Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of composite additive manufacturing technology, the design optimization of variable stiffness of fiber-reinforced composite laminates has attracted widespread attention from scholars and industry. In these aerospace composite structures, numerous cutout panels and shells serve as access points for maintaining electrical, fuel, and hydraulic systems. The traditional fiber-reinforced composite laminate subtractive drilling manufacturing inevitably faces the problems of interlayer delamination, fiber fracture, and burr of the laminate. Continuous fiber additive manufacturing technology offers the potential for integrated design optimization and manufacturing with high structural performance. Considering the integration of design and manufacturability in continuous fiber additive manufacturing, the paper proposes linear and nonlinear filtering strategies based on the Normal Distribution Fiber Optimization (NDFO) material interpolation scheme to overcome the challenge of discrete fiber optimization results, which are difficult to apply directly to continuous fiber additive manufacturing. With minimizing structural compliance as the objective function, the proposed approach provides a strategy to achieve continuity of discrete fiber paths in the variable stiffness design optimization of composite laminates with regular and irregular holes. In the variable stiffness design optimization model, the number of candidate fiber laying angles in the NDFO material interpolation scheme is considered as design variable. The sensitivity information of structural compliance with respect to the number of candidate fiber laying angles is obtained using the analytical sensitivity analysis method. Based on the proposed variable stiffness design optimization method for complex perforated composite laminates, the numerical examples consider the variable stiffness design optimization of typical non-perforated and perforated composite laminates with circular, square, and irregular holes, and systematically discuss the number of candidate discrete fiber laying angles, discrete fiber continuous filtering strategies, and filter radius on structural compliance, continuity, and manufacturability. The optimized discrete fiber angles of variable stiffness laminates are converted into continuous fiber laying paths using a streamlined process for continuous fiber additive manufacturing. Meanwhile, the optimized non-perforated and perforated MBB beams after discrete fiber continuous treatment, are manufactured using continuous fiber co-extrusion additive manufacturing technology to verify the effectiveness of the variable stiffness fiber optimization framework proposed in this paper.展开更多

文摘Smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 are transforming traditional manufacturing processes by utilizing innovative technologies such as the artificial intelligence(AI)and internet of things(IoT)to enhance efficiency,reduce costs,and ensure product quality.In light of the recent advancement of Industry 4.0,identifying defects has become important for ensuring the quality of products during the manufacturing process.In this research,we present an ensemble methodology for accurately classifying hot rolled steel surface defects by combining the strengths of four pre-trained convolutional neural network(CNN)architectures:VGG16,VGG19,Xception,and Mobile-Net V2,compensating for their individual weaknesses.We evaluated our methodology on the Xsteel surface defect dataset(XSDD),which comprises seven different classes.The ensemble methodology integrated the predictions of individual models through two methods:model averaging and weighted averaging.Our evaluation showed that the model averaging ensemble achieved an accuracy of 98.89%,a recall of 98.92%,a precision of 99.05%,and an F1-score of 98.97%,while the weighted averaging ensemble reached an accuracy of 99.72%,a recall of 99.74%,a precision of 99.67%,and an F1-score of 99.70%.The proposed weighted averaging ensemble model outperformed the model averaging method and the individual models in detecting defects in terms of accuracy,recall,precision,and F1-score.Comparative analysis with recent studies also showed the superior performance of our methodology.
文摘The functionally graded materials(FGMs)are obtained by various processes.Although a few FGMs are obtained naturally,such as oyster,pearl,and bamboo,additive manufacturing(AM),known as 3D printing,is a net-shaped manufacturing process employed to manufacture complex 3D objects without tools,molds,assembly,and joining.Currently,commercial AM techniques mostly use homogeneous composition with simplified geometric descriptions,employing a single material across the entire component to achieve functional graded additive manufacturing(FGAM),in contrast to multi-material FGAM with heterogeneous structures.FGMs are widely used in various fields due to their mechanical property advantages.Because FGM plays a significant role in the industrial production,the characteristics and mechanical behaviour of FGMs prepared by AM were reviewed.In this review,the research on FGMs and AM over the past 30 years was reviewed,suggesting that future researchers should focus on the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies in industry to optimize the process parameters of different gradient systems.

