Additive Manufacturing Of High-Performance Nanolamellar Eutectic High-Entropy Alloys, Jie Ren
Additive Manufacturing Of High-Performance Nanolamellar Eutectic High-Entropy Alloys, Jie Ren
Doctoral Dissertations
Additive manufacturing, also called three-dimensional (3D) printing, is an emerging technology for printing net-shaped components layer by layer for applications in automotive, aerospace, biomedical and other industries. In addition to the vast design freedom offered by this approach, metal 3D printing via laser powder-bed fusion (L-PBF) involves large temperature gradients and rapid cooling and provides exciting opportunities for producing microstructures and mechanical properties beyond those achievable by conventional processing routes. Although these extreme printing conditions enable microstructural refinement to the nanoscale for achieving high strength. However, high-strength nanostructured alloys by laser additive manufacturing often suffer from limited ductility. Eutectic high-entropy …

Enabling Nanoimprint Lithography Techniques Across Multiple Manufacturing Processes, Vincent Einck
Doctoral Dissertations
Advanced nanooptics in the areas of flat lenses, diffractive elements, and tunable emissivity require a route to high throughput manufacturing. Nanooptics are often demanding of high refractive index materials, nanometer precision and ease of fabrication. Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is a low-cost, high throughput manufacturing technique beginning to be realized in commercial industry.1,2 The NIL process is an ideal manufacturing candidate due to its ability to have a fast process time, efficient use of materials, repeatability and high precision while also having wide diversity of potential structures and material choices. Appling NIL techniques to other facets of manufacturing enable the …

Additive Manufacturing Of Sub-Micron Features And Mechanical Linkages, David K. Limberg
Doctoral Dissertations
In recent years material constraints have become the limiting factor in several fields, including batteries, robotics, and medicine, and these needs have prompted the development of materials with programmable properties. To this end, much effort has been dedicated to designing metamaterials that have unprecedented optical, mechanical, and thermal properties, along with systems for additive manufacturing to build their complex structures with high precision and throughput. The field of additive manufacturing has proved to be a platform for innovation across many industries yet is still limited with regards to feature sizes, print rates, and diversity of materials. Mechanical devices like linkages …
Mechanical Performance Of Structural Systems With Missing Members: From Buildings To Architected Materials, Panagiotis Pantidis
Mechanical Performance Of Structural Systems With Missing Members: From Buildings To Architected Materials, Panagiotis Pantidis
Doctoral Dissertations
Structural systems are potentially subjected to damage initiating scenarios throughout the course of their service time. Depending on the nature and extent of the damaging event, they may experience significant reduction or even complete loss of their mechanical performance. This dissertation delves into the mechanics of structural systems under the notion of missing members from their domain, investigating types of structural systems: a) multi-story steel framed buildings, and b) materials with a truss-lattice microstructure. Part I of the dissertation investigates the performance of multi-story steel framed buildings under a column removal scenario, developing an analytical framework for their quasi-static robustness …
