DS-16-147 DEAAG Project Update
The ARAC project is on schedule and within budget. Design was completed in August 2016 and construction bids were received in September 2016. Construction is scheduled to begin in October 2016 and be completed by August 2017. The project is funded through a $5 million DEAAG grant with contributions from Fort Hood and the Killeen Economic Development Corporation. As of September 2016, $478,690 had been expended on design work contracts with Garver and KAYA Associates, leaving a remaining balance of $4.7 million. An update was provided on supplemental agreements to the Garver design contract to accommodate additional requirements and modifications.
Topology optimization to guide the architecture of a BIW structure, challenge...
For automotive industry, lightweight design is one of the five key factors among engine enhancement, aerodynamics, rolling resistance and energy management to overcome challenges due to environmental regulations. Thanks to new developments, recent models weigh 140 kg to 200 kg lighter than their predecessors. But to achieve more ambitious objectives in vehicle weight, structural design optimization is necessary at all stages of the design process. This presentation shows how topology optimization could be used very early to guide the body-in-white design and reach the best compromises between the vehicle performance expectations and the architecture constraints. We first remind how applying topology optimization for sheet metal design remains difficult. Then we explain the conditions for a success. The complete optimization process is detailed from the computation model building phase to the optimization results and their complex conversion into a design made from stamped or folded parts. Finally we conclude with a short summary about the topology optimization method and highlight some remained issues.

Developing Commercial Vehicles Inspired by Nature
As Germany's largest independent engineering partner to the worldwide automotive industry, EDAG is continuously seeking for new technologies and innovative processes to streamline vehicle development. EDAG has a profound expertise in integrated development and the optimization of vehicles, production facilities, derivatives, and modules. To meet fuel efficiency and emission reduction goals, structurally efficient lightweight designs are demanded in the development of passenger cars and commercial vehicles alike. To fulfill customer demands and to deliver lighter and yet fully functional and validated components in shorter time, EDAG is leveraging its engineering knowledge to combine state-of-the-art computer aided engineering tools, in this case Altair's OptiStruct, with new production technologies such as additive manufacturing. OptiStruct enabled the EDAG engineers to design lightweight and, by being inspired by nature, yet stiff structures of a cabin and a chassis. The components were then manufactured using additive manufacturing methods. To find the optimal solution for the final design the engineers later also conducted multi-physical optimizations, combining strength and crash demands of the vehicle, using an equivalent linear approach. The entire development and manufacturing process for the cabin and chassis structures will be subject of this presentation, showing how a combination of topology optimization and additive manufacturing leads to lighter and stiffer products. The project is a prime example of how mature CAE technology can be adjusted and used in combination with new manufacturing methods to introduce revolutionary structural enhancements within the transportation sector.

150616 Progress Update WP2 (Bram Westerweel)
This document introduces work package two (WP2) which focuses on advanced manufacturing and after sales service supply chain design. WP2 will examine strategic supply chain design decisions like the optimal number of echelons, resource positioning, and resource allocation while accounting for costs and demand. It will also analyze more technical aspects like minimal repair and level of repair analysis. WP2 will build upon work from package one on product and process characteristics and work with package three on inventory theory evaluation. An example problem presented is a facility location model to determine when and where to invest in additive manufacturing technology for spare parts production over time. The results of this model would depend on the input parameters and specify uncertainty in additive manufacturing development.
150616 Quickscan Royal Netherlands Army (Gino Balistreri)
1) The document analyzes the potential for additive manufacturing (AM) in the after-sales service supply chains of ground-based weapon systems for the Royal Netherlands Army.
2) It identifies around 20% of parts as very promising for AM based on logistical and economic criteria, though only 165 parts were deemed technologically feasible.
3) The primary application of AM is concluded to be securing spare part supply, while also potentially improving service and reducing costs.
150616 Quickscan Thales (Antoine Katgert)
This document discusses how additive manufacturing (3D printing) could positively influence Thales' after-sales service. It first outlines why AM may be suitable for Thales, such as producing low volumes of complex parts with varying demand. The document then analyzes data on critical and general spare parts lists to identify parts that score high based on criteria like lead time, price and size. Preliminary conclusions suggest AM possibilities for injection molded casings and parts with long lead times and high impact. Questions remain around fully utilizing AM's potential and how it could improve Thales' after-sales service.

This document discusses a preliminary study on using selective laser melting (SLM) technology to repair existing metal products through additive manufacturing. SLM uses a laser to fuse metal powder layer by layer, allowing for precise geometries and mechanical properties. The study will focus on repairing high-end components like aero engine and turbine parts by combining additive manufacturing with conventional repair techniques. Test specimens will be additively manufactured from Inconel 718 using different SLM processing parameters, then analyzed through microstructural, porosity and hardness testing to evaluate the results and describe an optimal repair procedure.
150616 Progress Update WP3 (Nils Knofius)
The document discusses three models related to sourcing spare parts:
1) Whether to continue traditional manufacturing, change to additive manufacturing, or use both for sourcing spare parts. Key aspects like failure behavior and logistical/economic parameters were considered.
2) Whether additive manufacturing's ability to consolidate components into one part could impact decisions around repairing vs replacing parts. Potential benefits include reduced costs and lead times but repair by component replacement may no longer be possible.
3) Whether investment in additive manufacturing equipment could be justified through a set of printable spare parts and potential pooling effects to reduce variable costs and lead times, versus external sourcing which may have quality, confidentiality and lead time concerns.

