Abstract Designing reliable electronic devices depends heavily on the reliability of solder joints. However, due to ongoing advancement novel lead-free materials, assessing their for various applications, particularly in extreme conditions, often involves costly and time-consuming tests. Multiple factors, including board, package, assembly parameters, material properties, process all affect Leveraging available test data as well simulated data, an interpretable data-driven framework is...

Abstract Amidst labor shortages, increasing land prices, and other aspects of the post‐pandemic world, our logistics chain must consider new technological alternatives. Automated material handling equipment often requires valuable floor space specialized layouts. Uncrewed aerial vehicles, popularly called drones, offer a flexible cost‐effective alternative. To explore potential benefits challenges such systems, we used version multi‐trip vehicle routing problem with time windows to model two...

Abstract Surface roughness of additively manufactured metal parts has significant impacts on the part’s performance (e.g., fatigue resistance) and poses a roadblock to wider adoption additive manufacturing. This work aims show that, in some cases, it is possible estimate depth deepest valley an part with relatively high accuracy using either only line measurements from contact profilometer (and limited areal scans used for calibration) or optical scanners considerably smaller area same...

Powder flowability plays a significant role in powder layering for laser beam bed fusion (LB-PBF), which could affect the quality of LB-PBF-fabricated parts. This study aims to investigate impact features on Inconel 718 powder. features, such as size, shape, and other important were extracted from 11 samples. With physics-based understanding correlation analysis, seven selected 133 original analysis prediction using machine learning methods. Specifically, least absolute shrinkage selection...

Lead free piezoelectric materials are being intensively investigated in order to substitute lead based ones, commonly used many different applications. Among the most promising lead-free those with modified NaNbO₃, such as (K, Na)NbO₃ (KNN) and (Ba, Na)(Ti, Nb)O₃ (BTNN) families. From a ceramic processing point of view, high density single phase KNN BTNN ceramics very difficult sinter due volatility alkaline elements, narrow sintering temperature range anomalous grain growth. In this work,...

Truck-drone delivery systems have been proposed for sustainable and economical last-mile distribution, especially in urban environments. To widen the service range, some works recommended adding facilities such as drone stations, considering problem discrete space by choosing from a pre-defined set. In this paper, an evolutionary optimization approach to design decision of where locate stations continuous plane is introduced, modeled, solved. Drone serve storage, charging, launching. A truck...

The Vacuum-Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) process has gained popularity as a reliable and cost-effective alternative to autoclave molding for high-performance composite production, which is especially interesting aeronautics, where weight reduction crucial. However, date, the environmental impact of components produced through VARTM remains relatively unknown. To address this gap, study applied Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology estimate thermoset laminate heated VARTM. Aiming...
