🏭 We're thrilled to introduce our latest research project: FatSAM: Twinning for excellence in TÜBITAK on the fatigue simulation of additive manufactured parts 🛠️ Additive Manufacturing (AM) stands tall as one of the cornerstones of Advanced Manufacturing, recognized by the European Commission as a Key Enabling Technology (KET). This technology not only propels Europe towards a Green and Digital Economy but also holds immense promise for transformative growth. The global additive manufacturing market is projected to soar to $40.2 billion by 2027, and the fatigue-resistant additive manufacturing parts market is expected to witness a remarkable 12.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2022 to 2027. This collaborative project will help build a stronger, more sustainable manufacturing sector in Europe. 🔬 Fatigue life evaluation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) parts poses a unique challenge due to its inherent discreteness. The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) will leverage its robust infrastructure and extensive experience in fatigue tests on various superalloys, especially Ni-based high-performance alloys. 🤝 In a collaborative effort, the International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) and Luleå University of Technology (LTU) have joined hands to bolster TÜBITAK's research capabilities in simulation fields crucial to the success of the FatSAM project. Through a multifaceted approach, including skills acquisition, networking opportunities, workshops, short courses, joint participation in conferences, and scientific publications, the partnership aims to elevate TÜBITAK's research management to new horizons. 🚅 The FatSAM project will foster knowledge exchange and collaboration through various initiatives, including short-term stays of TÜBITAK senior researchers at CIMNE and LTU, externships for young researchers, and specialized training programs on project management and administration. 🚀 We're so excited to embark on this journey of innovation and collaboration, driving advancements in Additive Manufacturing and contributing to the realization of a sustainable, digital future.

Excited to share the work we presented at the International Conference on Electrical Machines (ICEM) 2024 in Turin! Our research, conducted at the Department of Industrial and Information Engineering and Economics of L'Aquila, explores how synchronous reluctance motors (SynRMs) can make a quantum leap in performance, rivaling that of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs)—without relying on rare earth materials. By leveraging additive manufacturing and machine learning, we’ve unlocked new possibilities for SynRMs, enabling higher performance while promoting sustainability. This breakthrough aligns perfectly with the principles of a circular economy, reducing dependency on scarce resources and improving recyclability. A big step forward for both innovation and environmental responsibility! A special thanks to Professor Emeritus Enzo Chiricozzi, co-author of this work, for his invaluable contribution. #ICEM2024 #SustainableTechnology #AdditiveManufacturing #MachineLearning #CircularEconomy #ElectricMotors #Univaq #PoliTO

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to present my research at the 10th International Conference on Material Science & Smart Materials (MSSM), hosted by the esteemed Vassilis Stathopoulos, Hussam Jouhara, Abdul Ghani Olabi, and Dr. Marialuisa Acquaviva at the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens A special thank you to my supervisor, Awotwe Tabbi Wilberforce, for his invaluable guidance and support, through his transition from Aston University to King's College London; as well as my partner Rohan Sahota (MEng Hons). During the conference, I had the privilege to present my findings on the use of various Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) Bipolar Plates (BPPs). My research focused on developing a novel intricate anode channel design using an iterative design method and continuous improvement. The results were remarkable, achieving a 67% weight reduction, 50% height reduction in an 11-cell stack, and a 97% performance increase at standard operating voltages. The study encompassed: - Material selection analysis comparisons, aiming to achieve specific material criteria through additive manufacturing methods, - Thermal simulations to analyse conductivity of various structures and impact on GDL drying, - Mechanical/bending simulations to ensure structural changes and channel optimisation did not impact rigidity or strength performance, - Developing fuel cell polarisation curves through CFD, to optimise performance on set operating characteristics, - Quality assurance via SEM/cloud point analysis, surface roughness, and warping tests, to validate the accuracy and capabilities of various manufacturing methods. This conference provided a fantastic platform to discuss the implications of my findings on industry, commercialisation, and technology progression. It highlighted the need for future advancements in material science, particularly high-temperature polymers with conductive properties, to further enhance the performance of fuel cells. I'm excited about the future and the potential for additive manufacturing to revolutionise fuel cell design by creating more complex, lighter, and higher-performing units.
