Misalignment issues of the PWPT system have been addressed. The intercell power transformer has been introduced in order to improve load sharing of the system during a mismatch of the primary single-phase coil and the secondary multi-phase coils.
System and method for part porosity monitoring of additively manufactured components using machining
In additive manufacturing, choice of process parameters for a given material and geometry can result in porosities in the build volume, which can result in scrap.
The lack of real-time insights into how materials evolve during laser powder bed fusion has limited the adoption by inhibiting part qualification. The developed approach provides key data needed to fabricate born qualified parts.
The use of biomass fiber reinforcement for polymer composite applications, like those in buildings or automotive, has expanded rapidly due to the low cost, high stiffness, and inherent renewability of these materials. Biomass are commonly disposed of as waste.
We present the design, assembly and demonstration of functionality for a new custom integrated robotics-based automated soil sampling technology as part of a larger vision for future edge computing- and AI- enabled bioenergy field monitoring and management technologies called
Creating a framework (method) for bots (agents) to autonomously, in real time, dynamically divide and execute a complex manufacturing (or any suitable) task in a collaborative, parallel-sequential way without required human interaction.
Materials produced via additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, can experience significant residual stress, distortion and cracking, negatively impacting the manufacturing process.
An ORNL invention proposes using 3D printing to make conductors with space-filling thin-wall cross sections. Space-filling thin-wall profiles will maximize the conductor volume while restricting the path for eddy currents induction.
The invention is related to the implementation of an bi-directional and isolated electric vehicle charger. The bidirectionality allows the electric vehicles to support the grid in case of disturbances thereby reducing the stress on the existing infrastructure.
