Abstract: Spatial variation of material structures is a principal mechanism for creating and controlling spatially varying material properties in nature and engineering. While the spatially varying homogenized properties can be ...

Abstract: Like many other additive manufacturing (AM) processes, fused deposition modeling (FDM) process is driven by a moving heat source, and temperature history plays an important role in determining the mechanical properties and ...

Abstract: Engineering design often involves representation in at least two levels of abstraction: the system-level, represented by lumped parameter models (LPMs), and the geometric-level, represented by distributed parameter models ...

Abstract: Powder bed fusion (PBF) has become a widely used additive manufacturing (AM) technology to produce metallic parts. In PBF, thermal field evolution during the manufacturing process plays an important role in determining ...

Abstract: Many additive manufacturing (AM) processes are driven by a moving heat source. Thermal field evolution during the manufacturing process plays an important role in determining both geometric and mechanical properties of the ...
