  • Thermal management of a battery pack using fin-embedded phase change material
    The present study focuses on the numerical investigation of heat transfer from a battery cell surrounded by phase change material (PCM) with longitudinal fins embedded in it. Three-dimensional transient heat conduction equation is solved numerically in the battery domain, whereas the solidification-melting model adopting Enthalpy-Porosity approach is solved in PCM to obtain liquid fraction and temperature distribution. PCM with 16 fins was found to be quite effective in reducing the battery surface temperature compared to 12, 8, and 4 fins. However, the effectiveness of 16 fins is observed up to 1500 sec till the PCM completely melts into liquid. A maximum reduction of 25 K has been achieved at 1500 sec by adding 16 fins to PCM. Beyond 1500 sec, the temperature rises sharply, exceeding all other cases at 2200 sec. Fins play an essential role in augmenting heat transfer, which benefits in achieving the phase change process in less time to restrict the temperature rise; however, at the same time, when the phase change process completes, fins become detrimental to the system since the temperature of the battery starts rising sharply.

  • Preface
    It is our great pleasure to present the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Mechanical, Aeronautical, and Automotive Engineering (ICMAA 2024), held virtually from February 2-4, 2024.

  • Study on the morphology and mechanical properties of dissimilar Al/Al-Li alloy T-joints by friction stir welding
    Friction stir welding is an emerging solid-state joining technology. With the advantages of small post-weld deformation and high connection performance, it is widely used in the aerospace field. In this paper, the FSW welding process of 7055-T61 Al and 2197-T8 Al-Li dissimilar T-shaped stiffened panel was investigated. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of tool shoulder structure and welding parameters on the morphology and mechanical properties of T-joints. It is found that compared with the shoulder inner concave surface without spiral, the weld defects of shoulder inner concave surface with spiral are less. When the welding speed v is 60 mm/min, the rotation speed w is 350 r/min and the plunge depth h is 0.21 mm, the transverse tensile strength of T-joint is 408 MPa, which reaches respectively 68.0% and 71.6% of the base materials 7055-T61 and 2197-T8. It shows that the welding quality of T-joints is better when it is implemented under the optimal combination of welding process parameters.

  • Design of a Robotic 3D Printing System
    Additive manufacturing enables the production of complex shapes with a large degree of freedom compared to conventional manufacturing techniques such as injection molding, thermoforming or pressing. In particular, the creation of moving parts, complex structures and large-scale printing remains underexplored and research is constantly expanding. Due to design limitations related to the construction of currently available printers, 3D printing technology is increasingly being combined with robotics. Using a robot to 3D print products eliminates the need to design complex printer structures, which ultimately should simplify the process of manufacturing large-scale products and shorten the time required for preparation and production. The paper deals with the description of the designed 3D printing system and the procedure of the steps of creating a robotic simulation model with the generation of a control program for the FDM 3D printing process by an industrial robot.
