Modelling Thermoplastic Filaments’ Sintering by Level Set Method

On surface tension modelling using the level set method

The paper describes and compares the performance of two options for numerically representing the surface tension force in combination with the level set interface-tracking method. In both models, the surface tension is represented as a body force, concentrated near the interface, but the technical implementation is different: the first model is based on a traditional level set approach in which...

Level Set Method for Thin

A BINARY LEVEL SET METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION

This paper proposes an effective algorithm based on the level set method (LSM) to solve shape and topology optimization problems. Since the conventional LSM has several limitations, a binary level set method (BLSM) is used instead. In the BLSM, the level set function can only take 1 and -1 values at convergence. Thus, it is related to phase-field methods. We don’t need to solve the Hamilton-Jac...

8YSZ sintering by flash sintering method and evaluation of process parameters

Flash sintering as a new sintering method for sintering of ceramic materials has been studied and effect of various parameter such as flash current density, time of flash and contact paste on properties of flash sintered 8YSZ samples has been investigated. Results showed it is possible to achieve high density in shorter time and lower temperature than conventional sintering methods. Samples cou...
