Abstract:Selective laser melting (SLM) has been developed in recent decades. It is capable of manufacturing components with complex geometries. However, there is no reliable model to predict the failure of parts made by this technique. In this study, the continuum damage model (CDM) of Lemaitre and the Gurson-Tavergaard-Needleman (GTN) model are employed to simulate the tensile stress-strain behavior of SLM manufactured specimens and to study the specimen size effect. The numerical results are compared with experimenta… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
