New design & evaluation strategies for rapid implementation of 3D printing technologies in gas turbines

在之前的一项研究中，西门子支持萨姆·卡奇波尔-史密斯博士(UON博士毕业于2019年)的工作。这项工作的中心是为燃气轮机的热传输应用设计和评估新的格子结构。项目成果被认为是一个巨大的成功，这现在正在为企业内喷嘴导向静脉的新设计的开发提供信息。这项工作的目的是进一步扩大设计和评价方法，以支持新领域的业务活动。这仍然是一个根本性的挑战，因为制定、制造和实施解决方案的道路是艰难的。这个项目将解决两个新零件制造的自动化设计和评估流程方面的挑战。在开始时，学生将根据前一个项目中获得的理解，使用数值方法来审计优势机会。这将被用来确定重新设计的目标案例研究。在需要热评估的地方，学生将使用UON提供的定制设施。金泽大学拥有独特的“混合”制造设备，该设备没有经过评估，用于这里建议的结构。因此，学生将从与核心项目密切相关的国际体验中受益。

In a previous study Siemens supported the work of Dr Sam Catchpole-Smith (UoN PhD grad (2019)). The work centred around designing and evaluating new lattice configurations for heat transfer applications in gas turbines. The project outcomes were considered a great success and this is now informing the development of new designs for nozzle guide veins within the business. The purpose of the present work is to expand the design and evaluate methodology still further to support business activities in new areas. This remains a fundamental challenge since the route to devising solutions, manufacturing and implementing them is arduous. This project will address challenges around automated design and evaluated processes for both new part manufacture.Upon initiation the student will audit using numerical methods the opportunities for advantage based on the understanding acquired in the preceding project. This will be used to identify target case studies for redesign. Where thermal evaluation is required the student will make use of custom built facilities available at UoN.Kanazawa University boasts unique 'hybrid' fabrication apparatus which has not be evaluated for the purposes of the structures proposed here. Hence the student will benefit from an international experience well aligned to the core project.
