Additive manufacturing technologies are undergoing exponential growth in many engineering fields, from aerospace to biomedical applications, from fashion to food industry.
In parallel, also boosted from additive manufacturing, the demand for innovative and efficient designs has increased exponentially. As an example, metamaterials represent a very interesting class of materials/structures that may exhibit extraordinary (mechanical, acoustic, thermal, …) properties depending on their design.
Aiming at generating groundbreaking either process or product advancements/innovation a deep understanding of the underlying physical and manufacturing phenomena, as well as of the complex process-structure-property relationships has become necessary. Yet, developing mathematical models and numerical tools suitable to address the above-mentioned challenges is not trivial due to the multiphysics and multiscale nature of the involved phenomena.
The present Session/Minisymposium aims at presenting and discussing the most recent results in the challenging field of additive manufacturing addressing – but not limited to – the following topics:
- Process modeling and validation
- Product properties and performances
- Material modelling
- Data-driven analysis
- Multiphysics and multiscale simulations
- Advanced mathematical modeling techniques
- Shape and topology optimization for 3D printing
- Metamaterial design for additive manufacturing