文摘Friction rolling additive manufacturing(FRAM)is a solid-state additive manufacturing technology that plasticizes the feed and deposits a material using frictional heat generated by the tool head.The thermal efficiency of FRAM,which depends only on friction to generate heat,is low,and the thermal-accumulation effect of the deposition process must be addressed.An FRAM heat-balance-control method that combines plasma-arc preheating and instant water cooling(PC-FRAM)is devised in this study,and a temperature field featuring rapidly increasing and decreasing temperature is constructed around the tool head.Additionally,2195-T87 Al-Li alloy is used as the feed material,and the effects of heating and cooling rates on the microstructure and mechanical properties are investigated.The results show that water cooling significantly improves heat accumulation during the deposition process.The cooling rate increases by 11.7 times,and the high-temperature residence time decreases by more than 50%.The grain size of the PC-FRAM sample is the smallest,i.e.,3.77±1.03μm,its dislocation density is the highest,and the number density of precipitates is the highest,the size of precipitates is the smallest,which shows the best precipitation-strengthening effect.The hardness test results are consistent with the precipitation distribution.The ultimate tensile strength,yield strength and elongation of the PC-FRAM samples are the highest(351±15.6 MPa,251.3±15.8 MPa and 16.25%±1.25%,respectively)among the samples investigated.The preheating and water-cooling-assisted deposition simultaneously increases the tensile strength and elongation of the deposited samples.The combination of preheating and instant cooling improves the deposition efficiency of FRAM and weakens the thermal-softening effect.

文摘The feasibility of manufacturing Ti-6Al-4V samples through a combination of laser-aided additive manufacturing with powder(LAAM_(p))and wire(LAAM_(w))was explored.A process study was first conducted to successfully circumvent defects in Ti-6Al-4V deposits for LAAM_(p) and LAAM_(w),respectively.With the optimized process parameters,robust interfaces were achieved between powder/wire deposits and the forged substrate,as well as between powder and wire deposits.Microstructure characterization results revealed the epitaxial prior β grains in the deposited Ti-6Al-4V,wherein the powder deposit was dominated by a finerα′microstructure and the wire deposit was characterized by lamellar α phases.The mechanisms of microstructure formation and correlation with mechanical behavior were analyzed and discussed.The mechanical properties of the interfacial samples can meet the requirements of the relevant Aerospace Material Specifications(AMS 6932)even without post heat treatment.No fracture occurred within the interfacial area,further suggesting the robust interface.The findings of this study highlighted the feasibility of combining LAAM_(p) and LAAM_(w) in the direct manufacturing of Ti-6Al-4V parts in accordance with the required dimensional resolution and deposition rate,together with sound strength and ductility balance in the as-built condition.

Through dynamic hammering and high dynamic firing verification, SLM components meet the requirements for overload resistance. The results have proven that MEM technology can provide a new means for the processing of MEMS components applied in high dynamic environments. The parameters obtained in the conclusion can provide a design basis for the additive preparation of MEMS components.

文摘The operation of deep-sea underwater vehicles relies entirely on onboard batteries.However,the extreme deep-sea conditions,characterized by ultrahigh hydraulic pressure,low temperature,and seawater conductivity,pose significant challenges for battery development.These conditions drive the need for specialized designs in deep-sea batteries,incorporating critical aspects of power generation,protection,distribution,and management.Over time,deep-sea battery technology has evolved through multiple generations,with lithium(Li)batteries emerging in recent decades as the preferred power source due to their high energy and reduced operational risks.Although the rapid progress of Li batteries has notably advanced the capabilities of underwater vehicles,critical technical issues remain unresolved.This review first systematically presents the whole picture of deep-sea battery manufacturing,focusing on Li batteries as the current mainstream solution for underwater power.It examines the key aspects of deep-sea Li battery development,including materials selection informed by electro-chemo-mechanics models,component modification and testing,and battery management systems specialized in software and hardware.Finally,it discusses the main challenges limiting the utilization of deep-sea batteries and outlines promising directions for future development.Based on the systematic reflection on deep-sea batteries and discussion on deep-sea Li batteries,this review aims to provide a research foundation for developing underwater power tailored for extreme environmental exploration.

文摘To overcome the shortage of complex equipment,large volume,and high energy consumption in space capsule manufacturing,a novel sliding pressure Joule heat fuse additive manufacturing technique with reduced volume and low energy consumption was proposed.But the unreasonable process parameters may lead to the inferior consistency of the forming quality of single-channel multilayer in Joule heat additive manufacturing process,and it is difficult to reach the condition for forming thinwalled parts.Orthogonal experiments were designed to fabricate single-channel multilayer samples with varying numbers of layers,and their forming quality was evaluated.The influence of printing current,forming speed,and contact pressure on the forming quality of the single-channel multilayer was analyzed.The optimal process parameters were obtained and the quality characterization of the experiment results was conducted.Results show that the printing current has the most significant influence on the forming quality of the single-channel multilayer.Under the optimal process parameters,the forming section is well fused and the surface is continuously smooth.The surface roughness of a single-channel 3-layer sample is 0.16μm,and the average Vickers hardness of cross section fusion zone is 317 HV,which lays a foundation for the subsequent use of Joule heat additive manufacturing technique to form thinwall parts.

