In this paper, the approach and main advances made in multi-process hybrid production cells (HyProCell) for rapid individualised laser-based production are compiled and discussed, including highlights and achievements. HyProCell constructs automated manufacturing platforms that integrate highly flexible laser-based additive build processes with more conventional yet precise subtractive machining processes and include novel solutions like automatic powder removal system/machines and robot arms in integrated multi-process production cells. The HyProCell approach can either build parts additively from scratch and finish them in a coherent production single line/cell or prepare parts by machining and add laser-based additive features, achieving otherwise impossible shapes. In addition to producing new parts, existing parts can be repaired or improved by adding new details with the HyProCell hybrid concept. The research work includes the design of pilot cell facilities, the development of the, and a new modular architecture including a middleware and integration layer to ensure automation with improved pallet handling systems. Finally, the MES and data management methodologies for future improvements and pilot facility implementation were made.

Now a days for machining operations apart from good tribological properties, the lubricant is also expected to be non-hazardous and non-polluting. When considering the ecological and environmental aspects in machining processes, the use of biodegradable oil can be an alternative source of lubricant due to its positive impact to employee health and environmental pollution. In this regard, our research work uses vegetable based cutting fluids developed from canola and sunflower oil, in an attempt to provide an eco-friendly environment. Experiments are carried out on a pin-on-disc tribometer with tungsten carbide (WC) pin against AISI 4340 steel disc for different sliding times under different environments, thus simulating the machining environment. The tribological properties, wear and friction of vegetable based oils were comparatively investigated with a commercially available mineral oil. Wear tracks and roughness profiles of test specimens were compared by using optical microscope and profilometer respectively. Results indicated that vegetable based canola oil demonstrated excellent tribological properties compared to that of commercial mineral oil.

The woven fabrics containing cotton/spandex core spun yarns possesses very vital properties of stretch, recovery and thus shape retention from the view point of wearing comfort and garment appearance. Spandex present in the core of core spun yarn is the most essential performer behind these properties. An attempt is made in this research work to study the influence of changing spandex denier in core spun yarn on the stretch and functional properties of stretch woven fabrics. The sole objective of this study is to find out whether different stretch, shrinkage and physical properties of stretch woven fabrics depend upon changing spandex percentage achieved by means of change in spandex filament denier. It was observed that by increasing denier of spandex in core spun weft yarns the increase in weft shrinkage diminishes. Dual core weft with spandex provides good elongation percentage and recovery percentage. The fabric with higher denier spandex in yarn shows a decreasing total hand values trend for summer and winter. The results depicts that the fabrics have higher THV for winter suiting fabrics as compared to summer suiting thus are more suitable for the winter wear.

Abstract This research work deals with the analysis of transient radiative transfer in one-dimensional scattering medium. The time-dependant discrete ordinates method was used with an upwind monotonic scheme: the piecewise parabolic scheme. This scheme was chosen over a total variation diminishing version of the Lax-Wendroff scheme. These schemes were originally developed to solve Eulerian advection problem in hydrodynamics. The capability of these schemes to handle sharp discontinuity in a propagating electromagnetic wave front was compared. The accuracy and the efficiency of the discrete ordinates method associated with the piecewise parabolic advection scheme were studied. Comparisons with Monte Carlo and integral formulation methods show the accuracy and the efficiency of this proposed method. Parametric study for optically thin and thick medium, different albedos and phase functions is then made in the unsteady state zone.

AbstractHybrid manufacturing processes are known for combining the advantages of additive manufacturing and more traditional manufacturing processes such as machining to create components of complex geometry while minimising material waste. The trend towards lightweight design, especially in view of e-mobility, gives aluminium materials an important role to play. This study examines the use of aluminium alloys in laser metal wire deposition (LMWD) processes with subsequent subtractive machining, which is considerably more difficult due to the different process-related influences. The investigations are focussed on the influence of the differently controlled laser power on the shape accuracy, the microstructure, and the hardness of the AlMg5 test components after the LMWD process with subsequent subtractive machining by turning. The long-term goal of the investigations is to increase the stability of the hybrid production process of AlMg5 components with defined dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties.

AbstractCertain machining processes (e.g. turning, grinding, …) lead to a splitting up and an opening out of the curve of 2θ ϕ ψ = f (sin2ψ). In order to determine the complete stress tensor, it is necessary in this case to use the Dölle-Cohen method but this requires the knowledge of the diffraction angle 2θo for the unstressed material. Such a material, however, is extremely difficult to obtain in practice and the method usually employed uses annealed powder for this measurement. In our study, we show that it is nevertheless possible to determine the angle 2θo on a specimen for which the curve of 2θ ϕ ψ = f (sin2ψ) does not open out. Applying the Dölle-Cohen method to turning of a medium carbon steel, we have been able to bring to the fore: (i) the presence of an opening out of the curve 2θ ϕ ψ = f (sin2ψ), for measurements made in the direction of lay, which is attributed to a shear stress σ23, and (ii) shear stress σ12 which causes a rotation of the stress distribution diagram σϕ = f(ϕ) in the plane of the specimen.
