Abstract Scope |
Functionally Graded Materials and Structures (FGMS) are a class of materials with spatial variation in either form of volume or composition, contributing to corresponding property response changes in line with the volumetric/composition gradient. The multi-functional property of a component is tailed through the heterogeneous material allocation at a micro-mesoscale to meet an intended performance requirement. One of the main advantages that micro-mesoscale graded materials/structures gains can contribute to the smooth transition within the overall component property.
The move towards graded material and structure design has been “brewing” for some time. By strategically controlling the composition and volumetric density of heterogeneous material deposition in a complex 3D distribution, AM provides huge design opportunities to push manufacturing towards FGMS development.
This project aims to develop a novel holistic framework for comprehensively characterizing Functionally Graded Materials and Structures from design to property through intelligently searching and informing from a model-process-performance database. |
