FFF Printing Failure Criteria
Explanation of the FFF Printing Failure Criteria Project The primary focus of this project is to determine the tensile failure criteria for additive manufactured parts made with an FFF (fused filament fabrication) printer. As additive …
Friction Surfacing of Stainless Steel 304
Friction Surfacing (FS) is a solid state process used to produce fine grained coatings with superior surface and corrosion properties; eliminate subsurface voids and cracks. Bulk melting does not occur, allowing us to join dissimilar …
Mini VAWT Optimization Proposal
GOAL The goal of this project is to utilize additive manufacturing to adjust a series of parameters of scaled down vertical axis wind turbines’ blades, in order to identify an optimal design. WHY Although, horizontal …
