We present molecular dynamics simulations of monolayer graphene under uniaxial tensile loading. The Morse, bending angle, torsion and Lennard-Jones potential functions are adopted within the mdFOAM library in OpenFOAM software, to describe interactions graphene. A well-validated model using these set potentials is not yet available. In this work, we investigate accuracy mechanical properties when derived simpler potentials, compared more commonly used complex such as Tersoff-Brenner AIREBO...
The use of additively manufactured components specifically utilizing titanium alloys has seen rapid growth particularly in aerospace applications; however, the propensity for retained porosity, high(er) roughness finish, and detrimental tensile surface residual stresses are still a limiting factor curbing its expansion to other sectors such as maritime. main aim this investigation is determine effect duplex treatment, consisting shot peening (SP) coating deposited by physical vapor...
Abstract Manufacturing process selection presents numerous challenges to designers, including product complexity, consideration of production volumes and part tolerances. This paper introduces a design support tool based on the axiomatic model systematically transform requirements into functions technological capabilities. The results from an evaluation implemented prototype in field medical device demonstrates its usefulness selecting most suitable candidate manufacturing for given...
The properties of cold-worked Fe-13Mn-1.2C steel, as candidate material for scaffolding and stenting applications, have been investigated. study the electrochemical corrosion susceptibility alloy in protein bearing non-protein physiological solutions, revealed that there were no differences between as-received, 10% 20% cold worked samples. Although addition reduces overall rate static immersion degradation tests both non-cold alloys, discernible rates samples with different percentages work...
This research studies the individual and combined effects of mechanical shot peening deposition TiAlCuN coating on additively manufactured 316L stainless steel. Shot has been found to induce a 40% increase in surface hardness, while effect produced an approximately three-fold hardness when compared as-printed coupons. reduced roughness printed metal coupons by 50%, showing that can also serve improve finish steel components. The process was compressive residual stress 589 MPa, with maximum...
