Enhancement of Flexural Strength in FDM-Printed Components through Taguchi-Based Process Parameter Optimization
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM), especially Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), has emerged as a widely adopted and versatile method for producing three-dimensional components. The process involves the deposition of a thermoplastic filament in a semi-molten state, which solidifies in successive layers to form the final structure. While this method enables the production of complex geometries at relatively low cost, the printed parts often exhibit inferior surface quality and reduced mechanical performance compared …

Non-Contact Quantification of Swelling-Induced Deformation in Polymer Hydrogels Using Image Analysis
Abstract: Swelling of polymer hydrogels governs transport, mechanics, and functional performance in biomedical systems, yet it is often reported using bulk ratios that conceal spatially heterogeneous deformation and boundary-driven instabilities. This study presents a non-contact image-analysis framework to quantify swelling-induced deformation by tracking shape and boundary evolution from time-lapse imaging. The approach segments the hydrogel region, extracts a sub-pixel refined contour, and computes boundary displacement descriptors including mean and upper-percentile normal …

SYMMETRY AND ASYMMETRY MODEL FOR THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY IN POROUS MEDIA
Abstract: This paper focuses on determining thermal conductivity in porous media using symmetry and asymmetry models. Since porous media are not uniform and homogeneous in most of the cases, anisotropy must be taken into account, what derives in the application of an asymmetry model as thermal gradients are not equal in all directions. The paper demonstrates that, under certain conditions, isotropic conditions, therefore, symmetry model can be applied to non-homogeneous or …
