Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a promising technique for building complex lattice structure with excellent strength-to-weight ratio. However, AM has inherent problems such as over/under-melt, and turbulent molten pools. Therefore, AM-fabricated parts suffer from porosity issues and rough surfaces. In this work, a plane stress Finite Element Method (FEM) was used to create a computational model with 2.5D lattice structures fabricated by AM. Typical defects such as surface roughness and pores were implemented into the lattice structures. The model is able to simulate the mechanical response of lattice structures under different (i) strut diameters, (ii) surface roughness, (iii) porosity, and (iv) pore locations. AlSi10Mg and Inconel 718 are used in the model to study the effect of strut diameters, surface roughness and porosity defects.
