Multi-Scale modelling of structure-property relationship in additively manufactured metallic materials

This paper presents a multi-scale modelling framework to evaluate the structure-property relationship of metallic materials fabricated by powder-bed additive manufacturing (AM) technique based on crystal plasticity finite element methods. In this framework, a new synthetic microstructure generation approach is proposed to reconstruct micro-scale models of AMed metals according to the characteristics of grain growth in the fabrication process....
