Integrated Design of Multiscale, Multifunctional Materials and Products is the first of its type to consider not only design of materials, but concurrent design of materials and products. In other words, materials are not just selected on the basis of properties, but the composition and/or microstructure iw designed to satisfy specific ranged sets of performance requirements. This book presents the motivation for pursuing concurrent design of materials and products, thoroughly discussing the details of multiscale modeling and multilevel robust design and provides details of the design methods/strategies along with selected examples of designing material attributes for specified system performance. It is intended as a monograph to serve as a foundational reference for instructors of courses at the senior and introductory graduate level in departments of materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering and civil engineering who are interested in next generation systems-based design of materials.- First of its kind to consider not only design of materials, but concurrent design of materials and products- Treatment of uncertainty via robust design of materials- Integrates the "materials by design approach" of Olson/Ques Tek LLC with the "materials selection" approach of Ashby/Granta- Distinquishes the processes of concurrent design of materials and products as an overall systems design problem from the field of multiscale modeling- Systematic mathematical algorithms and methods are introduced for robust design of materials, rather than ad hoc heuristics--it is oriented towards a true systems approach to design of materials and products

Fundamentals of Laser-Based Powder Bed Fusion of Polymers addresses the design principles, materials, process monitoring, powder characteristics, microstructure, mechanical properties, post-processing, nondestructive testing, and more of polymers produced by laser-based powder bed fusion (LBPBF) additive manufacturing. Industrial applications and case studies are included throughout, as is insight on the testing, certification, and qualification of parts. The book starts with a section covering the fundamentals of the process and the materials used, with the second section discussing design for LBPBF of polymers including guidance on data management, process chains, and software and tools used. The third section provides insight on raw materials and feedstock, looking at how polymeric materials are selected, designed, and modified for use. Material characterization and powder management workflow are also covered. The fourth section of the book looks at the production process, including post-processing, process monitoring, prototyping vs. serialized production, and qualified production considerations. The book concludes with a section on part quality considerations, discussing measurement, industry certification and qualification, and more.Addresses the design principles, materials, process monitoring, powder characteristics, microstructure, mechanical properties, post-processing, and nondestructive testing of polymers produced by laser-based powder bed fusion additive manufacturingIncludes industrial applications and case studiesCovers data management, process chains, software, raw materials and feedstock, prototyping, material selection and design, and more
