The 16th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM 2024) is set to be held in Vancouver, Canada, from July 21-26, 2024. Prof. Koizumi will organize a symposium titled “Modeling and Simulation for Additive Manufacturing” alongside Professor Albert To from the University of Pittsburgh. The deadline for submitting abstracts for this symposium is fast approaching on January 15, 2024. Your enthusiastic participation and invitation to others interested are greatly appreciated.

　

Dear all 

It is with great pleasure to invite you to submit an abstract of your presentation to the 16th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM 2024) and 4th Pan American Congress on Computational Mechanics (PANACM 2024) to be held in Vancouver, Canada on July 21-26, 2024.  

Our Minisymposium “Modeling and Simulation for Additive Manufacturing” has been a part of USNCCM/WCCM since 2017, and it has been well received and attended.  It will be exciting to learn about the latest progress and advancement from your research activities in additive manufacturing.  

If it fits your schedule, we hope that you can submit an abstract of your presentation to Minisymposium 1101 Modeling and Simulation for Additive Manufacturing:

https://www.wccm2024.org/abstract-submission

A detailed description of the minisymposium is attached below.  Abstract deadline is January 15, 2024. 

More information on the Congress can be found at the Congress website: https://www.wccm2024.org/

Sincerely yours,

Modeling and Simulation for Additive Manufacturing

Various additive manufacturing (AM) techniques including 4D printing have been developed to manufacture complex-shaped components with well-controlled precision.  Sophisticated AM techniques often require systematic modeling and simulation efforts during the design stage and for the purpose of part qualification/certification.  The objective of this minisymposium is to provide a platform to discuss recently developed modeling and simulation techniques for AM, including experimental calibration and validation efforts for the process.  The topics include (but are not limited to):

・Simulation of the manufacturing process to predict heat transfer, residual stress/distortion, melt pool dynamics, surface topology, composition, and microstructure including defects at multiscale length and time scales

・Adaptive discretization strategies, efficient numerical solution schemes, and model order reduction approaches allowing for highly efficient simulations at the part-scaleThermo-mechanical material modeling

・Data-driven approaches for simulation acceleration

・Combined simulation and in-situ monitoring for rapid build qualification

・Effects of microstructure and defects on mechanical properties

・Feedback control for minimizing defects and residual stress in as-built structures

・AM-oriented topology optimization

・Analysis of lattice and cellular structures

Modeling and simulation of functionally graded materials, tissue engineering scaffolds, bioinspired composites, bi-material joints, etc.

Computational modeling and simulation for any AM processes (e.g. laser power bed fusion, electron beam melting, form deposition modeling, stereolithography, binder jetting) and materials (e.g. metals, plastics, ceramics and their composites as well as biological materials) are welcome.
