Composite parts manufactured by the current additive manufacturing (AM) methods are inferior in strength and stiffness compared to traditional composite manufacturing. Major issues include voids, physical gaps at layer/layer interface, and low reinforcing fiber content. This paper experimentally examined the feasibility of a patent-pending novel method, Magnetic Compaction Force Assisted-Additive Manufacturing (MCFA-AM), that utilized a magnetic compaction force to print and support curve-shaped continuous carbon fiber reinforced polymer (C-CFRP) composites in free space without any mold. C-CFRP prepreg tapes were fed through a magnet-assisted roller-like-setting, which was a part of the 3D printing head, and consolidated with a magnetic compaction pressure of 0.21 MPa in this feasibility trial. Short beam shear tests (ASTM D2344) showed that the 0.21 MPa MCFA-AM samples’ interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) was 8 % and 9 % stronger and 7% weaker compared with the C-CFRP samples manufactured by the hand layup, the Tension-Tape-Placement-Without Compaction-AM, and the Out-Of-Autoclave Vacuum-Bag-Only (OOA-VBO) methods, respectively. Microscopic observations showed the size and number of voids were significantly reduced by the magnetic compaction. Finally, it demonstrated that printing stiff, strong, and complex shaped C-CFRP parts with great freedom can be done within a few minutes with this exciting AM-Composites technology advance.

This manuscript aims to investigate the effect of cryogenic in-process cooling via liquid nitrogen on the outcomes of the friction stir processing (FSP) of twin roll cast (TRC) magnesium alloy AZ31B. Friction stir processing was performed on 3mm thick sheets of TRC AZ31B at a wide range of processing parameters. The tool rotational speed was varied between 600 RPM and 2000 RPM while the tool feed rate varied between 75 mm/min and 900 mm/min. Thrust force and torque values were experimentally measured using a 4-component dynamometer. Temperature measurements were monitored during the different tests using Infrared sensors and thermocouples. The microstructure of processed samples was observed using optical microscopy. It was found that thrust force and torque values of the pre-cooled samples were 5% higher than those of the room temperature samples due to the material hardening induced by the cooling effect. Finer and more homogenous microstructure was observed for the pre-cooled samples when compared with samples processed at room temperature. The average grain size of pre-cooled samples was predicted using a relation -previously introduced by the authors- that relate grain size and the Zener-Hollomon parameter for TRC AZ31B. This equation was found to correctly predict grain diameter for in-line cooled FSP AZ31B samples at temperatures lower than room temperature.

An advanced engineering mechanics course teaches students to analyze and model a variety of dynamical systems using Newtonian and Lagrangian mechanics approaches. The modeling task typically produces nonlinear differential equations that are best solved numerically. In order to prepare students to competently solve these systems numerically, the students must master a suitable programming environment. This mastery is achieved incrementally throughout the semester. This paper describes a successful approach to developing the necessary programming skills, culminating in a course project in which the students model a complex dynamical system and produce a graphical animation allowing visualization of dynamical behavior. The paper also describes two typical course projects that have been successfully completed by advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. Copyright 2004 by ASME.

A treatment consisting of resistance heat treatment and artificial aging was developed to improve the product strength and press formability of Al-Mg-Si alloy sheets having paint bake hardenability used for automobile body panels. In this treatment, the sheets are re-solution heat-treated by resistance heating and water quenching just before the press forming. The formed sheets are artificially aged just after the press forming to increase the product strength. In the experiment, Al-0.60%Si-0.74%Mg (A6061) alloy sheets were chosen. The solution heat treatment of the sheets was sufficiently accomplished by the rapid resistance heat treatment, and the press formability of the sheets was improved. The hardness of formed products is increased by the artificial aging and paint bake hardening. It was found that the present heat treatment is effective in improving the product strength and press formability of the Al-Mg-Si alloy sheets having the paint bake hardenability.
