Abstract: In the present paper, we are describing a methodology for the determination of the complete set of parameters associated with the WeierstrassMandelbrot (WM) function that can describe a fractal scalar field distribution ...

Abstract: The precise control of mass and energy deposition associated with additive manufacturing (AM) processes enables the topological specification and realization of how space can be filled by material in multiple scales. ...

Abstract: Technologies for material defect detection/metrology are often based on measuring the interactions between defects and waves. These interactions frequently create artifacts that skew the quantitative character of the ...

Abstract: A multiphysics computational framework is introduced and exercised to predict the wear behavior of two deformable, heat-conducting bodies under conditions of sliding contact. This framework enables the solution of a coupled ...

Abstract: The presence of damage in the adhesive material as well as combined environmental excitation in multi-material adhesive step-lap joints (ASLJs) often encountered in aircraft industries are frequently neglected. Historically, ...

Abstract: The advent of additive manufacturing (AM) has enabled the prototyping of periodic and non-periodic metamaterials (a.k.a. lattice or cellular structures) that could be deployed in a variety of engineering applications where ...

Abstract: The present work describes the early steps in creating a digital twin to predict aging for multi-material adhesive step lap joints (ASLJs), considering simultaneous mechanical and environmental influences. It begins by ...

Abstract: In order to account and compensate for the dissipative processes contributing to the aging of cathodic surfaces protected by impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems, it is necessary to develop the proper ...

Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the fabrication of objects using successive additions of mass and energy. In this paper, we explore the use of analytic solutions to model the thermal aspects of AM, in an effort to ...