文摘Fiber-reinforced composites are an ideal material for the lightweight design of aerospace structures. Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of composite additive manufacturing technology, the design optimization of variable stiffness of fiber-reinforced composite laminates has attracted widespread attention from scholars and industry. In these aerospace composite structures, numerous cutout panels and shells serve as access points for maintaining electrical, fuel, and hydraulic systems. The traditional fiber-reinforced composite laminate subtractive drilling manufacturing inevitably faces the problems of interlayer delamination, fiber fracture, and burr of the laminate. Continuous fiber additive manufacturing technology offers the potential for integrated design optimization and manufacturing with high structural performance. Considering the integration of design and manufacturability in continuous fiber additive manufacturing, the paper proposes linear and nonlinear filtering strategies based on the Normal Distribution Fiber Optimization (NDFO) material interpolation scheme to overcome the challenge of discrete fiber optimization results, which are difficult to apply directly to continuous fiber additive manufacturing. With minimizing structural compliance as the objective function, the proposed approach provides a strategy to achieve continuity of discrete fiber paths in the variable stiffness design optimization of composite laminates with regular and irregular holes. In the variable stiffness design optimization model, the number of candidate fiber laying angles in the NDFO material interpolation scheme is considered as design variable. The sensitivity information of structural compliance with respect to the number of candidate fiber laying angles is obtained using the analytical sensitivity analysis method. Based on the proposed variable stiffness design optimization method for complex perforated composite laminates, the numerical examples consider the variable stiffness design optimization of typical non-perforated and perforated composite laminates with circular, square, and irregular holes, and systematically discuss the number of candidate discrete fiber laying angles, discrete fiber continuous filtering strategies, and filter radius on structural compliance, continuity, and manufacturability. The optimized discrete fiber angles of variable stiffness laminates are converted into continuous fiber laying paths using a streamlined process for continuous fiber additive manufacturing. Meanwhile, the optimized non-perforated and perforated MBB beams after discrete fiber continuous treatment, are manufactured using continuous fiber co-extrusion additive manufacturing technology to verify the effectiveness of the variable stiffness fiber optimization framework proposed in this paper.
文摘This study investigates a metal laser direct-writing additive manufacturing process for potential in-space applications.The feasibility of stable deposition under various gravitational conditions—specifically at angles of 0°,90°,and 180°between the deposition direction and gravitational acceleration,and under zero-gravity—is demonstrated.The analysis reveals that a stable metal deposition layer can be formed under different gravity conditions by establishing a strong liquid bridge connection with the substrate;however,the direction of gravitational acceleration significantly affects the cross-sectional morphology of the deposition layer.By comparing different parameters,it is found that the best cross-sectional morphology can be obtained when the wire feeding speed is 120 mm/min and the ratio to the moving speed is 1.0.Notably,a higher wire feeding rate correlates with an increased temperature gradient within the heat-affected zone.On this basis,a thin-walled cylindrical piece printed at a 90°angle between the deposition gravity directions exhibits an outer surface cylindricity of 0.294mm,a size deviation range of-0.168 mm to 0.126 mm,a maximum size deviation of 0.168 mm on the outer surface,and a surface roughness of less than 8.142μm.The results indicate that this process produces printed parts with high surface quality and geometric accuracy.Tensile tests on the printed parts demonstrate that they possess excellent mechanical properties.This study provides valuable insights and a meaningful exploration of future in-orbit metal manufacturing.

文摘A reasonable process plan is an important basis for implementing wire arc additive and subtractive hybrid manufacturing(ASHM),and a new optimization method is proposed.Firstly,the target parts and machining tools are modeled by level set functions.Secondly,the mathematical model of the additive direction optimization problem is established,and an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is designed to decide the best additive direction.Then,the two-step strategy is used to plan the hybrid manufacturing alternating sequence.The target parts are directly divided into various processing regions;each processing region is optimized based on manufacturability and manufacturing efficiency,and the optimal hybrid manufacturing alternating sequence is obtained by merging some processing regions.Finally,the method is used to outline the process plan of the designed example model and applied to the actual hybrid manufacturing process of the model.The manufacturing result shows that the method can meet the main considerations in hybrid manufacturing.In addition,the degree of automation of process planning is high,and the dependence on manual intervention is low.
