Investigating the high-strain rate response of additively manufactured 420 stainless steel through material constitutive modelling
This work explores the high-temperature, dynamic deformation behavior of AISI 420 stainless steel (420SS) produced through laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The material exhibits a complex dual-phase microstructure, influencing its dynamic mechanical response. The investigation employs the Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) technique utilizing strain rates of 1000 s−1 and 1500 s−1, and temperatures ranging from...
Epoxidised Philippine natural rubber for tough and versatile 3D printable resins: a mixture design and neural network approach
Natural rubber (NR), valued for its high toughness and elongation, was incorporated into digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing resins to enhance mechanical performance using epoxidised Philippine NR (EPNR), optimised by statistical and machine learning methods. EPNR blends (0–10%) with cationic photo-initiator (CPI) and photo-curable commercial resin (PCR) were formulated using a solvent blending technique....
An on-chip temperature sensor with 0.5 °C resolution and 0.34% linearity error using 180-nm CMOS process
This investigation demonstrates an on-chip temperature sensor with a maximum linear error less than 0.4% and 0.5 °C resolution. The design comprises Current-to-Frequency Converters (CFC), complementary (CTAT), and proportional (PTAT) to absolute temperature current generator circuits. Most important of all, the proposed sensor is featured with the ratio of these two currents to enhance the...
