The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the strut size and tilt angle on the densification behavior, surface roughness and dimensional accuracy of the selective laser melting AlSi10Mg lattice structure was investigated in this study. In this study, the characteristics such as the density, up-skin and down-skin roughness and dimensional accuracy of selective laser melting forming technology manufacturing (SLMed) AlSi10Mg cellular lattice structure were carried. This work reveals the effect of the strut size and tilt angle on the geometric characteristics of SLMed AlSi10Mg and is benefit for controlling the forming performance of the SLMed cellular lattice structure.

Based on AlSi10Mg powder, the influence of the tilt angle changed from 10° to 45° with an increment of 5° were investigated, the influence of the strut size was varied from 0.4 mm to 1.2 mm with an increment of 0.2 mm were investigated. The characteristics such as the density, up-skin and down-skin roughness, dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of SLM-ed AlSi10Mg cellular lattice structure was carried.

Greater than 99% relative density can be achieved for different strut size when optimal process parameters are used. In the optimized process interval, the struts with a tilt angle of 10° can still be formed well, which is higher than the design limit of the inclined angle given in the related literature. The tilt angle has a significant effect on the surface roughness of the strut. The microhardness reached to 157 ± 3 HV, and the maximum compressive strength was 58.86 MPa, with the optimal process parameters.

In this study, the characteristics such as the density, up-skin and down-skin roughness and dimensional accuracy of SLMed AlSi10Mg cellular lattice structure were carried. With the optimal geometric parameters, the authors tested microhardness and compressive strength of the cellular lattice structure. The results of this study provide theoretical and experimental basis for the realization of high-quality manufacturing and optimization design of aluminum alloy cellular lattice structure, which will meet more diversified industrial needs.

Active service is one of key problems of ubiquitous computing paradigm. Context‐aware computing is helpful to carry out this service. Because the context is changing with the movement or shift of the user, its uncertainty often exists. Context‐aware computing with uncertainty includes obtaining context information, forming model, fusing of aware context and managing context information. In this paper, we focus on modeling and computing of aware context information with uncertainty for making dynamic decision during seamless mobility. Our insight is to combine dynamic context‐aware computing with improved Random Set Theory (RST) and extended D‐S Evidence Theory (EDS). We re‐examine formalism of random set, argue the limitations of the direct numerical approaches, give new modeling mode based on RST for aware context and propose our computing approach of modeled aware context.In addition, we extend classic D‐S Evidence Theory after considering context’s reliability, time‐efficiency and relativity, compare relative computing methods. After enumerating experimental examples of our active space, we provide the evaluation. By comparisons, the validity of new context‐aware computing approach based on RST or EDS for ubiquitous active service with uncertainty information has been successfully tested.
