Directed Energy Deposition Process Modeling, Validation, and Process-Informed Optimization

The directed energy deposition (DED) process, one of the most popular additive manufacturing techniques in use today, involves various complex physical mechanisms that are not yet well understood. In this regard, computational tools show promise for elucidating the manufacturing process and enabling nondestructive performance evaluations of manufactured parts. To better control and optimize the DED […]

Bayesian Inverse Uncertainty Quantification of a MOOSE-based Melt Pool Model for Additive Manufacturing using Experimental Data

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology is being increasingly adopted in a wide variety of application areas because of its ability to rapidly produce, prototype, and customize designs. AM techniques has significant opportunities in nuclear materials with accelerated fabrication process and reduced cost. High-fidelity modeling and simulation of AM processes is being developed at the Idaho National […]
