A number of experiments was conducted to investigate the failure behavior of specimens with an arrangement of three clinched joints under shear tensile loading. These configurations were subjected to shear tensile tests, with force displacement curves recorded for each specimen to provide a detailed characterization of their structural response. The stiffness is modified by altering the specimen width, which has marginal impact on the maximum force. The experimental findings indicate that reducing the specimen stiffness results in a shift in the type of stress, with the failure behavior becoming increasingly influenced by bending stress.

The effect of rotational superimposition on the force-displacement curve of the clinching processes was investigated using four test variants with different kinematics. The primary objective was to evaluate the binding mechanisms that maintain the integrity of the clinched joint. To evaluate the force closure of the resulting joint, two testing methods were employed throughout the course of the research, non-destructive resistance measurement using four-wire sensing method and destructive torsion testing. A crucial factor influencing the efficacy of the process is surface cleanliness, as contaminants between joining partners can impede the effectiveness of the clinched joint. Therefore, all specimens were meticulously cleaned prior to experimentation.

While semiconducting metal oxides such as In2O3 can monitor gas concentrations down to the ppm range, they often exhibit cross-sensitivity to other gases like H2O. In this study, we investigated whether cyclic optical illumination of a gas-sensitive In2O3 layer creates identifiable changes in a gas sensor´s electronic resistance that can be linked to H2 and H2O concentrations via machine learning. We exposed nanostructured In2O3 with a large surface area of 95 m2 g-1 to H2 concentrations (0-800 ppm) and relative humidity (0-70%) under cyclic activation utilizing blue light. The sensors were tested for 20 classes of gas combinations. A support vector machine achieved classification rates up to 92.0%, with reliable reproducibility (88.2 ± 2.7%) across five individual sensors using 10-fold cross-validation.

  abstract     = {{<jats:p>The optimization of process parameters in powder Directed Energy Deposition (DED) is essential for achieving consistent, high-quality bead geometries, which directly influence the performance and structural integrity of fabricated components. As a subset of additive manufacturing (AM), the DED process, also referred to as laser metal deposition (LMD), enables precise, layer-by-layer material deposition, making it highly suitable for complex geometries and part repair applications. Critical parameters, such as the laser power, feed rate, powder mass flow, and substrate temperature govern the deposition process, impacting the bead height, width, contact angle, and dilution. Inconsistent control over these variables can lead to defects, such as poor bonding, dimensional inaccuracies, and material weaknesses, ultimately compromising the final product. This paper investigates the effects of various process parameters, specifically the substrate temperature, on bead track geometry in DED processes for stainless steel (1.4404). A specialized experimental setup, integrated within a DED machine, facilitates the controlled thermal conditioning of sample sheets. Using Design of Experiments (DoE) methods, individual bead marks are generated and analyzed to assess geometric characteristics. Regression models, including both linear and quadratic approaches, are constructed to predict machine parameters for achieving the desired bead geometry at different substrate temperatures. Validation experiments confirm the accuracy and reliability of the models, particularly in predicting the bead height, bead width, and contact angle across a broad range of substrate temperatures. However, the models demonstrated limitations in accurately predicting dilution, indicating the need for further refinement. Despite some deviations in measured values, successful fabrication is achieved, demonstrating robust bonding between the bead and substrate. The developed models offer insights into optimizing DED process parameters to achieve desired bead characteristics, advancing the precision and reliability of additive manufacturing technology. Future work will focus on refining the regression models to improve predictions, particularly for dilution, and further investigate non-linear interactions between process variables.</jats:p>}},

By exploring the integration of novel AM techniques such as selective laser melting (SLM) and laser metal deposition (LMD), the study aims to overcome existing limitations like slow build-up rates and limited component resolution. The study’s core objective revolves around the development and validation of a continuous process chain that synergizes different AM routes.

This integrated approach is designed to significantly curtail process times and minimize component costs, thus suggesting an industry-oriented process chain for future manufacturing paradigms. Additionally, the research investigates the production and material behavior of components under varying manufacturing processes, material combinations, and boundary layer materials.

These two components can therefore be joined using the intrinsic joining technique, which is formed by curing the matrix of the FRP component. In this study, for the hybrid joint, unidirectionally pre-impregnated semi-finished products (prepregs) with duromer matrix resin and micro-alloyed HC340LA steel were used. In order to conduct a detailed investigation, the damage mechanisms of intrinsically produced fibre metal laminates (FMLs), a new clamping device, and a novel pressing tool were designed and put into operation. The prepregs were prestressed by applying a preloading force using a specially designed prestressing frame. Hybrid specimens were then produced and subjected to nanoindentation and a shear tensile test. In particular, the effect of the residual stress state by varying the defined prestressing force on the damage mechanisms was studied. The results showed that no fracture patterns occurred in the interface of the specimens without preloading as a result of curing at 120 °C, whereas specimens with preloading failed at the boundary layer in the tensile range. Nevertheless, all specimens cured at 160 °C failed at the boundary layer in the tensile range. Furthermore, it was proven that the force and displacement of the preloaded specimens were promisingly higher than those of the unpreloaded specimens.}},

