چکیده
Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), a method of directed energy deposition (DED) for metal 3D printing, is capable producing intricate parts at relatively high rate and low cost. Despite the great potential WAAM applications in construction, knowledge performance structural elements still lacking, geometric freedom yet to be fully harnessed. This study therefore aimed investigating local buckling behaviour carbon steel exploring opportunity improved efficiency through optimisation. An optimisation was initially conducted derive optimal stiffener layouts square hollow sections (SHS) under compression. A total six plain SHS with broad range width-to-thickness ratios, along two strengthened optimised stiffeners, were manufactured via tested. The benchmark profiles examined allow direct comparisons conventionally-produced SHS. laser-scanning carried out capture features specimens, digital image correlation (DIC) adopted full-field measurement their responses during testing. stub columns shown have comparable load-carrying capacities stocky range, but exhibited inferior slender range. Comparisons Eurocode 3 (EC3) resistance predictions showed that existing Class slenderness limit effective width specified EC3 plated structures may overly optimistic owing typically larger imperfections. Finally, stiffeners exhibit significantly over both conventionally-manufactured SHS, bringing disproportionate increases deformation capacity relative mass.

Additively Manufactured Porous Biomaterials and Implants
Recent advances in additive manufacturing (AM) techniques (otherwise known as 3D printing) have enabled fabrication of a new class of porous biomaterials (Figure 1) with arbitrarily complex and precisely controlled topologies that e.g. resemble the geometry and micro-architecture of (trabecular) bone. Since the geometry of scaffolds and biomaterials is an important factor in bone tissue regener...
متن کاملMechanical Properties of Additively Manufactured Thick Honeycombs
Honeycombs resemble the structure of a number of natural and biological materials such as cancellous bone, wood, and cork. Thick honeycomb could be also used for energy absorption applications. Moreover, studying the mechanical behavior of honeycombs under in-plane loading could help understanding the mechanical behavior of more complex 3D tessellated structures such as porous biomaterials. In ...

Additive manufacturing/3D printing of medical devices is becoming more commonplace, a 3D printed drug is now commercially available, and bioprinting is poised to transition from laboratory to market. Despite the variety of technologies enabling these products, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is charged with protecting and promoting the public health by ensuring these products are safe...
متن کاملAdditively Manufactured Pneumatically Driven Skin Electrodes
Telemedicine focuses on improving the quality of health care, particularly in out-of-hospital settings. One of the most important applications is the continuous remote monitoring of vital parameters. Long-term monitoring of biopotentials requires skin-electrodes. State-of-the-art electrodes such as Ag/AgCl wet electrodes lead, especially during long-term application, to complications, e.g., ski...
متن کاملAdditively manufactured sub-periosteal jaw implants.
Severe bone atrophy jeopardizes the success of endosseous implants. This technical note aims to present the innovative concept of additively manufactured sub-periosteal jaw implants (AMSJIs). Digital datasets of the patient's jaws and wax trial in occlusion are used to segment the bone and dental arches, for the design of a sub-periosteal frame and abutments in the optimal location related to t...
