"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 ...

"Standards enabling the objective tolerancing and evaluation of dimensional and geometrical performances of additive manufacturing (AM) printers are still missing. The design, printing and measurements of geometrical benchmark test artefacts (GBTA) is the current solution proposed in literature. However, the current GBTA with fixed dimensions cannot cover most of the available printing area of ...

Abstract : "Laser beam machining of Y-TZP engineering ceramic material is carried out in green stage to increase the material removal rate. The generation of hot spots may cause local sintering of the ceramic material leading to a decrease of the mechanical properties of the final sintered component. This paper presents the implementation of alternative laser beam paths to reduce the hot spots ...

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 ...

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 aims to design an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) able to provide its user, in a numerical and experimental context, with a combination of heating parameters in an active thermography process. This combination allowing the user to reliably detect a known in size and depth delamination, which is one of the most important sources of damages in composite structures. This work ...

Contribution to ESAFORM2021. Abstract : "When modelling a cutting operation, the constitutive model of the machined material is one of the key parameters to obtain accurate and realistic results. Up to now, the Johnson-Cook model is still the most used, even if an increasing number of models, such as the Hyperbolic TANgent (TANH) model, were introduced last years to overcome its limitations and ...

Contribution to "euspen’s 19th International Conference & Exhibition, Bilbao, ES, June 2019" Abstract : "The requirements for quality amelioration of engineered products are increasingly stringent, and specially when the miniaturization and difficult-to-machine materials are considered. The development of hybrid machining processes (HMPs) answers this problem. Indeed, HMPs are variants of ...

Contribution to euspen’s 20th International Conference & Exhibition (Geneva, CH, June 2020) Abstract : "The ceramic microcomponents have very interesting mechanical and thermal properties in an extreme environment such as a high temperature, a corrosive environment, etc. Unfortunately, the principal limitation of ceramic material usage is its shaping because of the brittlness of the material. ...
