Fabrication of smart structures through selective laser melting (3D printing) (II) by Ong, Cindy

“…The functional properties of shape memory alloys (SMAs) are highly dependent on the alloy’s microstructure, and hence any factor that affects its microstructure, such as its composition, must be carefully controlled to ensure optimal functionality of the alloy. Selective Laser Melting (SLM) of Nickel-Titanium SMAs uses high energy lasers to melt the powder, which in turn alters the microstructure of the alloy. …”

Experimental investigation of fatigue in a cantilever energy harvesting beam by Avvari, Panduranga Vittal, Yang, Yaowen, Liu, Peiwen, Soh, Chee Kiong

“…This article brings forth an experimental investigation into the phenomenon of fatigue of a PEH cantilever beam. As there has been very little literature reported in this area, an effort has been made to scrutinize the damage due to fatigue in a linear vibrating cantilever PEH beam consisting of an aluminum substrate with a piezoelectric macro-fiber composite (MFC) patch attached near the root of the beam and a tip mass attached to the beam. …”

Free vibration of exponential functionally graded beams with single delamination by Xiao, Jing, Shu, Dongwei, Liu, Yang

“…This is the first study on the influences of delamination (its length and location) on the vibration of exponential functionally graded beams. Results show that the natural frequency increases as the Young's modulus ratio increases, but such increase is smaller when the beam suffers a longer delamination. …”

Raising Two More Fundamental Questions Regarding the Classical Views on the Rheology of Polymer Melts by Ibar, Jean Pierre

“…The current paradigm of polymer flow assumes that (i) the effect of the molecular weight of the macromolecules, M, and of the temperature, T, on the expression of the viscosity of polymer melts separate; (ii) the molecular weight for entanglement, Mc, is independent of T; and (iii) the determination of Mc by the break in the log viscosity curve against log M unequivocally differentiates un-entangled melts from entangled melts. …”
