The presence of defects within laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) parts can lead to reduced mechanical properties and life of components. Because of this, the ability to detect these defects within the parts is critical before the part is subject to its intended loading. Normally the parts are subjected to a quality analysis once they are completed however, this process is typically expensive and time consuming. A solution for these problems is to sense the creation of defects and pores in the parts in-situ, while the part is being fabricated. One proposed method of in-situ monitoring is visible spectroscopy to …

In many structural applications void-like defects cause significant performance debits which call for component redesign or post-processing to account for or remove the defects. For laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) processes, it has been shown that many of these features and their size and shape characteristics are controllable through LPBF process parameter manipulation. For design efforts, however, it is necessary to understand the direct influences of processing on the formation of porosity and the role that individual pores and porosity distributions have on the properties and performance of AM components. Additionally, design criteria must be established to facilitate implementation of …

Lattice structures (LSs) have been exploited for wide range applications including mechanical, thermal, and biomedical structures because of their unique attributes combining the light weight and relatively high mechanical properties. The first goal of this research is to investigate the effect of strut orientation and length on the compressive mechanical characteristics of body centered cubic (BCC) LS subjected to a quasi-static axial compressive loading using finite element analyses (FEA). In this study, two lattice generations were built and analyzed in commercial finite element (FE) software, ABAQUS/CAE 2016 using “smart procedure”, a meshing technique which was developed for this research to …
