Efficient Spatial and Temporal Modelling of Material Temperatures within Self-reinforced Polypropylene Sheets during IR Radiation
(2013-07-20)
Polymer composites of self-reinforced fibres and a matrix composed of the same plastic material display an outstanding mechanical performance and an excellent recyclability. Hence, these materials are suitable for many practical applications. One disadvantage, however, is the narrow processing window that is caused by a strong pressure and temperature sensitivity of the self-reinforced fibres. In this paper, an approach to efficiently model the spatial and temporal temperature evolution is presented. Advanced empirical ...

Optimization of thermomechanical processes for the functional gradation of polymers by means of advanced empirical modeling techniques
(2015-02-17)
In this paper, an optimization procedure for complex manufacturing processes is presented. The procedure is based on advanced empirical modeling techniques and will be presented in two parts. The first part comprises the selection and generation of the empirical surrogate models. The process organization and the design of experiments are taken into account. In order to analyze and optimize the processes based on the empirical models, advanced methods and tools are presented in the second part. These tools include ...

Optimal energy supply structures for industrial food processing sites in different countries considering energy transitions
(2017-05-10)
This study focuses on analysing the most energy efficient utility system supply structure in terms of carbon emissions, primary energy efficiency and energy costs. In the German food processing industry, the state-of-the-art technologies in the utility supply structure are a gas fired steam boiler for steam generation and ammonia chillers for chilled water generation. Low investment costs and its durability are attractive for industrial production sites. But, given the ongoing energy transition to renewable energy, ...

Morphology-property-relationship of thermo-mechanically graded self-reinforced polypropylene composites
(2015-02-17)
In this paper the relationship between different composite morphologies and their mechanical properties is to be investigated. By manufacturing two different tape-based polypropylene composites in a compression moulding process, four varying degrees of compaction will be generated. The morphological structure is analyzed using confocal laser light microscopy and wet chemically etched specimen cross-sections. The etching process removes the amorphous phase in the polymer, making the macromolecular orientations and ...

A framework for the computer-aided planning and optimisation of manufacturing processes for components with functional graded properties
(2015-02-17)
In this contribution a framework for the computer-aided planning and optimisation of functional graded components is presented. The framework is divided into three modules - the "Component Description", the "Expert System" for the synthetisation of several process chains and the "Modelling and Process Chain Optimisation". The Component Description module enhances a standard computer-aided design (CAD) model by a voxel-based representation of the graded properties. The Expert System synthesises process steps stored ...

Sektorkopplung Prozesswärme / Strom in der deutschen Industrie
(2018)
Sektorkopplung bedeutet die Verbindung des Elektrizitäts- mit dem Wärme- und Mobilitätssektor. Während der Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien (EE) im Strombereich erhebliche Fortschritte, bis zu einem Anteil von über 30 %, erzielt hat, ist im Wärme- (ca. 13 %) und Mobilitätssektor (ca. 5,1 %) der Anteil in den letzten zehn Jahren fast konstant geblieben. Die Elektrifizierung dieser Anwendungsbereiche soll den Anteil an erneuerbarer Energie erhöhen und somit zu einer Reduzierung von Treibhausgasen beitragen. Abbildung ...

Effect of Post-Process Machining on Surface Properties of Additively Manufactured H13 Tool Steel
(2018-08-28)
Der Werkzeugstahl AISI H13 zeichnet sich durch einen hohen Verschleißwiderstand und eine gute Temperaturwechselbeständigkeit aus. Hauptanwendungsbereiche des H13 sind Druckguss- und Schmiedewerkzeuge. Die Verarbeitung von H13 durch additive Fertigungsverfahren, wie z. B. dem selektiven Laserschmelzen (selective laser melting, SLM), eröffnet neue Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten, wie z. B. die Integration interner Kühlkanäle, die es erlauben, das Einsatzverhalten der Werkzeuge zu verbessern. Aufgrund hoher Oberflächenrauheiten ...

Innovative Materials for Novel Concepts for Internal Heat Exchangers
(2018-07-27)
Internal heat exchangers are often employed in solar thermal applications as well as in many other applications that involve heat, and, for the most part, consist of metallic materials (copper, stainless steel). Corrugated stainless steel tubes are easy to assemble, and are commonly used in various storage geometries. In order to significantly reduce costs, alternative materials, such as plastics, can function as excellent substitutes. Alternative heat exchangers for the following examinations using various materials ...

The Manufacture of Hot-Compacted Layered Composite Systems Made of Oriented Semifinished PP-Films
(2014-03-04)
Monoaxial stretched PP-films are used for the manufacture of hot-compacted layered composites. These are layered with stretched co-extruded coupling agent films, and are consolidated to laminates by means of a hot-compaction process, which employs pressure and temperature. This paper aims to examine the influence of the process settings on the properties of the composites during the hot-compaction process. For this purpose, the mechanical values will be determined by means of tensile testing variously compacted and ...

Energy Resolved Residual Stress Analysis with Laboratory X-Ray Sources
(2017-04-17)
It is well known that existing residual stress fields play an important role for strength and lifetime of components. Consequently there is a great interest in the availability of fast, reliable and possibly nondestructive methods for their determination. In this context, X-ray diffraction methods play an important role in technical practice as well as in scientific research. They are based on the determination of lattice strains from which residual stresses are determined applying Hooke's law with appropriate elastic ...
