Laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a promising additive manufacturing technology, where metallic parts are produced in a layer-wise manner. At each step, a rapid-moving laser irradiates and subsequently melts predefined zones of a relatively thin layer of fine spherical metal ... En savoir plus

Accurate tissue mechanical properties are essential for simulating medical devices that deform skin under suction, such as devices for the treatment of fat, skin wounds, and vascular skin conditions. While suction-based methods exist for estimating these properties, most rely on small ... En savoir plus

Simulation of laser processes are more and more efficient. In some cases, as welding and additive manufacturing, the physical phenomena are complex, multi-physics and multi-phases, thus some assumptions have to be done. For Laser Powder Bed Fusion, a laser beam melts and vaporizes the ... En savoir plus
