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 complexity of localized and dynamic boundary conditions in additive manufacturing processes makes it difficult to track in-situ thermo-mechanical changes at different length scales within a part using experimental ...

Geometrical inaccuracy from shrinkage and residual stress-induced deformations are key sources of defects in Additive Manufacturing (AM). In most AM processes the CAD model is represented by an STL file which is sliced ...

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 ...

A new finite element based constitutive model has been developed for quantification of energy dissipation due to friction and plastic deformation at the mating interface of two surfaces during the Ultrasonic Consolidation ...
