Funded Activity Summary

Computational Design of Defect-Free Additive Manufactured Ceramic Structure. Despite its importance and potential, ceramic additive manufacturing (AM) is facing significant challenge for its inherent material characteristics prone to shrinkage and fracture during fabrication process. This project aims to fill a knowledge gap by developing a new computational design framework for a commonly-used indirect AM process. It will address a range of AM issues, such as residual stress/distortion, cracks, and uncertainty in a nondeterministic context. The study is expected to establish novel design methodologies for ceramic AM with process modelling, robust/reliable optimisation, and fracture-based design. It will provide ceramic industry with a new framework for biomedical, aerospace and mechanical applications.
