Additive Manufacturing (AM) is one of the latest manufacturing processes where instead of cutting away from material or casting an object, as in Traditional Manufacturing (TM), one constructively adds material to create ...

In this issue’s introductory essay, the chair of our editorial board, Frank Gavin, discusses the need to shake up the status quo and the importance of intellectually playing the field.

The war in Ukraine has been a wakeup call for European countries, alerting them to the reality that defense matters. But do some recent promising steps in the right direction actually signal a revival of the European Union’s ...

Liza Tobin argues that the time has come for the United States and its allies to abandon the notion that competing on a level playing field with China’s state-led economy is possible and confront the reality of what she ...

Failures of costly state-building missions in places like South Vietnam and Afghanistan have created a widespread belief that foreign interventions cannot stabilize fragile states. However, a review of the operational ...

Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS) are smoothly varying surfaces that exhibit zero mean curvature at all points on the surface. TPMS can be modeled with high accuracy us- ing discrete differential geometry techniques. ...

Additive manufacturing is advantageous for producing lightweight components while maintaining function and form. This ability has been bolstered by the introduction of unit lattice cells and the gradation of those ...

Lattice structures with optimized material distributions can achieve unique mechanical properties such as high stiffness-to-weight ratio. However, the numerical analysis of the mechanical properties of heterogeneous ...

In this work, three different types of Ti6Al4V powder feedstock of different particle size ranges (fine, medium, and coarse) were utilized to fabricate thin strut lightweight features using laser powder bed fusion ...

The organic and intricate nature of machine generated parts is problematic during the manufacturing phase, resulting in high costs and slow production with traditional manufacturing techniques. Additive manufacturing ...
