Additive manufacturing (AM) can be used to produce multi-material parts in which the material can be varied voxel-wise in all three spatial directions. This means that the paradigm of the homogeneous material can be abandoned ...

Das kontinuierliche Streben, Strukturbauteile immer ressourcenschonender und effizienter zu gestalten, führt zu einer Reduktion der Bauteilmasse, aber auch der Dämpfung. Allerdings stellen Dämpfungsmechanismen einen ...

Damping mechanisms are a crucial factor for influencing the vibration behavior of dynamic systems. In many applications vibrations are undesirable and need to be reduced by appropriate measures. For instance, vibrations ...

Prosthetic implants, particularly hip endoprostheses, often lead to stress shielding because of a mismatch in compliance between the bone and the implant material, adversely affecting the implant’s longevity and effectiveness. ...

Additively manufactured parts are often created with cavities for weight reduction or other mechanical purposes. These cavities offer the optimal base for granular damping. Unfused raw material particles can be left inside ...

The deep-drawability of a sheet metal blank is strongly influenced by the tribological conditions prevailing in a deep-drawing process. Therefore, new methods to influence the tribology represent an important research ...

Designing components for thermo-mechanical loads is a challenging process. While mechanical loads like forces or pressure demand a stiff and thick-walled design, thermal loads create temperature gradients, resulting in ...
