We investigate the possibility of additively manufacturing fibrous sound absorbers using fused deposition modeling. Two methods for 3D printing fibers are proposed. The fiber bridging method involves extruding the filament between two…
Multi-sided surfaces are often defined by side interpolants (also called ribbons), i.e. the surface has to connect to the ribbons with a prescribed degree of smoothness. The I-patch is such a family of implicit surfaces capable of…
A roller-ball pen enabled direct writing electronics via room temperature liquid metal ink was proposed. With the rolling to print mechanism, the metallic inks were smoothly written on flexible polymer substrate to form conductive tracks…
High-resolution X-ray observations have revealed cavities and `cold fronts' with sharp edges in temperature, density, and metallicity within galaxy clusters. Their presence poses a puzzle since these features are not expected to be…
In the industrial practice, additive manufacturing processes are often followed by post-processing operations such as subtractive machining, milling, etc. to achieve the desired surface quality and dimensional accuracy. Hence, a given part…
The oscillatory flows present in an inkjet printhead can lead to strong deformations of the air-liquid interface at the nozzle exit. Such deformations may lead to an inward directed air jet with bubble pinch-off and the subsequent…
In additive manufacturing, infill structures are commonly used to reduce the weight and cost of a solid part. Currently, most infill structure generation methods are based on the conventional 2.5-axis printing configuration, which, although…
Thin film condensation is commonly present in numerous natural and artificial processes. Phase-change driven passive heat spreaders such as heat pipes, which are widely used in electronics cooling, employ a continuous condensation process…
Paints and coatings often feature interfacial defects due to disturbances during the deposition process which, if they persist until solidification, worsen the product quality. In this article, we investigate the stability of a thin liquid…
Plants and insects use slender conical structures to transport and collect small droplets, which are propelled along the conical structures due to capillary action. These droplets can deposit a fluid film during their motion, but despite…
