| Abstract Scope |
Utilizing simulations as a tool to investigate the physical behavior of additive manufacturing powders and their interparticular interactions will lead to process improvements in the manufacturing of critical components. Discrete Element Analysis is used to analyze discontinuous granular particles to be used in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, complex aerospace structures, and agricultural processes. Defects caused by vacancy voids during powder distribution processes may lead to manufactured parts with variable densities, reduced mechanical strength, and reduces the overall performance of critical components. Various contact models will be compared, and simulations will be used as a tool to demonstrate how cohesive forces affect the flowability and the distribution of powders in additive manufacturing processes. |
