Mesoscopic modelling and simulation of properties of additively manufactured metallic parts (C05)

• Subject Area: Engineering Design, Machine Elements, Product Development
• Term: from 2015 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 61375930

Basing on gained knowledge, the aim of this project is to account for the influence of part borders on the resulting material/part-mesostructure for powder- and beam-based additive manufacturing technologies of metals and to model the resulting meso- and macroscopic mechanical properties. The mechanical behavior of these mesostructures and the influence of the inevitable process-based geometrical uncertainties is modelled, verified, quantified and validated especially for cellular grid-based structures.