As a result, the use of aluminum alloys is continuously increasing. Due to poor weldability of aluminum in combination with other materials, mechanical joining technologies like clinching are increasingly used. In order to predict relevant characteristics of clinched joints and to ensure the reliability of the process, it is simulated numerically during product development processes. In this regard the predictive accuracy of the simulated process highly depends on the implemented friction model. In particular, the frictional behavior between the sheet metals affects the geometrical formation of the clinched joint significantly. This paper presents a testing method, which enables to determine the frictional coefficients between sheet metal materials for the simulation of clinching processes. For this purpose, the correlation of interface pressure and the relative velocity between aluminum sheets in clinching processes is investigated using numerical simulation. Furthermore, the developed testing method focuses on the specimen geometry as well as the reproduction of the occurring friction conditions between two sheet metal materials in clinching processes. Based on a methodical approach the test setup is explained and the functionality of the method is proven by experimental tests using sheet metal material EN AW6014. }},

  abstract     = {{Seven novel dirhodium coordination polymers (Rh-2-Ln) (n = 1-7) are prepared by employing bitopic ligands to connect dirhodium nodes. The formation of the framework is confirmed by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and H-1 C-13 cross polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (CP MAS NMR) spectroscopy. Defect sites resulting from incomplete ligand substitution are revealed by F-19 MAS NMR. The random stacking behavior of the frameworks in the obtained solid is analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Rh-2/O interaction in neighboring layers is investigated by diffuse reflectance ultra-violet visible light (DR-UV-vis) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This interaction is relevant to understand the catalytic behavior of various Rh-2-Ln catalysts in the cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate (EDA). In this context, the structure-reactivity relationship is discussed by taking into consideration both interlayer Rh-2/O interactions and steric effects of side chains.}},

  abstract     = {{Superhierarchically rough films are rapidly synthesised on metal substrates via electrochemically triggered self-assembly of meso/macroporous-structured metal-organic framework (MOF) crystals. These coatings are applied to immobilise a functional oil with low surface energy to provide stable coatings repellent to a wide range of hydrophobic as well as hydrophilic fluids. Such omniphobic surfaces are highly interesting for several applications such as anti-fouling, anti-icing, and dropwise condensation, and become easily scalable with the presented bottom-up fabrication approach. As investigated by environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), the presented perfluorinated oil-infused Cu-BTC coating constitutes of a flat liquid-covered surface with protruding edges of octahedral superstructured MOF crystals. Water and non-polar diiodomethane droplets form considerably high contact angles and even low-surface-tension fluids, e.g. acetone, form droplets on the infused coating. The repellent properties towards the test fluids do not change upon extended water spraying in contrast to oil-infused porous copper oxide or native copper surfaces. It is discussed in detail, how the presented electrodeposited MOF films grow and provide a proficient surface morphology to stabilise the functional oil film due to hemiwicking.}},

  abstract     = {{The thermolysis of electrodeposited metal–organic framework (MOF) films represents a novel approach to build supercapacitor electrodes of already electrically contacted MOF-derived high-performance metal oxide/carbon materials which are also highly interesting for other applications. MOFs are widely utilised as precursors to synthesise functional materials by thermal decomposition (pyrolysis, carbonisation). Using electrochemically coated MOF precursor films instead of powder greatly simplifies the processing of such materials and potentially enhances the resulting active materials' performance. In the case of electrochemical energy storage electrodes, the coated substrate later functions as current collector which is well-attached to the active material without the need for any additives. This close connection decreases electron transfer resistances and saves multiple steps of powder formulation and coating. Films of a metal–organic framework based on 1,3,5-benzene-tricarboxylate (BTC) and cobalt(II) cations were electrochemically coated on cobalt foils which act as the Co2+ cation source. Manganese films were electrodeposited and subsequently partly redissolved in a linker-containing electrolyte to achieve Mn/Mn–BTC bilayered films on stainless steel. This procedure extends the method for any kind of current collector material. The films were thermolysed to gain nanostructured metal oxide spinel (Me3O4)/carbon hybrid electrodes. Investigations of the electrochemical properties in regard to supercapacitor applications show that Co3O4/C films exhibit pseudocapacitance and that Mn3O4/C films are suitable for redox electrodes with high-rate capability operating in a wide potential range in aqueous electrolytes. Co–BTC powder was also thermally treated yielding cobalt particles embedded in a graphitic carbon matrix. The pseudocapacitive properties of conventionally coated films of this powder material are limited.}},

  abstract     = {{A model to calculate the locally resolved tangential contact forces of the wheel rail contact with respect to contact kinematics, material and surface properties as well as temperature is introduced. The elasticity of wheel and rail is modeled as an elastic layer consisting of point contact elements connected by springs to each other and to the wheel. Each element has two degrees of freedom in tangential directions. The resulting total stiffness matrix is reduced to calculate only the position of the elements in contact. Friction forces as well as contact stiffnesses are incorporated by a nonlinear force-displacement characteristic, which originates from a detailed contact model. The contact elements are transported through the contact zone in discrete time steps. After each time step an equilibrium is calculated. For all elements, their temperature and its influence on local friction are regarded by calculating friction power and temperature each time step.}},
