Smart Materials in Additive Manufacturing, volume 2: 4D Printing Mechanics, Modeling, and Advanced Engineering Applications

by MSc Bodaghi BSc (Editor), MSc Zolfagharian BSc (Editor)

Overview

Smart Materials in Additive Manufacturing, Volume 2 covers the mechanics, modeling, and applications of the technology and the materials produced by it. It approaches the topic from an engineering design perspective with cutting-edge modeling techniques and real-world applications and case studies highlighted throughout. The book demonstrates 4D printing techniques for electro-induced shape memory polymers, pneumatic soft actuators, textiles, and more. Modeling techniques with ABAQUS and machine learning are outlined, as are manufacturing techniques for highly elastic skin, tunable RF and wireless structures and modules, and 4D printed structures with tunable mechanical properties. Closed-loop control of 4D printed hydrogel soft robots, hierarchical motion of 4D printed structures using the temperature memory effect, multimaterials 4D printing using a grasshopper plugin, shape reversible 4D printing, and variable stiffness 4D printing are each discussed as well. - Outlines cutting-edge techniques, structural design, modeling, simulation, and tools for application-based 4D printing - Details design, modeling, simulation, and manufacturing considerations for various fields - Includes case studies demonstrating real-world situations where the techniques and concepts discussed were successfully deployed - Applications covered include textiles, soft robotics, auxetics and metamaterials, micromachines, sensors, bioprinting, and wireless devices - Covers the mechanics, manufacturing processes and applications of 4D-printed smart materials and structures - Discusses applications in civil, mechanical, aerospace, polymer and biomedical engineering - Presents experimental, numerical and analytical studies in a simple and straightforward manner, providing tools that can be immediately implemented and adapted by readers to fit their work
