| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing (AM) enables intricate part creation with minimal material waste, a feat conventional methods cannot match. However, qualifying these parts and processes requires extensive characterization of their microstructure and mechanical properties, posing significant resource challenges. This need for extensive characterization is also emerging in the field of material informatics, highlighting the pressing demand for high-throughput testing of multiple coupon specimens under uniaxial loads. One major hurdle in high-throughput testing is accurately measuring uniaxial loads within specimens. To address this challenge, we propose an innovative method that incorporates an extension to the test specimen with a reference material, forming a Reference Material Load Cell (RMLC), which allows precise load measurement. A numerical study conducted to assess the feasibility of the concept by simulating high-throughput testing under various conditions using finite element analysis showed great promise. Motivated by these findings, an extensive experimental study is currently underway. |
