Simulating large deformation processes using an explicit element-free Galerkin method: with applications to material forming
… to inform manufacturing strategies. <br/><br/>A forming technique that has benefited from this increased computational power is the stretch blow moulding (SBM) process, which is the primary manufacturing technique used to produce polymer bottles for the water and soft drinks industry. The finite …

Effect of electric fields on the synthesis of nanoparticles of tin and silicon in a liquid environment
… interface. The laser beam vaporizes the target material forming a plasma plume which contains ions, electrons, nanoparticles, and nano clusters. High pressures, high temperatures and high energy densities are created in this method. These conditions are favorable for the formation of metastable …

Forming of advanced composite materials
Two significant aspects of advanced composite material forming are examined. First, the fiber deformation of aligned fiber composites formed to double curvature parts is analyzed. Aligned fiber composite lay-ups were formed over hemispherical tools and the fiber deformation was mapped. The data …

The numerical modelling of transformation induced plasticity in the deep drawing of stainless steel
Sheet metal forming processes are an important part of many manufacturing operations today. The numerical simulation of these processes has become an important aspect in the design of the processes and in the understanding of the material forming itself. This thesis document describes the …

Enhancement In Electrochemical Performance Of Advanced Battery Electrodes Using Carbon- Nanomaterial Composites
… has attracted great interest as a cathode material for lithium ion batteries due to its reasonably high theoretical capacity (170mAh/g), thermal stability, high Li ion reversibility and low cost. However, prohibitively low electronic conductivity (~10-9 S/cm) of LiFePO4 leads to high …

Oxygen permeation and thermo-chemical stability of oxygen separation membrane materials for the oxyfuel process
… separation membranes. Some of the most promising materials for this application are mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) materials with perovskite and K2NiF4 perovskite-related structures. The present work examines the selection of La0.58Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-delta (LSCF58), La2NiO4+delta, …
