Most materials have complex microstructures that determine their behavior at the continuum level. To effectively predict that behavior, we need to understand the effect of the microstructures at different length scales and follow the mechanics that it undergoes at different length scales. For both polymer and for metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes, understanding of the material and its behavior at different length scales is critical is the prediction of residual stresses and part level distortions.
This eSeminar would showcase how to integrate multi-scale material solutions. For polymers, we will work through a multi-scale workflow starting with the construction and characterization of thermo-plastically cross-linked elastomeric co-polymers to using the material properties to predict their behavior at the part level. On the metal side, we will showcase how using accurate heat treatment based material models can be used to accurately predict the stress and distortions during the printing.
