Abstract: Based on existing methods used in evaluating the vertical bearing capacity of piles, hyperbola model was adopted to describe pile shaft resistance in consideration of the nonlinear behavior of load transfer along pile ...

Abstract: Due to the nature of additive manufacturing (AM), design and manufacturing are deeply coupled. Toolpaths are defined based on the part geometry, and in turn, these toolpaths can influence the bonding between adjacent ...

Abstract: Composed of individual unit cells strategically arranged to achieve a desired function, lattices are a promising solution for laser powder bed fusion support structure design in additive manufacturing. Despite their many ...

Abstract: The structural design and additive manufacturing (AM) of cross-flow heat exchangers (HXs) are studied. A unit-based design framework is proposed to optimize the channel configuration in order to improve the heat exchange ...

Abstract: When designed effectively, support structures play a critical role in quickly dissipating heat and mitigate part distortion without driving up excessive costs within the additive manufacturing metals technique of Laser ...
