An interdisciplinary project connecting several Auburn University faculty and fellow scientists will address the hard-hitting reality that affordable housing is out of reach for many Americans living in rural areas. The study, which spans the disciplines of engineering, chemistry, forest resources and architecture, also draws strongly upon the expertise of scientists at its partner institution,…
Recent Advances and New Approaches for Additive Manufacturing Using Wood and Biomaterials Message from the Guest Editors: “Dear Colleagues, The world is experiencing an unprecedented paradigm shift in fabrication using advanced and additive manufacturing. At the forefront of this shift is the utilization of polymeric and metallic materials. By contrast, wood and other bio-mass-based materials have…
Manish Sakhakarmy, a Graduate Research Assistant at Auburn University, placed in the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) Oral/Poster Competition for my oral presentation entitled, “Comparative study on pyrolysis of Douglas Fir, Eucalyptus, and Poplar for Novolac production”.
An interdisciplinary project connecting several Auburn University faculty and fellow scientists seeks to make strides in future advanced manufacturing, including developing affordable homes constructed via 3D printing. The study, which spans the disciplines of engineering, chemistry, forest resources and architecture, also draws strongly upon the expertise of scientists at its partner institution, the University of Idaho, with Michael Maughan,…
The aims of this work were to investigate the printability of high-fraction wood and sodium-silicate composites (WSSC) for additive manufacturing and to develop a screw extrusion-based process to demonstrate this approach for building construction applications. A custom additive manufacturing system was fabricated, and mixtures of 40%–60% wood fiber and 60%–40% sodium silicate were printed. The…
The Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Properties Laboratory and the Agriculture Mechanics Laboratory seeks to hire a postdoctoral fellow with engineering skills that can be applied to analyze 3D printed bio-based composites. We seek engineers who are good at communicating across disciplines, and who see themselves thriving in a highly collaborative environment. The successful candidates will…
