Microfluidics Based 3D Printed Reconfigurable Antenna for K-Band Applications
(2023)
In dieser Arbeit werden neuartige mikrofluid-basierte, rekonfigurierbare Antennen für Mikrowellen-Anwendungen vorgestellt. Ebenfalls vorgestellt wird eine kosteneffektive Methode zur ultra-breitbandigen Erhöhung (definiert als Bandbreite von 20% oder höher als die zentrale Frequenz) des Antennengewinns basierend auf dielektrischen Linsen. Zunächst wird dabei ein fest-verdrahtetes Design entwickelt. Diese Antenne verwendet kapazitive Lasten, um die -10 dB Bandbreite um den Faktor 2.5 (+150%) zu erhöhen. Die vorgeschlagene ...

Process optimisation and non-destructive quality attributes monitoring during drying: A case study of celeriac slices and characterisation of its powder
(2023)
This study investigated strategies applied in drying technology to produce an optimised quality of plant-sourced food while considering environmental and sustainability aspects based on a case study of celeriac and powder, respectively. The I-optimal design of response surface methodology with 30 experiment runs was applied for process optimisation. Pre-drying treatments (blanching at 85 °C, 3 min; dipping in 1% citric acid solution, 3 min; no pre-drying treatment), drying temperatures (50, 60, and 70 °C), air ...

A comparative study using water atomized and gas atomized powder in laser powder bed fusion process – Assessment of the fatigue performance
(2022)
Gas-atomized (GA, spherical) and water-atomized (WA, spattered) commercially pure iron (cp-Fe) powders were processed using laser-based powder bed fusion, resulting in a slightly higher porosity of the WA condition. In addition to characterization of quasi-static mechanical properties, fatigue tests, which are known to be detrimentally affected by porosity, were finally considered, revealing good properties even for the WA condition. In terms of microstructure stability, the GA and WA specimens significantly differ; ...

Parameter recommendation for injection molding based on similarity analysis of injection molded parts
(2023)
Injection molding is a widespread manufacturing process for producing complex plastic shapes. The process is controlled by a large number of parameters, which show interactions with each other. Thereby the determination of an optimal operating point during sampling is a resource-consuming and demanding task. The data, which is generated during sampling, is usually not used for subsequent sampling processes. In the context of Industry 4.0, manufacturing companies attempt to optimize production efficiency to save time ...

Baumwolle als Faserverstärkung
(2023)
Jedes Jahr landen große Mengen Textilen auf Deponien oder in der thermischen Verwertung. Ein Teil dieser Abfälle könnte allerdings auch als Rohstoffe für Verbundwerkstoffe dienen. Baumwollfasern eignen sich etwa als Verstärkungsfasern, die die mechanischen Eigenschaften von biobasierten Kunststoffen steigern. Durch die Nutzung solcher Abfallströme können in Zukunft kostengünstig und biobasiert Materialien verstärkt werden.

Textile Waste Becomes Plastic Composites
(2023-09)
Every year, large quantities of textiles end up in landfills or in thermal recycling. However, some of this waste could also serve as raw materials for composite materials. Left-over cotton fibers of the textile industry, for example, are suitable as reinforcing fibers that enhance the mechanical properties of bio-based plastics. By using such waste streams, materials can be reinforced in a cost-effective and bio-based way in the future.

Beam powder bed fusion for direct microstructure design – In-depth analysis of prospects and limitations of the multi spot scanning strategy
(2023)
The electron beam powder bed fusion process generally results in a strong 〈001〉 texture alongside the build direction for Inconel 718. This is a result of prevailing high thermal gradients between the melted surface and the solid material. However, based on specific beam movement patterns, the solidification behaviour can be altered towards an equiaxed, isotropic microstructure. The present study focuses on the “multi spot scanning” strategy directly provided by the machine manufacturer. The operation mode of the ...
