Analysis and Method Selection of a Measure-Correlate-Predict Methodology for a Digital Wind Buoy
(2022)
The determination of the site-specific wind conditions has a significant influence on the development and use of offshore wind energy. Lower uncertainties of wind potential result in cost-effective project financing. Floating lidar systems (FLS) or wind lidar buoys have become increasingly common in recent years as a measuring technology for the determination of offshore wind resource. However, due to harsh offshore environmental conditions, offshore measurements with FLS are prone to reliability issues which might ...

A Novel Thermo-Mechanical Processing Route Exploiting Abnormal Grain Growth in Heusler-Type Co–Ni–Ga Shape Memory Alloys
(2022-10-04)
Heusler-type Co–Ni–Ga shape memory alloys attracted significant scientific attention owing to excellent superelasticity in single-crystalline state. However, due to pronounced anisotropy, polycrystalline Co–Ni–Ga suffers from transformation-induced constraints at grain boundaries and, thus, premature failure upon thermo-mechanical loading. The present study reports on a novel thermo-mechanical processing route. Hot rolling followed by solution-annealing promotes abnormal grain growth, eventually leading to high-performance ...

Cooling rate as a process parameter in advanced roll forming to tailor microstructure,mechanical and corrosion properties of EN AW 7075 tubes
(2022-12-14)
The effects of solution heat treatment parameters and quench media as a processing tool for tailoring microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties in roll forming of EN AW 7075 alloy were studied. The highest yield stress and ultimate tensile strength were obtained for the specimens quenched in water, while the air-cooled specimens exhibited inferior mechanical properties. Microstructural analysis of specimens showed that except water-quenched specimens, the parts cooled/quenched in oil, in direct contact with ...

On the Friction Stir Processing of Additive-Manufactured 316L Stainless Steel
(2022)
The novel combination of friction stir processing (FSP) and additive manufacturing (AM) is studied herein. Laser-based powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) is used to establish 316 L stainless steel with a bimodal microstructure. Upon FSP, the as-built bimodal microstructure with an average grain size of 179 μm is transformed into the unimodal microstructure containing ultrafine grains with an average grain size of 1.2 μm. Results obtained by mechanical testing reveal that after FSP; the hardness, the yield point, ...

Oxide Modified Iron in Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion - From Processability to Corrosion Properties
(2022-03-07)
Additive manufacturing (AM) processes are not solely used where maximum design freedom meets low lot sizes. Direct microstructure design and topology optimization can be realized concomitantly during processing by adjusting the geometry, the material composition, and the solidification behavior of the material considered. However, when complex specific requirements have to be met, a targeted part design is highly challenging. In the field of biodegradable implant surgery, a cytocompatible material of an application-adapted ...

Effects of blending poly(lactic acid) and thermoplastic polyester polyurethanes on the mechanical and adhesive properties in two-component injection molding
(2022-09-16)
One possible way to increase the use of bioplastics and thus contribute to a more resource-efficient and sustainable economy is to broaden the application range of such bioplastics. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a promising and commercially available bio-based and biologically degradable polymer, which exhibits a high strength and stiffness but is very brittle. Blending with other polymers can lead to an enhancement of the ductility of the PLA. The goal of this work was to show that blending of PLA with a bio-based ...

Exploring risk and sustainability performance in base of the pyramid supply chains
(2022-07)
In the contemporary business world, the real competition is not among individual businesses but rather between supply chains. Companies, which are part of efficient supply chains, are considered destined to outperform their competitors being part of inefficient supply chains. Moreover, performance has been a matter of concern for researchers for decades and is the primary aim of any firm’s existence. The definition of performance includes the performance measurement (PM) concept and further supports the notion that ...

Values as leverage points for sustainability transformation: two pathways for transformation research
(2022-08-13)
The burgeoning literature on sustainability transformation agrees that values play a key, albeit unelucidated, role on the transformation research agenda. Recent literature linking values and transformation increasingly points toward the hypothesis that values may act as leverage points for sustainability transformation. However, how transformation research can engage with values as leverage points remains a critical knowledge gap. Here, I argue that transformation research needs to distinguish between two modes of ...
