This research work aims to understand the influence of temperature (upto 80°C) on the impact sensitivity of matchhead composition with various process contact materials (Steel, aluminium, brass) and to find out the critical temperature for process safety. The BAM fall hammer was modified with a heating element for the measurement of impact sensitivity. The Limiting Impact Energy (LIE) at ambient temperature condition with steel surface on the top and bottom was found to be 3.73J. The lowest critical temperature was found to be 60.14°C for the matchhead composition when it is in contact with steel, which was used as the contact material for both top and bottom.

The objective of this research work is to study the influence of different in-process contact materials (steel, aluminium and brass) and building contact materials (concrete and wood), and its hardness on the impact sensitivity of matchhead composition. The BAM fall hammer was used for measurement of impact sensitivity. The result demonstrated that the in-process and building contact materials, and its hardness imparted variation to the sensitivity between 3.33J and 15.892J. The least LIE was found at 3.33J for the steel at 115 HRB and 117 HRB; 3.72J for aluminium at 53 HRB; 4.7J for brass at 82 HRB; 12.16J for concrete at 35 RHN, and 13.14J for wood at 16 HRB. The limited impact energy was lowest when there was contact between steel and steel as in-process material and contact between concrete and concrete as building contact material. The impact sensitivity was higher for material with higher hardness for all building and in-process contact materials. Brass and wood is suggested to be used as process and building materials in order to reduce the risk of explosions due to impact sensitivity.

In this paper, experimental investigation, modeling and optimization of the drilling of PMMA are performed using the Taguchi Design of Experiments (DOE), analysis of variance (ANOVA) and artificial neural networks (ANN) methods. Drilling experiments were conducted on PMMA to assess the impact of process parameters (drill diameter, spindle speed, and feed rate) on the hole-quality characteristics (surface roughness, circularity error, and cylindricity error). ANOVA was performed to identify the drilling parameters that have a statistically significant influence on the hole-quality characteristics. A predictive model for the hole-quality characteristics was derived using a four-layer ANN with a backpropagation algorithm and a sigmoidal transfer function at the hidden layers. The ANN model was able to accurately predict the hole-quality parameters with the absolute mean relative errors of the testing data in the limits of 3 to 7%. Based on the experimental results and analytical modeling, it was found that drilling of PMMA requires lower spindle speed and high feed rate when the integrity of the drill hole is the main quality criterion.

AbstractThe descriptive scattering parameters, haze and angular distribution functions of textured ZnO:Al transparent conductive oxides with different surface roughness are measured. An approach to determine the scattering parameters of all internal interfaces in p-i-n a-Si:H solar cells deposited on the glass/ZnO:Al substrates is presented. Using the determined scattering parameters as the input parameters of the optical model, a good agreement between the measured and simulated quantum efficiencies of the p-i-n a-Si:H solar cells with different interface roughness is achieved.

AbstractIt is well known that the surface topography of a part can affect its mechanical performance, which is typical in additive manufacturing. In this context, we report about the surface modification of additive manufactured components made of Titanium 64 (Ti64) and Scalmalloy®, using a pulsed laser, with the aim of reducing their surface roughness. In our experiments, a nanosecond-pulsed infrared laser source with variable pulse durations between 8 and 200 ns was applied. The impact of varying a large number of parameters on the surface quality of the smoothed areas was investigated. The results demonstrated a reduction of surface roughness Sa by more than 80% for Titanium 64 and by 65% for Scalmalloy® samples. This allows to extend the applicability of additive manufactured components beyond the current state of the art and break new ground for the application in various industrial applications such as in aerospace.
