Geometric Tolerance Quantification and Prediction Framework for Additive Manufacturing Processes
DownloadFall 2021
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an advanced manufacturing technology used to manufacture custom and geometrically complex parts using a layer-by-layer material addition process. Variations in the AM process lead to ‘deviations’ in the manufactured part, resulting in geometric non-conformance. To...

Improving 3D Printability and Functional Performance of Polyethylene across Visible and IR Spectrums through IR Transparent Pigmentation and Polyolefin Additives
DownloadFall 2023
Polyolefin thermoplastics form a significant fraction of the world scale production of plastics and are of high interest due to their toughness, low cost, good chemical resistance and excellent IR properties. Two grades of PE: Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and High-Density Polyethylene...

Macro-Scale Lithium-Ion Battery Simulation by Means of the Finite Element Method and Concentrated Solution Theory
DownloadFall 2023
Lithium-ion batteries are the leading contender for high density energy storage for applications such as electric vehicles and personal electronic devices. While they promise well over 4 V of potential per cell, actually realizing such high voltages is quite difficult, given the many modes of...
