Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) approach for Metal-based Additive Manufacturing
Dr. Paul Hooper, Dr. Minh-Son Pham
We use state-of-the-art experimental and computational methods to understand and quantify the process-microstructure-property-performance relationship in order to develop accurate materials models that represent the material behaviour. The obtained knowledge is subsequently integrated into modelling and simulation tools that are used to design advanced advanced metals and alloys, additively manufacture and apply them in practice.
Finite Element Modelling of the DMLS process
Dr. Paul Hopper, Department of Mechanical Engineering
By modelling the direct metal laser sintering process using finite element analysis, the thermal stresses under different scan strategies can be investigated.
