Request a sales quoteAdditive manufacturing (AM) has created a unique opportunity to revolutionize the way we manufacture complex products with customized features, tunable properties and multifunctional applications. AM has penetrated its way into various engineering areas ranging from defense, aerospace, automotive, biomedical, consumer, and most recently, construction industry. Additive Manufacturing for Multifunctional Materials and Smart Composites takes the readers beyond design freedom, allowing them to have a unique overview of the current development in this interdisciplinary frontier. This book discusses recent advances in Additive Manufacturing technology for composites, which have attracted special interest due to their promise in improving, modifying, and diversifying the properties of generic materials with reinforcements. A detailed review of AM processes for fibre-reinforced composites with various material formulations, and strengths and drawbacks are covered, as well as the design-led-innovation frameworks for AM including the most recent development in design, optimization and modelling tools, which are essential for the rapid development in this field. This work helps to fill the gap between fundamental knowledge, technology and novel applications with the specific focus on multimaterial printing, soft robotics, metamaterial and structures, 4D printing, 3D printing fibre reinforced composite.
- Provides the reader a foundation for understanding the multimaterial printing process, fibre reinforced polymer composite printing, 4D printing fundamentals and their challenges.
- Includes a summary about how AM technologies could be used to solve various engineering problems as well as optimizing design modelling tools
- Discusses key challenges and solutions for material selection and characterization, manufacturing process optimization and design optimization

Jonathan Tran
Dr Tran received his Ph.D. in Theoretical & Applied Mechanics from University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, USA and then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Northwestern University, USA. From 2012-2018, Dr Tran were a research fellow and then a lecturer in Structural Engineering, department of Infrastructure Engineering, University of Melbourne. He has published three book chapters and over 70 refereed journal articles on various topics including Additive Manufacturing for Smart & Multifunctional Composites, Topology Optimisation for AM, Dynamic behaviours of Material. Dr Tran and his Ph.D. students were awarded several best paper awards for their research on computational mechanics and shock & impact analysis on of smart composite structures. Dr Tran has involved and contributed significantly to projects in the US and Australia supported by Office of Naval Research-US, Australian Research Council, Defence Material Technology Centre, as well as research agency CSIRO and industry partners such as Thales, Lockheed Martin. In those projects, he has proposed and developed various smart structures, realised by additive manufacturing, to solve the practical engineering applications.
Dr Tran’s core research interests lie at the interface between solid mechanics and materials engineering with the aim to develop novel materials that exhibit paradigm-shifting properties for extreme loading protection that can impact the general field of infrastructure and lightweight structural materials. He has also focused the fundamental understanding of why Nature develop sophisticated and effective ways to form remarkable composite materials & structure and their translation to engineering materials using Additive Manufacturing. He has contributed to the area of biomimetic & smart composite materials by investigating the material-structure-function relationships of naturally high-performance materials at different length-scales. His research group also employed state-of-the-art computational techniques and experiments to investigate bioinspired hierarchical structures..