The meeting concludes with planning future student projects and follow up activities.
Quickscan Fokker Services (Casper Sterkman)
This document summarizes a bachelor's thesis that analyzes how additive manufacturing (3D printing) could impact the after-sales services supply chain at Fokker Services B.V. The author identifies four key areas where 3D printing could help reduce costs: 1) addressing obsolescence issues when original parts are no longer available, 2) providing a lower-cost production alternative for some spare parts, 3) enabling part consolidation through redesign, and 4) potentially allowing for decentralization if airline operators invest in 3D printing. A data model is used to identify 235 spare parts that could benefit from 3D printing. Further analysis of 15 parts found 4 that are suitable for 3D printing and likely to provide cost savings
160615 Quickscan JLG (Stijn Verputten)
This document summarizes a study conducted on the potential logistical impact of additive manufacturing on the after-sales service supply chains of JLG Industries. The study identified over 800 promising spare parts for additive manufacturing by filtering a database of over 74,000 parts. These parts were then scored based on attributes like demand, lead time, cost and inventory turnover rate. The top 50 parts were further reviewed, resulting in the selection of 4 initial parts for additive manufacturing, including a stop lift cylinder, rear window latch, kingpin, and heater water valve. Next steps involve determining the minimum quality and maximum cost requirements for additively manufacturing the selected parts.

2016 Comparison of Application Processor Packaging - teardown reverse costing...
Comparison of main players AP: Apple A10 with inFO vs. Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 with MCeP packaging technology vs. HiSilicon Kirin 955 & Samsung Exynos 8 with standard Package-on-Package
Five major players are sharing the smartphone application processors (AP) market. Among them, Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung and HiSilicon propose the most powerful AP. They use almost the same technology node for the die, and the innovation is now at the packaging level. During this year, we observed different technologies inside the four main smartphone flagships: classic Package-on-Package (PoP) developed by Amkor for the Kirin 955 and for the Exynos 8, Molded Core Embedded Package (MCeP) technology developed by Shinko for the Snapdragon 820 and integrated Fan-Out packaging (inFO) developed by TSMC for the A10.
Located under the DRAM chip on the main board, the AP are packaged using PoP technology. The Apple A10 can be found in the iPhone 7 series. The HiSilicon Kirin 955 can be found in the Huawei P9 and the Samsung Exynos 8 as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 can be found in the Samsung Galaxy S7 series depending on the world version (US and Asia for the Snapdragon and International for the Exynos).
In this report, we highlight the differences and the innovations of the packages chosen by the end-user OEMs. Whereas some AP providers like for HiSilicon or Samsung choose to consider conventional PoP with embedded land-side capacitor (LSC), others like Apple or Qualcomm use innovative technologies like Fan-Out PoP and silicon based Deep Trench LSC or embedded die packaging with advanced PCB substrate. The detailed comparison between the four players will give the pros and the cons of the packaging technologies.
This report also compares the costs of the different approaches and includes a detailed technical comparison between the packaging structure of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, the Samsung Exynos 8, the HiSilicon Kirin 955 and the Apple A10.

Recommendations include reconsidering inventory for parts causing downtime and further research on 3D printing applications and impacts.
170614 Progress Update WP2 (Bram Westerweel)
The document discusses on-site additive manufacturing of spare parts. It presents a model for analyzing the costs and benefits of using on-site 3D printing of spare parts compared to regular replenishments and expediting. The model finds that on-site 3D printing can lower operational costs by decreasing optimal inventory levels and replacing expediting as the preferred emergency supply method late in the replenishment cycle. A case study on printing a carter-plug part for military vehicles found potential savings of over 10%. However, further research is still needed to determine if the investment in on-site 3D printing capabilities outweighs the costs and to establish best practices for temporary versus failure-based use of 3D printed parts.
170614 Progress Update WP1 (Laura Cordova Gonzalez)
The document discusses powder reuse for additive manufacturing. It provides an update on recent conference presentations and collaborations. It introduces why additive manufacturing and powder reuse are investigated, including cost and sustainability benefits. Methods for characterizing virgin and reused metal powders are described, examining particle size distribution, shape, composition, internal pores, and other properties. Results show reused powders tend to increase slightly in size distribution and experience minor shape changes. Composition and contamination risks are also discussed. Next steps focus on further analyzing mechanical properties and moisture content of reused powders.
170614 Progress Update WP3 (Nils Knofius)
This document discusses numerical experiments and a case study on dual sourcing spare parts using both conventional manufacturing (CM) and additive manufacturing (AM). The key findings are:
1) Dual sourcing can provide cost savings over single sourcing from CM or AM alone, especially when backorder or holding costs are high. Even with higher AM part costs or failure rates, dual sourcing is beneficial.
2) With dual sourcing, the AM source is typically used for emergency resupply due to its higher costs. The proportion fulfilled by AM decreases as its costs or failure rates increase.
3) Applying dual sourcing to a hinge bracket case study showed limited savings due to high AM part certification costs
170614 Project Progress Update (Matthieu van der Heijden)

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Pushing the limits of ePRTC: 100ns holdover for 100 days

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
