A metal additive manufacturing process results in a nearly net-shaped fabrication of parts
directly from digital data. A local heat source melts the deposited material, and a part is built …

Predicting residual distortion in metal additive manufacturing (AM) is important to ensure
quality of the fabricated component. The inherent strain method is ideal for this purpose, but …

Thermally induced residual stresses and residual distortions in the additive manufactured
(AM) parts are two of the major obstacles that are preventing AM technology from gaining …

The welding numerical simulation involves thermal and mechanical analyses and
metallurgical consideration. The thermal analysis determines the transient temperature …

The double-ellipsoidal heat source concept, established by Goldak, has been extensively
employed to represent the energy distribution in a broad range of arc welding simulation …

The ballistic impact of the composite materials is studied using the numerical models.
Individual impact studies are conducted on the composite plate made-up of woven fabric …

The parameters of the heat source model have significant influence on the temperature field
and sequentially affect the residual stress field. In this paper, a neural-network programme …

The weld geometry characteristics are highly related to the mechanical properties and
performance of the joints. The top surface of the weld is often assumed as the flat surface …

The fusion welding process of metallic components, such as using gas tungsten arc welding
(GTAW), is often accompanied by detrimental deformations and residual stresses, which …

Reasonable simulation of the bench blasting has great significance on designing of rock
blasting, and the proper consideration of blasting fragmentation size has strong influence on …
