Description

Additively Manufactured Engineering and Structural Materials with High Mechanical Performance presents state-of-the-art research advances and applications of high-performance materials and structures manufactured by different 3D printing methods. It covers the design, manufacturing, mechanical properties, post-processing, and applications of various engineering materials, including a broad array of metals and alloys, ceramics, polymers, and composites, examining their microstructures and what determines their optimal mechanical performance. Cutting-edge topics such as artificial intelligence-assisted quality control, machine learning-assisted performance evaluation, and 4D printing are each discussed. Multi-material additive manufacturing, the thermomechanics of additive manufacturing, and metal powder recycling are also covered, and the book also provides insight into potential applications of these materials through illustrative case studies from the automotive, construction, and bioengineering industries.
