This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various methods have been reported to join carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites with aluminum alloy (AA), with strengths ranging from 13 MPa to 112 MPa. This research project presents a new method for joining carbon fiber reinforced composites and metals using ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM), a solid-state manufacturing technology. Dry fibers are embedded in a metal matrix to create mechanical interlocking between the fiber and metal. After the UAM process, the dry fiber-metal joint can be interleaved with additional fiber fabrics to create FRP components with metal tabs that enable the FRP to be joined with metal structures using conventional metal-metal joining techniques. A manufacturing approach for producing continuous CFRP and aluminum alloy (AA) joints is developed. Mechanical testing demonstrates that the joints achieve a 129.5 MPa tensile strength. The failure mode can be designed to be fiber failure or metal failure based on the fiber-to-metal bearing area ratio. Failure in metal leads to high peak load, and failure in fiber is associated with high energy absorption due to fiber pull-out after initial fracture. The utilization of resistance spot welding (RSW) to join the UAM CFRP-AA joints to bulk AA is investigated by mechanical testing and hardness mapping. In addition to the coupon-level mechanical tests, structure-level tests are performed to evaluate the benefits of UAM CFRP-AA joints. CFRP-AA hybrid beam structures are manufactured using RSW through CFRP-AA joints with the settings developed previously. Benchmarked against pop rivets, experimental results show that the beam structures with UAM joints introduce benefits in energy absorption and force efficiency in four-point bend, axial crush, and torsion. An analytical model is developed based on the thick-wall cylindrical pressure vessel theory. The model is able to predict the tensile peak load and failure mode of the joints based on the material properties and joint design. An FEA model is created based on parameters calculated from the analytical model. The FEA model accurately predicts the tensile behavior of the CFRP-AA joints. A countermeasure to galvanic corrosion is developed by applying a Kevlar fiber reinforced polymer (KFRP) buffer to insulate the CFRP-AA couple. A 12-year equivalent corrosion cyclic test (CCT) is performed. The result demonstrates that the CFRP-KFRP-AA joint can maintain 95\% tensile strength and achieve zero mass loss. The technique of UAM FRP-metal joining has been applied to 1010 steel. A UAM manufacturing process is developed to create 1010 bonding with high shear strength at room temperature. Tensile tests are performed on KFRP-1010 steel joints and KFRP tow failure mode is achieved with high strength. RSW and corrosion studies are also carried out on the steel-based joints.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to increasing emphasis on lightweighting to increase fuel efficiency, integration of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) with metal structures is necessary. Current adhesive and mechanical fastening methods used for joining CFRP to metals are not ideal due to poor mechanical properties and incompatibility with current manufacturing infrastructure. Consequently, new joining techniques are needed for increasing the use of CFRP. In this research project, a method of creating joints between CFRP and 6061-H18 aluminum was developed by using ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM). The UAM process was used to embed dry carbon fiber tows within an aluminum matrix, creating a mechanical joint between the two materials. The joints were then integrated with additional CF fabrics and epoxy, forming a fully integrated CF-Al structure. This technique was used to create CF-Al joints for tensile, cross tensile, and three-point-bend testing. Mechanical test results showed that the UAM constructed joints had superior strength when compared to adhesive single lap joints. Throughout the UAM joint manufacturing process, experimental observations paired with FEA were used to help solve issues with foil tearing, which is a common problem experienced when materials are embedded with UAM.

Download or read book Process Control and Development for Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing with Embedded Fibers written by Adam J. Hehr and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) is a recent additive manufacturing technology which combines ultrasonic metal welding, CNC machining, and mechanized foil layering to create large gapless near net-shape metallic parts. The process has been attracting much attention lately due to its low formation temperature, the capability to join dissimilar metals, and the ability to create complex design features not possible with traditional subtractive processes alone. These process attributes enable light-weighting of structures and components in an unprecedented way. However, UAM is currently limited to niche areas due to the lack of quality tracking and inadequate scientic understanding of the process. As a result, this thesis work is focused on improving both component quality tracking and process understanding through the use of average electrical power input to the welder. Additionally, the understanding and application space of embedding fibers into metals using UAM is investigated, with particular focus on NiTi shape memory alloy fibers.
Download or read book Additive Manufacturing for Polymers written by Jianlei Wang and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a manufacturing process that connects materials layer by layer to produce a solid object based on networked digital model files. Advantages of 3D printing over traditional manufacturing include less material consumption, lower costs, faster production process, customizable degrees of freedom and complexity of geometric shapes. The traditional manufacturing of a functional structural part often requires multiple independent process steps, while 3D printing can fabricate the same part in one step, enabling small batch production and customization of personalized products. Due to the diversity of materials available, 3D printing for polymer can be used to create lightweight complex structures in aerospace, models of architectural structures, art reproductions, and biological tissues and organs.
