Abstract A two‐step machine learning approach to monitoring laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing is demonstrated that enables on‐the‐fly assessments of track welds. First, in situ video melt pool data acquired during LPBF labeled according the (1) average and (2) standard deviation individual width also (3) whether or not continuous, measured postbuild through an ex height map analysis algorithm.

Abstract Lattices remain an attractive class of structures due to their design versatility; however, rapidly designing lattice with tailored or optimal mechanical properties remains a significant challenge. With each added variable, the space quickly becomes intractable. To address this challenge, research efforts have sought combine computational approaches machine learning (ML)-based reduce cost process and accelerate design. While these made substantial progress, challenges in (1)...

We evaluate the accuracy of local-density approximations (LDAs) using explicit molecular dynamics simulations binary electrolytes comprised equisized ions in an implicit solvent. The Bikerman LDA, which considers to occupy a lattice, poorly captures excluded volume interactions between primitive model ions. Instead, LDAs based on Carnahan–Starling (CS) hard-sphere equation state capture simulated values ideal and excess chemical potential profiles extremely well, as well relationship surface...

Abstract In droplet-on-demand liquid metal jetting (DoD-LMJ) additive manufacturing, complex physical interactions govern the droplet characteristics, such as size, velocity, and shape. These in turn, determine functional quality of printed parts. Hence, to ensure repeatable reliable part it is necessary monitor control characteristics. Existing approaches for in-situ monitoring behavior DoD-LMJ rely on high-speed imaging sensors. The resulting high volume images acquired computationally...

Platinum electrodes are critical components in many biomedical devices, an important example being implantable neural stimulation or recording electrodes. However, upon implantation, scar tissue forms around the electrode surface, causing unwanted deterioration of electrical contact. We demonstrate that sub-monolayer coatings platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) applied to 3D by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) can enhance electrode's active surface area and significantly lower its impedance.

We derive a self-similarity criterion that must hold if planar electric double layer (EDL) can be captured by local-density approximation (LDA), without specifying any specific LDA. Our procedure generates similarity coordinate from EDL profiles (measured or computed), and all LDA for given electrolyte collapse onto master curve when plotted against this coordinate. Noncollapsing imply the inability of theory to capture EDLs in electrolyte. demonstrate our approach with molecular...
