A monolithic approach toward coupled electrodynamic–thermomechanical problems with regard to weak formulations
(2021-11-11)
Weak formulations of boundary value problems are the basis of various numerical discretization schemes. They are classically derived applying the method of weighted residuals or a variational principle. For electrodynamical and caloric problems, variational approaches are not straightforwardly obtained from physical principles like in mechanics. Weak formulations of Maxwell’s equations and of energy or charge balances thus are frequently derived from the method of weighted residuals or tailored variational approaches. ...

Investigating Motivational and Cognitive Factors which Impact the Success of Engineering Students
(2021-02-06)
Engineering students particularly struggle with mathematics in the first year of their university studies. A result of these difficulties are high drop-out rates among the engineering students. There are various measures to support the students in their studies such as preparatory courses or bridging courses. The contribution of this research is to investigate the impact of certain factors on engineering students’ success in their first year of studies in a supportive environment which includes a preparatory course, ...

High-Speed Laser Cladding on Thin-Sheet-Substrates—Influence of Process Parameters on Clad Geometry and Dilution
(2021-08-09)
Laser-based Directed Energy Deposition (DED-LB) represents a production method of growing importance for cladding and additive manufacturing through the use of metal powders. Yet, most studies utilize substrate materials with thicknesses of multiple millimeters, for which laser cladding of thin-sheet substrates with thicknesses less than 1 mm have only been scarcely studied in the literature. Most studies cover the use of pulsed laser sources, since sheet distortion due to excess energy input is a key problem in laser ...

Effect of Crystallographic Orientation and Grain Boundaries on Martensitic Transformation and Superelastic Response of Oligocrystalline Fe–Mn–Al–Ni Shape Memory Alloys
(2021-07-26)
In situ tensile tests employing digital image correlation were conducted to study the martensitic transformation of oligocrystalline Fe–Mn–Al–Ni shape memory alloys in depth. The influence of different grain orientations, i.e., near-〈001〉 and near-〈101〉, as well as the influence of different grain boundary misorientations are in focus of the present work. The results reveal that the reversibility of the martensite strongly depends on the type of martensitic evolving, i.e., twinned or detwinned. Furthermore, it is ...

Extension of Gap Bridgeability and Prevention of Oxide Lines in the Welding Seam through Application of Tools with Multi-Welding Pins
(2021-07-30)
Friction stir welding has become important in many areas of production and is increasingly used for joining aluminum components. For long welding seams, conventional tools with only one welding pin reach their technical limitations due to low gap bridgeability. When welding aluminum, the stirred in surface layers, such as oxides, lead to a decrease in static and dynamic strength since linear accumulations are formed in the welding seam. The aim of the present study is to increase the gap bridgeability using tools ...

On the appearance of horseshoe chaos in a nonlinear hysteretic systems with negative stiffness
(2021-09-16)
The problem of inhibition of horseshoe chaos in a nonlinear hysteretic systems using negative stiffness is investigated in this paper. The Bouc–Wen model is used to describe the force produced by both the purely hysteretic and linear elastic springs. The analytical investigation of the Hamiltonian shows that the appearance of separatrix in the system is directly related to the parameters of the hysteretic forces. This means that the transverse intersection between the perturbed and unperturbed separatrix can be ...

Influence of Microstructure and Defects on Mechanical Properties of AISI H13 Manufactured by Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion
(2021-08-04)
Electron beam powder bed fusion (E-PBF) is a well-known additive manufacturing process. Components are realized based on layer-by-layer melting of metal powder. Due to the high degree of design freedom, additive manufacturing came into focus of tooling industry, especially for tools with sophisticated internal cooling channels. The present work focuses on the relationships between processing, microstructure evolution, chemical composition and mechanical properties of a high alloyed tool steel AISI H13 (1.2344, ...

Hot Work Tool Steel Processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion: A Review on Most Relevant Influencing Factors
(2021-03-26)
As a representative of a common carbon-bearing hot work tool steel AISI H13 is in focus of the present review paper. Most relevant details for processing of AISI H13 by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) are systematically investigated. Three common stages of process parameter development and material assessment, respectively, are in focus: general processibility, process refinement, and deduction of process–microstructure–property relations, i.e., understanding of the interplay of relevant elementary mechanisms. On the ...

Exploiting ferroelectric and ferroelastic effects in piezoelectric energy harvesting: theoretical studies and parameter optimization
(2021-02-18)
While piezoelectric energy harvesting typically focuses on converting mechanical into electrical energy on the basis of the linear reversible piezoelectric effect, the potential of exploiting the non-linear ferroelectric effect is investigated theoretically in this paper. Due to its dissipative nature, domain switching, on the one hand, is basically avoided in order to prevent mechanical energy from being converted into heat. However, the electrical output, on the other hand, is augmented due to the increased change ...

Simultaneous impact modified and chain extended glass fiber reinforced poly(lactic acid) composites: Mechanical, thermal, crystallization, and dynamic mechanical performance
(2021-02-05)
Herein, glass fiber (GF) reinforced binary, ternary, and quaternary poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites were prepared. Toughening, and chain extension of PLA was achieved through the incorporation of impact modifier and chain extender and their concurrent effects on the spectroscopic, crystallization, mechanical, thermal, and thermomechanical properties of the composites were investigated. High mechanical properties of GF influenced the mechanical performance of the composites. However, GF alone could not restrict the ...
