讲座摘要

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a family of rising technologies that are well-known for their flexibility in fabricating geometrically and/or material-wisely complex parts that are difficult for traditional manufacturing processes. However, AM processes are often plagued with a lack of reproducibility and reliability. Computational modeling has become an appealing approach in understanding the Process-Structure-Property (PSP) relationship in AM processes, critical for process control and optimization.

 

My research work has focused on developing efficient and scalable numerical algorithms for solving both forward and inverse design problems in AM processes. In this presentation, I will first discuss the Process-Structure linkage in a laser-based powder bed fusion (PBF) process, where a new physics-embedded graph network method is proposed to accelerate the traditional phase-field simulation for material microstructure evolution. Then, I will introduce an open-source differentiable simulation platform with GPU acceleration that I initiated, called JAX-AM (https://github.com/tianjuxue/jax-am), that provides full-stack analysis for AM processes. Finally, I will switch to the Structure-Property linkage and show AM-enabled design of structurally intricate mechanical metamaterials that possess unique mechanical properties, e.g., having a negative Poisson's ratio.
