Research
Ongoing research in our group, supported by CIMM, focuses on interfacial fracture of 3D printed structuresusing selective laser melting (SLM). Major scientific issues addressed include: 1)interfacial fracture underMode I, ModeII, andmixed ModeI&II loading; 2) finite element modeling of fracture of SLM printed dogbone specimen under uniaxial tensile loading. We are developing analytical modeling of the interfacial fracture of 3D printed metallic specimens, which have periodic zig-zag fracture path. We are also using commercially available software package such as ANSYS, to model the “cup and cone” fractureof printed specimens under uniaxial tension. Our research may help better understand fracture of printed metallic specimens under various loading conditions and may also help control the printing process using SLM.
