  3D Printing of Polymer-Based Functionally Graded Materials: Recent Developments and Challenges

  By Shaik. Nagoor Baba, S. N. Padhi, Charan Gopi Krishna Kondapalli

  Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM), specifically 3D printing, has become a useful technique for fabricating functionally graded materials (FGMs) because it can facilitate the spatial distribution of materials. Polymer FGMs (P-FGMs) have gained a great deal of interest due to their lightweight, customizable, multifunctional properties. In comparison to conventional fabrication, 3D printing allows better control of composition and microstructure, which results in materials with controlled mechanical, thermal, and biological properties. This review …

  Comparative Analysis of Disc Brake Using Eco-Friendly Material

  By Shaik. Nagoor Baba, G. Diwakar, Charan Gopi Krishna Kondapalli

  Abstract: Brakes are crucial components for slowing or stopping the vehicle. Almost all vehicles use disc brakes. The working of a disc brake is simple; when the brake pedal is pressed, braking pads are forced mechanically against the rotor or disc on both surfaces. The friction generated between the rotor and brake pads slows down the vehicle. The design and materials of disc brakes play a significant role in their performance. …
