Lightweighting Done Right: New Design Guidelines for Aluminum Foam Sandwich Aluminum foam sandwich (AFS) is a promising material for building lightweight structures. However, its full potential remains unrealized due to a lack of design knowledge among engineers. A recent study by Patrick Hommel; Daniel Roth; Binz, Hansgeorg; and Matthias Kreimeyer from University of Stuttgart explore the development and evaluation of design guidelines to address this challenge (ICED 23 Proceedings). https://lnkd.in/gkhdCnPi Join the "Design is a Team Sport" movement at ICED25 Dallas. What are some of the biggest challenges associated with adopting new materials like AFS in engineering design? How can design guidelines be developed to effectively bridge the knowledge gap between material properties and practical application?

A small invention that changed the construction industry worldwide. Artur Fischer, a German inventor, is known for having invented the plastic dowel, also known as the "Fischer dowel", in 1958. This small invention revolutionized the construction industry by providing a simple and effective solution for fastening objects to walls made of concrete, brick or other solid materials. The Fischer anchor consists of a small plastic cylinder with wings on the outside that expand when inserted into a drilled hole in the wall. This creates a firm and secure anchorage for screws, nails or any other type of fixing. This innovation has changed the DIY and construction industry forever by making it much easier and safer to fix objects to walls. Fischer also has numerous other inventions and patents that underline his role as one of the most important German inventors of the 20th century. #engineering #science #technology

In the latest Leadership Message on #PDREdge, Tanaya Srini, senior advisor for #innovation, discusses how #Alaska’s unique housing challenges, including harsh climates and logistical difficulties, drive the exploration of 3D concrete printing (3DCP) as an affordable housing solution. HUD has invested in a mobile 3DCP unit to test its viability in Alaska’s subarctic region. This initiative, funded by a $600,000 grant, aims to reduce construction costs, lessen reliance on imported materials, and provide resilient housing capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions. The project, in collaboration with Penn State University and local partners, will focus on the adaptability and #sustainability of 3DCP for remote communities. The findings could have broader implications for addressing the housing crisis nationwide. Read more on HUD User’s #PDREdge: https://lnkd.in/ek3xuPji

We are thrilled to unveil our video showcasing the Hybrid Flax Pavilion at the Landesgartenschau Wangen im Allg?u 2024 GmbH, Germany. The pavilion constitutes a central exhibition building on the grounds of the Landesgartenschau, located on the winding banks of the recently revitalised Argen River. Its design utilises integrative computational methods to seamlessly incorporate input from various specialists across different fields, bridging the gap between research and industry. This approach encompasses not only the design of hybrid fibre-timber components but also considers interfaces to conventional building elements like the fa?ade and roof, taking into account their interconnected geometric and constructional requirements. This methodology facilitated an iterative design process, allowing for adjustments and optimisations at every stage of development across all involved disciplines. The coreless filament winding process utilised in the production of the fibre elements allows for the selective local deposition of material driven by specific structural, architectural, and material requirements. In contrast to conventional fibre composite fabrication processes, this is achieved without the need for a surface mould, as the winding frame is co-designed with the fibre element so that the element’s final fibre body emerges in the winding process as the equilibrium state of all fibre segments interacting. This project required adaptation of the coreless filament winding process to accommodate the natural flax fibre material system and unique geometric form of the fibre body of the hybrid component.

I am not a marine scientist, but I love the sea, engaging with it above and below the surface and from its sandy shores. Near daily engagement has made me acutely aware of the sea's extraordinary power and her fragility; with increased pollution and water temps rising, marine life and coastlines are increasingly threatened. 97% of Earth's water found in oceans, thus protecting our marine environment is critical and requires innovation, and collaboration to create solutions that are durable, cost effective, time efficient and sustainable. In reading an AgTech email that hit my inbox, it was great to learn about the marine projects undertaken and in collaboration with CyBe Construction, a specialist in 3D Concrete Printing. 3D concrete printing is employed to design and create complex marine structures, such as coral reefs, sea walls and barnacles to support marine environments. The structures provide sanctuary for marine life, help coral reefs recover, protect coastlines and as in the Miami seawall colab with Kind Designs, also monitors water quality. In colab with Seaboost in France, an artificial reef structure was printed, whilst here in New Zealand, the 'Barnacle' collaboration with CyBe, QOROX? and Eke Panuku Development Auckland aims to improve the ocean’s well-being by creating a rockpool effect, mimicking coral reefs in their function of providing microhabitats sea life. There is also a sustainable bent, including using recycled materials in the concrete to lower the carbon footprint by 32%. I look forward to understanding this in greater detail. Love to hear feedback from any of the projects and / or commentary on the projects mentioned or others. https://lnkd.in/gcptvbaV #AgTech #AgScience #MarineScience #3DTechnology #Circularity #sustainability #science

In a groundbreaking move, railway stations across the UK are set to receive innovative 3D printed toilets, offering a cutting-edge solution to an age-old problem. The concrete pods, which can be printed in just five hours, are part of a wider trend of technological advancements in the construction industry. Meanwhile, the Chancellor is expected to axe the Stonehenge tunnel project to address a ￡20bn budget deficit, while building safety provisions have soared to ￡116m. In other news, a developer has struck a deal with Lloyds to fund a major student scheme in Stratford, and a new contractor has been appointed for the West Denton leisure centre job. Equitix consortium is set to work on DBFO plans for the University of Manchester's Fallowfield Campus, and HS2 contractors will build nine viaducts using a special cantilevered process. The construction industry is also seeing significant investments, with ￡800m to be spent on London's development pipeline in the next five years. However, the industry is not without its challenges, as Bam Construction reports a ￡19.5m first-half loss due to the Co-op Live arena project, and a ￡139m-turnover luxury fit out specialist has delayed payments to its supply chain.
