The COVID-19 pandemic created huge demand of relevant medical and personal protective equipment (PPE) and put unprecedented pressure on the healthcare system within a very short span of time. Moreover, the supply chains system faced extreme disruptions as a result of the frequent and severe lockdowns across the globe. In this situation, additive manufacturing (AM) becomes a supplementary manufacturing process to meet the explosive demands and ease the health disaster worldwide.

PhD vacancy (4 years) on topology optimization of large 3D printed structures with functionally graded materials

3D printing

Arc welding based additive manufacturing or WAAM techniques are attracting interest from the manufacturing industry because of their potential to fabricate large metal components with low cost and short production lead time. This process exists alongside other high deposition rate metal AM technologies such as powder and wire based DED. While these use either laser or an electron beam as energy source to melt a metal powder or wire, WAAM technologies melt metal wire using an electric arc.

Nonlinear Mechanics of Thermoelastic Accretion

Submitted by arash_yavari on Fri, 03/20/2020 - 15:52

additive manufacturing

In this paper, we formulate a theory for the coupling of accretion mechanics and thermoelasticity. We present an analytical formulation of the thermoelastic accretion of an infinite cylinder and of a two-dimensional block.
