增材制造八角桁架点阵结构材料的力学行为

基于激光选区熔化增材制造技术(SLM), 以GP1不锈钢为母材, 制备4种相对密度的八角桁架点阵结构试样, 开展了准静态单轴压缩和直接撞击式霍普金森压杆实验, 并结合显式有限元计算模拟, 研究了相对密度和加载速率对八角桁架点阵结构试样在力学响应、变形模式和吸能特性的影响. 结果显示: (1)相对密度是影响八角桁架点阵结构材料力学响应的关键参数, 屈服载荷随着相对密度基本呈线性增长, 并且表现出明显的应变率强化效应; (2)在准静态压缩下, 随着相对密度增大, 八角桁架点阵结构的变形模式由弯扭屈曲模式逐渐向稳定屈服模式转变; 而在冲击压缩下, 八角桁架点阵结构的变形模式随着冲击速度由对称稳定变形模式向非对称逐渐压垮模式转变; (3)八角桁架点阵结构总吸能随着相对密度线性增大, 而比吸能随着相对密度呈现双线性变化, 在相对密度30%处出现拐折, 当相对密度高于30%后, 比吸能增大缓慢; (4)与准静态加载相比, 冲击加载下八角桁架点阵结构的总吸能和比吸能都显著提升.     

Ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation of selectively laser-sintered polymeric nanocomposites

Ultrasonic testing as a non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technique is newly introduced to characterize additively manufactured composite materials to identify their anisotropic mechanical properties, being especially facile, useful and accurate approach for dimensional dependent measurement. In this study, the immersion ultrasonic technique is employed to measure the energy loss of ultrasonic elastic waves, and wave propagation speed in the laser-sintered nanocomposite of carbon nanotube reinforced polyamine 12. The relationship of process-structure-property is revealed to establish the correlations between process parameters and energy loss of ultrasound, as well as mechanical moduli. The orientation-dependent wave attenuation and mechanical moduli of nanocomposites along three orthogonal directions are strongly associated with the layer-by-layer fusion induced microstructures and internal imperfections. This technique is capable of quantifying orientation-dependent mechanical properties such as moduli and attenuation without compromising additively manufactured parts, showing a high potential of quality control and safety inspection in end-use applications.     

Measurement of the in-plane temperature field on the build plate during polymer extrusion additive manufacturing using infrared thermometry

The process of filament-to-filament adhesion during polymer extrusion additive manufacturing (AM) is critically influenced by temperature distribution around the filament. Direct measurement of temperature distribution around the filament being deposited is, therefore, important for fully understanding this critical process. While past papers have reported side-view (x-z) temperature measurement using infrared (IR) thermography, this paper presents measurement of the in-plane (x-y) temperature field on the build plate during printing of the first layer by infrared thermography. This measurement is carried out from under the build plate. A small part of the build plate is replaced by an infrared-transparent window. In conjunction with an infrared right-angle prism mirror positioned underneath, direct measurement of in-plane temperature distribution is carried out with an infrared camera. With a thin graphite coating on the build plate, in-plane temperature field on the build plate is obtained, whereas experiments without the graphite coating result in direct measurement of the filament temperature distribution. Bottom-view measurements are shown to agree well with side-view measurements. Temperature fields on the build plate are measured as functions of time for single-line and multi-line printing. A few key features revealed by measurements include symmetrical and asymmetrical temperature distributions for single and multi-line printing, respectively, and the thermal influence between lines being limited only to the adjacent line. The in-plane temperature measurement approach complements past side-view measurements, and improves upon our understanding of thermal phenomena during polymer AM.     

