In this contribution, a computational approach for the manufacturing of multi-material lightweight parts is presented. For an efficient online optimization procedure, a proper orthogonal decomposition on offline obtained ...

Machining of tungsten carbide requires the use of highly wear resistant grinding tools, like metal bonded grinding tools. The abrasive layer of these grinding tools can be regarded as Metal-Matrix-Composites reinforced ...

Metal-bonded grinding tools are commonly based on copper as bond material and possess low porosity. The powder metallurgic fabrication and the applied process parameters have a high influence on the mechanical properties ...

The thermoelectric effect describes the conversion of heat into electrical energy and it is the pivotal element for the utilization of waste heat via Energy Harvesting. Especially high-temperature applications in industrially ...

Within this work the ablation behaviour of both carbon and glass fibre reinforced epoxy resin was assessed when ablated by a nanosecond-pulsed laser source emitting radiation in the ultra-violet spectrum. The investigation ...
