A new efficient numerical technique has been formulated for dimensional reduction and phenomenological multi-scale simulation of additive manufacturing processes using finite element analysis. This technique is demonstrated ...

The process of Selective Laser Melting (SLM) involves the moving of a laser beam across a powder bed to melt material layer by layer. From the standpoint of modeling, this simple procedure is complicated to capture ...

Finite element modeling (FEM) is one of the most common methods for predicting the thermo-mechanical properties of 3D structures. Since FEM was developed primarily to analyze and optimize structures that would then be ...
