a promising approach to reduce failure due to the high stiffness of standard-of-care fixators. Nevertheless, joining different materials is challenging due to their different properties. High-velocity impact welding, a solid-state welding process, involves the collision of a “flyer” (moving) part with a stationary “target” at very high speed (i.e., hundreds of meters per second). In this paper we present a preliminary experimental campaign to use laser impact welding to join NiTi and Mg alloy Mg-1.2Zn-0.5Ca-0.5Mn (wt%) sheets and the parallel development of a finite element model to allow gathering further insights into the complex phenomena involved in the process. Preliminary results show the deposition of the Mg alloy on NiTi sheets by tuning the joining process conditions and promising results of the numerical model in terms of accordance with experiments: these findings provide the basis for further process optimization, numerical model calibration and the application of a valid protocol for multi-material skeletal fixation devices.","PeriodicalId":515987,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Proceedings","volume":"120 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140977560","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}

To predict manufacturing effects in the thermoforming process for fiber reinforced plastics the Finite Element Method is widely used. Most macroscopic simulation methods are based on conventional two-dimensional shell elements which are not capable of modeling the material behavior in thickness direction using constitutive equations. At the same time, standard three-dimensional element formulations are not suitable for the forming simulation of thin textiles due to numerical locking phenomena and the lack of a possible membrane-bending-decoupling. Previous studies focused on a specialized solid-shell element formulation which provides anisotropic but purely elastic material modeling. Since purely elastic approaches cannot accurately describe the deformation behavior in the thermoforming process, the provided element formulation is enhanced to rate-dependent viscoelastic material modeling. Numerical studies are carried out that reveal that the membrane-bending-decoupling is preserved for the viscoelastic material model. Virtual coupon tests demonstrate the rate-dependent material behavior in the solid-shell element. The obtained results show that the general approach of the viscoelastic material behavior within the solid-shell element is suitable to address out-of-plane phenomena in thermoforming simulations.","PeriodicalId":515987,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Proceedings","volume":"44 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140975749","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 quality of the surface is one of the most important factors in the fabrication of a component via additive manufacturing (AM). In particular, when considering the manufacture of workpieces in titanium and its alloys the successful use of surface treatments is essential. In fact, many fracture-related events, in particular fatigue cracks, start near the surface of the component. Numerous techniques based on machining, shot peening, or laser polishing have been proposed to enhance the surface quality. The limitations of these treatments stem from the challenges posed by focusing on complex form components. One of the most promising approaches for achieving homogenous smoothing of intricate objects with internal channels and lattice structure continues to be chemical-based surface treatments. It is a pivotal method to remove material that has been polluted by oxygen during processing. In this instance, the resistance to crack initiation and fracture is fundamentally improved by the removal of a hard, brittle top layer. In this work, HF/HNO3-based treatment tailored for 3D printed design products is presented.","PeriodicalId":515987,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Proceedings","volume":"7 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140974431","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}
