Article presented at the first International Conference on Industrial, Manufacturing, and Process Engineering (ICIMP-2024), Regina, Canada, 27–29 June 2024. Abstract: "This paper investigates active thermography models for non-destructive testing of composites, with a focus on continuous carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic polymer (CCFRTP) components, in order to detect flaws such as porosity ...

Abstract: "Additive manufacturing of advanced materials has become widespread, encompassing a range of materials including thermoplastics, metals, and ceramics. For the ceramics, the complete production process typically involves indirect additive manufacturing, where the green ceramic part undergoes debinding and sintering to achieve its final mechanical and thermal properties. To avoid unnecessary ...

Abstract: "This study investigates the feasibility and effectiveness of two non-destructive testing methods, active thermography and shearography, on 3D-printed thermoplastic (TP) composites reinforced with continuous carbon fiber. Artificial defects were introduced into the composite plate to benchmark the detection capabilities of these non-destructive testing techniques (NDT). Active thermography ...

Abstract en anglais : "The interconnection between engineering simulations, real-world experiments, and virtual reality remains underutilised in engineering. This study addresses this gap by implementing such interconnections, focusing on active thermography for a carbon fibre plate in the aerospace domain. Six scenarios based on three parameters were simulated using ComSol Multiphysics 6.2 and ...

Abstract en anglais : "Material Extrusion (MEX), particularly Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), is the most widespread among the additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. To further its development, understanding the influence of the various printing parameters on the manufactured parts is required. The effects of varying the infill percentage, the number of layers of the top and bottom surfaces ...

Abstract en anglais : "When considering the replacement of fossil fuels, hydrogen emerges as a promising clean fuel alternative. However, significant challenges arise when attempting to store it in its gaseous state. To accommodate a substantial mass of hydrogen, storage necessitates high pressures. Desired characteristics for hydrogen storage tanks include high tensile strength, low density, ...

Abstract : "This paper deals with the numerical modelling of non-destructive testing of composite parts using active thermography. This method has emerged as a new approach for performing non-destructive testing (NDT) on continuous carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic polymer (CCFRTP) components, particularly in view of detecting porosity or delamination. In this context, our numerical model has ...

Abstract ; "Nowadays, the additive manufacturing of multifunctional materials is booming. The fused deposition modeling (FDM) process is widely used thanks to the ease with which multimaterial parts can be printed. The main limitation of this process is the mechanical properties of the parts obtained. New continuous-fiber FDM printers significantly improve mechanical properties. Another limitation ...

Abstract : "The innovative Green Ceramic Hybrid Machining (GCHM) process sequentially combines milling with a cutting tool (GCM, Green Ceramic Machining) and laser beam machining (GCLBM) of a ceramic material (black Y-TZP in this study) at the green stage mainly to increase productivity, avoid taper angle limitations of laser beam machining, and obtain micro-features. The study focuses on ...

"This paper proposes a portable 3D printed test set-up allowing to realize this transient measurement while ensuring no interaction with the outside world. Moreover the setup proposes a variation of distance to favor or not the interaction of the semiconductor with the ionizing radiation source. The main advantages of the proposed 3D setup is its adaptability to any kind of radiation source geometry ...
