A Strength Prediction of Wire and Arc Additive Manufactured joints

Anticipating the benefits and potential of using Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) in the construction field for structural connections to enhance automation, energy efficiency, and material utilization rate, the process to provide a reliable and efficient prediction for the strength of WAAM components is the focus of this thesis....

Fatigue Life Evaluation and Prediction of Inconel 718 Manufactured by Selective Laser Melting

The prevalence of additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, has grown in recent decades as a method of manufacturing complex geometries, prototype parts, or high tuned microstructures. One method of additive manufacturing is selective laser melting (SLM), a powder bed fusion technique which utilizes a laser to melt a metal alloy powder layer...
