ABSTRACT: Within the last decade, several industrialized countries have stressed the importance of advanced manufacturing to their economies. Many of these plans have highlighted the development of robust additive manufacturing techniques, such as 3Dprinting, which are still rapidly evolving. The combination of rigorous material modeling coupled with the dramatic increase of computational power opens the possibility that scientific computing can play a significant role in the analysis, control, and design of many emerging additive manufacturing processes. Recently, the number of researchers who are blending advanced additive manufacturing, mechanics, and materials has grown immensely. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together a set of diverse researchers in the hope of accelerating crossfertilization between these fields. A primary mission of the workshop is to enhance cooperation and integration between the subdisciplines known traditionally as mechanics, materials, and manufacturing.
GENERAL OBJECTIVES: One key goal for researchers in academia and industry is to draw upon rigorous physical and mathematical theories, cutting edge experimentation and computation to guide and simultaneously develop design rules for scaling up to industriallevel, massproduction and precise additive manufacturing for a variety of applications. A particular emphasis of the workshop is modeling and simulation of fluid, solid and multiphysical systems. We welcome contributions in a variety of applications including, but not limited to:
- Additive manufacturing processes: powders, deposition, compaction, extrusion, spray
- Coupled multiphysics involving solid, fluid, thermal systems, lasers, melting, solidification, etc.
- Robotic control of additive manufacturing systems
- Material design/functionalization: particles to modify base materials properties (solid and fluids),
- Additive manufacturing and mechanics of architected materials and cellular structures
- Topology optimization of microstructures
- Control methods, algorithms and machine learning for AM processes
FORMAT: This workshop is by invitation only and will be held at UC Berkeley in June 2019. We estimate that approximately 35-45 people will attend. There are no parallel sessions, no keynote and no plenary talks. Everyone will be given equal time to speak, and we will also have ample time for deep roundtable discussions.
