Research
Project title: ANSYS Workbench Optimization and Parameters Tools to Reverse Engineer Material Properties of Selective Laser Melted 3D Printed Samples
University/Program where you conducted the research: University of Central Florida as part of the T-L.E.A.R.N. program
Mentor full name, credentials, and institution: Dr. Ali P. Gordon, Ph.D Mechanical Engineering, University of Central Florida
Project Abstract: This research aims to use stress-strain curves and the Ramberg-Osgood relationship to derive material properties. ANSYS, finite element analysis software, optimization and parameter setting programs are used to compare experimental trails to simulated results. Ultimately the programs will be able to take the experimental displacement vs. values and compare them to stored simulation data and produce correlation parameters that are used for material characterization.