New Promises and Opportunities in 3D Printable Inks Based on Coordination Compounds for the Creation of Objects with Multiple Applications

This review focuses on the usefulness of coordination bonds to create 3D printable inks and shows how the union of chemistry and 3D technology contributes to new scientific advances, by allowing amorphous or polycrystalline solids to be transformed into objects with the desired shape for successful applications. The review clearly shows how there has been considerable increase in the manufacture of objects based on the combination of organic matrices and coordination compounds. These coordination compounds are usually homogeneously dispersed within the matrix, anchored onto a proper support or coating the printed object, without destroying their unique properties. Advances are so rapid that today it is already possible to 3D print objects made exclusively from coordination compounds without additives. The new printable inks are made mainly with nanoscale nonporous coordination polymers, metal–organic gels, or metal–organic frameworks. The highly dynamic coordination bond allows the creation of objects, which respond to stimuli, that can act as sensors and be used for drug delivery. In addition, the combination of metal–organic frameworks with 3D printing allows the adsorption or selective capacity of the object to be increased, relative to that of the original compound, which is useful in energy storage, gas separation, or water pollutant elimination. Furthermore, the presence of the metal ion can give them new properties, such as luminescence, that are useful for application in sensors or anticounterfeiting. Technological advances, the combination of various printing techniques, and the properties of coordination bonds lead to the creation of surprising, new, printable inks and objects with highly complex shapes that will close the gap between academia and industry for research into coordination compounds.     

Compliance with GLP standards and management in analytical laboratories: current status

 Analytical laboratories in Japan, operating more often as departments within a company than as independent contractors, have to contend with different good laboratory practice (GLP) standards. Problems also occur in the analytical laboratories which must comply with GLP, good manufacturing practice (GMP) and good clinical practice (GCP) regulations within the same facility. The status of these GLP-complied analytical laboratories is reviewed with regard to assurance program, validation method, laboratory information management, and security systems. The differences in the responsible authorities and scopes under the six GLPs are also briefly described. Analytical tests in GLP are not itemized as a test for accreditation. Therefore, the accreditation of analytical laboratories in Japan is currently granted as a part of ISO 9000 approvals. Received: 27 September 1996 Accepted: 11 November 1996     

An evaluation of value based dispatching rules in a flow shop

Although investment in inventory has been of primary concern in job shops, little attention has been paid to using value-based dispatching rules in an effort to attain satisfactory on-time performance while reducing inventory investment. This paper compares performance based on both time and value measures of three usual time-based rules with six rules which directly incorporate value information in setting priorities. The results indicate that the value-based rules perform their intended function quite well with only slight sacrifice in on-time performance in light to moderately loaded shops. In addition, some of these values rules outperform the best time-based rules on both dimensions in heavily loaded shops.     

A large scale machine loading problem in flexible assembly

Flexible manufacturing is characterized by versatile work stations with minimum change over times and a versatile material handling system. The loading problem in flexible manufacturing is to assign tools, material, operations and jobs to work stations in order to minimize the total number of job-to-work station assignments. In this paper, we describe a special case of the general loading problem applied to flexible assembly and develop a discrete optimization model. We then discuss approaches for obtaining good heuristic solutions and present results for a large scale study.     

Protective inventories and bottlenecks in production systems

In this paper we study the allocation of safety stocks and safety times in multi-echelon production systems. We concentrate on the impact of demand uncertainty on the amount of safety stocks in the presence of capacity constraints. We describe how this problem can be viewed as a Markovian Decision Process. The form of the optimal policies is discussed and illustrated with examples.     

Latent variable modelling of price‐change in 295 manufacturing industries

In contrast to traditional regression analysis, latent variable modelling (LVM) can explicitly differentiate between measurement errors and other random disturbances in the specification and estimation of econometric models. This paper argues that LVM could be a promising approach to test economic theories because applied research in business and economics is based on statistical information, which is frequently inaccurately measured. Considering the theory of industry‐price determination, where the price variables involved are known to include a large measurement error, a latent variable, structural‐equations model is constructed and applied to data on 7381 product categories classified into 295 manufacturing industries of the USA economy. The obtained estimates, compared and evaluated against a traditional regression model fitted to the same data, show the advantages of the LVM analytical framework, which could lead a long drawn‐out conflict between empirical results and theory to a satisfactory reconciliation.
