Research Opportunities in Additive Manufacturing

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

Undergraduate Intern Opportunity

Prof. Sutherland, Head of Environmental and Ecological Engineering  is hiring an undergraduate intern at his group in June (about four weeks). The intern is expected to work 40 hours per week. The payment is about $15 per hour. The background of the project is digital manufacturing. The tasks of the student are finding relevant research in the area of tolerance allocation in manufacturing processes, and completing a report. The position will be open until the first qualified student is identified. The contact of point is Yue Wang whose email is wang3312@purdue.edu.
