The polymer parts fabricated by Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process deteriorated noticeably in terms of dimensional accuracy due to the thermal processes during the fabrication and cooling phases. Commonly, researchers tend to concentrate on modifying the CAD model or fabricating the parts larger than the nominal then post-processing the artifacts to compensate for shrinkage. This paper investigates the effects of auxetic infill structures on shrinkage compensation. Parts with different internal geometries and infill structures were designed and fabricated via FFF using polylactic acid material. Critical dimensions of these parts were measured on a Coordinate Measuring Machine to observe the effects of different infill patterns on the dimensional accuracy of the parts. Measurement results showed that using an auxetic infill pattern with a symmetrical layout improves the accuracy of the parts significantly.

Use of Fused Filament Fabrication and Stereolithography Methods for the Additive Manufacturing of Horn Antennas
Caliskan, Burak; Capraz, Kenan; Yaman, Ulaş (2023-01-01)
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a rapidly developing set of methods with lots of benefits. This technology promises fast, cheap and lightweight fabrication for the antennas and waveguides. Different AM technologies such as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), Stereolithography (SLA), Material Jetting and Powder Bed Fusion are used to fabricate antennas operating at various frequency bands and provide desirable results. To test the feasibility of the AM technologies for antenna manufacturing, a specific antenna ...
Development of a three-dimensional basin model to evaluate the site effects in the tectonically active near-fault region of Gölyaka basin, Düzce, Turkey
Yousefi-Bavil, Karim; KOÇKAR, MUSTAFA KEREM; Akgün, Haluk (2022-01-01)
© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.The high seismicity and tectonic activity of the study area located in a near-fault region in Gölyaka, Düzce, results in a bedrock geometry highly complex in the sense of faulting and deformation. This makes this area very challenging in terms of a site response study that would aid seismic hazard assessment. This study develops a basin model to evaluate the site effects in the tectonically formed Plio-Quaternary fluvial sedimentary layer...
Role of formulation additives on the properties of thermoplastic polyether ester elastomer-based and carbon fabric-reinforced multilayer composites
Yasar, Miray; Celebi, Hande; Bayram, Göknur (2022-01-01)
© The Author(s) 2022.In this study, multilayer carbon fabric-reinforced composites (CFRC) were manufactured by compression molding technique with the combination of carbon fabric and thermoplastic polyether ester elastomer (TPEE) composites. The TPEE-based polymer layers were prepared as binary, ternary, and quaternary composites using carbon black (CB) or N-(β-aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane (AEAP) modified carbon black (mCB), ethylene-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer (EGMA) and/or paraffin oil. ...

© 2020 The Author(s)This study investigated the fast pyrolysis behaviour of torrefied olive stones, fractionated olive stones and lignocellulosic commercial compounds. Olive stones were reacted in a continuous industrial torrefaction unit. The olive stones were also fractionated into their main components in an organosolv reactor at temperatures from 170 to 190 °C in both the presence and absence of an acidic catalyst. All samples were reacted in a wire mesh reactor at different temperatures (800–1150 °C) a...
