We have been working to adapt background oriented schlieren (BOS) imaging to directly visualize building leakage, which is fast and easy.
This manufacturing method uses multifunctional materials distributed volumetrically to generate a stiffness-based architecture, where continuous surfaces can be created from flat, rapidly produced geometries.
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 incorporation of low embodied carbon building materials in the enclosure is increasing the fuel load for fire, increasing the demand for fire/flame retardants.
A valve solution that prevents cross contamination while allowing for blocking multiple channels at once using only one actuator.
Materials produced via additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, can experience significant residual stress, distortion and cracking, negatively impacting the manufacturing process.
This work seeks to alter the interface condition through thermal history modification, deposition energy density, and interface surface preparation to prevent interface cracking.
Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the incremental buildup of monolithic components with a variety of materials, and material deposition locations.
The traditional window installation process involves many steps. These are becoming even more complex with newer construction requirements such as installation of windows over exterior continuous insulation walls.
