Fatigue lifetime estimation of Wire Arc Additive Manufactured (WAAM) component using full process chaining simulation KU Leuven
This research focuses on understanding and estimating the effects of residual stresses induced by Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technique and subsequent corrective machining process on fatigue/fretting fatigue lifetime. To do so, a finite element toolkit will be developed to chain together several manufacturing processes to achieve a final finished product, following the fatigue/fretting fatigue lifetime estimation of the final ...
