Characterisation of the anisotropic mechanical properties of carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is an additive manufacturing (AM) process of creating solid, three-dimensional objects from a digital file. During this additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers ... -
The design and development of a vehicle chassis for a Formula SAE competition car
(2014)The Formula SAE is a student based competition organised by SAE International where engineering students from a university design, develop and test a formula-style race car prototype to compete against other universities. ... -
Development of a design cycle for an additively manufactured aircraft rudder bracket
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2021)For traditional manufacturing processes, the variation of component quality and mechanical properties exists but these can be minimised by the implementation of process controls. Hence, it becomes key to define the full ... -
Evaluation of finite element analysis on topology optimized direct metal laser sintered TI6Al4V structures
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The problem under investigation in this dissertation is the validity of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) when applied to topology optimized Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) structures manufactured from Ti6AL4V with the ...
