Influence of Infill Density on Structural Performance of FDM-Processed PET-G Polymer: Experimental Validation through Quadcopter Flight Testing
Abstract: Polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified (PET-G) is an amorphous thermoplastic copolymer increasingly adopted in structural applications through fused deposition modeling (FDM). However, the correlation between FDM processing parameters, especially infill density, and mechanical performance of PET-G parts remains inadequately characterized under real-life loading conditions. This study investigates how infill density (10% and 30%, grid pattern) influences the structural integrity of FDM-processed PET-G components, validated experimentally through quadcopter airframe fabrication and flight testing. …

Finite Element Analysis and Validation of Axial Capacity of RC Columns Made of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC)
Abstract: Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) possesses many excellent dynamic performances such as; high resistance to explosion and penetration. It has little effect on pre-cracking behavior in uniaxial compression, but substantially enhances its post cracking response. This response leads to a greatly improved ductility and toughness. Steel fibers in SFRC are capable of preventing crack propagation as well as brittle failure of columns under uniaxial compression. To this end, four reinforced …

Flexural Analysis of Concrete Specimens with Substantial Substitution of Cement by Marble Dust and Scrap Rubber as Fibre
Abstract: Concrete is a crucial material in building and construction. Concrete is becoming more and more in demand every day. Concrete's essential ingredients are running out, therefore we need to find replacements. In addition to providing the necessary strength to the concrete, the replacement materials should also have the properties of the genuine components used in concrete. Typically, compression is where concrete shines, whereas tension and shear are where it falters. …

Flexibility Analysis of Refinery Piping System
Abstract: Piping systems in downstream refineries and process plants experience a great thermal strain due to the difference between ambient and operating temperatures of process and utility fluid flowing through them. This thermal growth causes thermal stresses which leads to failure in piping components like flange leakage, deflection in piping, fractures at nozzle juncture and other fatal errors in piping system. Therefore, these piping structures must be flexible enough to support …

Capability Database of Injection Molding Process—Requirements Study for Wider Suitability and Higher Accuracy
Abstract: AbstractGenerally, there is little disagreement that an early consideration of dimensional accuracies achieved in production is conducive to the success of development of injection molding products. While different process capability databases (PCDBs) provide guidance for a meaningful estimation of the expected part variation, the adoption of corresponding guidelines and (proprietary) software tools seems to be, however, limited in industrial practice so far. This research paper addresses the gap between the …

Mechanism of Intensive Gas and Fluid Mixture in the Process of Vibroturbulization and Its Technological Applications
Abstract: Previously conducted experimental studies have established that in a certain narrow frequency range and upon reaching a certain value of the amplitude of water oscillations in a sealed vessel with above-water air shell, subjected to vertical vibration, a resonant phenomenon occurs, called “vibroturbulization”, leading to intensive mixing of media of different density. The studies carried out were purely experimental in nature and could not reveal the physicochemical mechanism of occurrence, …
