3D-printing process design of lattice compressor impeller based on residual stress and deformation.

ABSTRACT: The application of a lattice structure in the lightweight design of compressor impellers can reduce their mass and moment of inertia, hence improving the effective carrying of aircraft and reducing the start and braking moments of the impeller. The feasibility of a processing-lattice compressor impeller is the prerequisite for its application. To control the residual deformation and residual stress effectively, a computer-aided design technique is used to simulate the manufacturing process of a compressor impeller. The residual deformation and stress of the compressor impeller during the additive manufacturing process is calculated. The material-stacking process and base-plate- and support-removal process of a TiAl6V4 impeller printed by an SLM280 metal 3D printer are simulated by the finite-element method. The results show that some change in the laser printing parameters leads to a significant impact on the residual stress and deformation amplitude of the impeller. The residual deformation and residual stress of the lattice compressor impeller with the same geometrical appearance after processing are less than the corresponding amplitude of the solid compressor impeller, which also shows that the printed lattice compressor impeller can more easily achieve the design requirements.

Project description:Pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann methods (LBMs) can simulate a phase transition in high-density ratio multiphase flow systems. If coupled with thermal LBMs through equation of state, they can be used to study instantaneous phase transition phenomena with a high-temperature gradient where only one set of formulations in an LBM system can handle liquid, vapor, phase transition, and heat transport. However, at lower temperatures an unrealistic spurious current at the interface introduces instability and limits its application in real flow system. In this study, we proposed new modifications to the LBM system to minimize a spurious current which enables us to study nucleation dynamic at room temperature. To demonstrate the capabilities of this approach, the thermal ejection process is modeled as one example of a complex flow system. In an inkjet printer, a thermal pulse instantly heats up the liquid in a microfluidic chamber and nucleates bubble vapor providing the pressure pulse necessary to eject droplets at high speed. Our modified method can present a more realistic model of the explosive vaporization process since it can also capture a high-temperature/density gradient at nucleation region. Thermal inkjet technology has been successfully applied for printing cells, but cells are susceptible to mechanical damage or death as they squeeze out of the nozzle head. To study cell deformation, a spring network model, representing cells, is connected to the LBM through the immersed boundary method. Looking into strain and stress distribution of a cell membrane at its most deformed state, it is found that a high stretching rate effectively increases the rupture tension. In other words, membrane deformation energy is released through creation of multiple smaller nanopores rather than big pores. Overall, concurrently simulating multiphase flow, phase transition, heat transfer, and cell deformation in one unified LB platform, we are able to provide a better insight into the bubble dynamic and cell mechanical damage during the printing process.
