Research Opportunities for Undergraduates Title:  Laser micromachining of glasses and polymers The research is to investigate the effects of various process parameters on forming microchannels on polymers and glasses.  To this end the student will carry out the following tasks: Literature review of related field Design experiments and carry out systematic parametric study on the relationship between process parameters and microchannel quality. Characterize the resultant microchannel quality using various optical measurement techniques. Optimize the process parameters to achieve the best quality and throughput. Generate a technical report summarizing all the… Read more Research Opportunities in Micromachining →

Research Opportunities in Additive Manufacturing

Leave a Comment

Research Opportunity for Undergraduates Title: Characterization of mechanical properties of additive manufactured metal parts This study is to investigate the tensile strength and failure characteristics of metal alloy parts built by additive manufacturing.   Additive manufacturing is gaining global popularity due to its unprecedented capabilities that it can provide.   One of the challenges remaining for wide spread industrial use of AM is to predict/control the resultant mechanical properties.   Additive manufacturing due to its nature of localized heating and solidification layer by layer inherently produces non-homogeneous microstructure.  This study is to establish… Read more Research Opportunities in Additive Manufacturing →
