2nd Seminar Talk by Michael Falk
During the 2nd Capriccio Special Seminar, Michael Falk from Johns Hopkins University presented a talk titled “Simulation-informed models for amorphous metal additive manufacturing.” In his talk, Falk provided an overview of the amorphous metal additive manufacturing (AM2) technique and discussed its continuum modeling based on coarse-grained atomistic simulations. Drawing from atomistic simulations of amorphous metals with components similar to experimental samples, Michael Falk proposed two constitutive models: The effective temperature shear-transformation zone model and the stochastic evolution elastoplastic model. By integrating the latter into a continuum framework using the SEEM model, it can accurately replicate the plastic deformation fields observed in atomistic simulations, showcasing the promising potential for modeling the AM2 process.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to our next talk on Thursday, May 16th at 4:00 pm CEST. There, Tobias Laschütza from KIT Karlsruhe will give a talk on “Studying cyclic mode I crack growth with a molecular dynamics informed continuum micromechanical crazing model”.
