"Effects of Heat Treatment and Geometry on Mechanical Properties and Precipitate Development in Martensitic Additively Manufactured 17-4PH" has been published in Materials Science and Engineering: A. This paper results from research Connor has done in collaboration with NASA and coauthored by Dr. Devin Burns (NASA Langley).
Connor Varney successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation titled Microstructural Investigation of the Influence of Geometry on the Mechanical Reliability of Additively Manufactured Metals. Great work and congratulations Dr. Varney!
Nic Quammen successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation titled Experimental Characterization and Quantification of Deformation Behavior in a Porous Carbon Fiber Network. Congratulations Dr. Quammen!
Two papers written by Nic have been recently published in Heliyon and the AIAA Journal. Links to them here:
Influence of Complex Geometries on Damage Tolerance of Porous Carbon Fiber Network
Local strain quantification of a porous carbon fiber network material
"Depth-dependent microstructure and mechanical properties of hot rolled AA7075" has been published in Materials Science and Engineering: A. This paper results from research Alewi has done in collaboration with the Army Reserach Lab and Prof. Haluk Karaca's group (ME, UK).
Nic recently presented a paper titled "Experimental Quantification of Fracture and Crack Growth in a Porous Carbon Fiber Material" at the AIAA SCITECH 2024 Forum in Orlando, FL. This research was supported by NASA Kentucky.
"Quantifying the Microstructure and Mechanical Property Differences between Bulk and Thin-wall Additively Manufactured Inconel 718" was just published in the journal Materialia. The manuscript was primarily written by Connor Varney, but both Tylee and Imran contributed significantly toward generating and analyzing the data presented in it. Great work!
Alewi and Connor traveled to San Diego, CA to present their research. Connor gave two talks on his mechanical characterization of thin walled Inconel 718 and presented a poster on Nic's research. Alewi presented a poster detailing his microstructural characterization of a hot-rolled 7075 aluminum alloy.
Nic presented a paper titled "Quantification of Directionally Dependent Mechanical Properties and Damage Tolerance of FiberForm" at the 2023 AIAA meeting.
A paper written by Nic titled "Investigation of Low Temperature Oxidation Behavior of MoNbTaW Thin Films" has been published in the Journal of Alloys and Compounds. Link to the paper here.
At the Second World Congress on High Entropy Alloys Nic gave a presentation titled "High-Throughput Characterization and Testing of MoNbTaW Multi-Principal Element Alloy for Combinatorial Analysis" and presented a poster titled "Investigation of the Initial Stages of Oxidation in MoNbTaW and Comparison to Pure W."
