Finite Element Analysis on Mechanical Properties of Selective Laser Melting-Produced Stainless Steel 316L Lattice Structures under Impact Loading
Source abstract
Abstract
Selective laser melting (SLM)-produced metallic porous structures are increasingly popular and promising in the fabrication of biomedical implants. In order to evaluate the life of SLM-produced porous scaffolds, it is essential to analyze the mechanical properties of the porous samples in complicated loading conditions. Therefore, this paper utilized finite element analysis (FEA) to predict the dynamic behaviour of SLM-produced gyroid structures. A modelling approach based on the explicit and dynamic FEA was proposed to simulate the impact process, and the Charpy impact experiments were then conducted on the SLM-produced gyroid samples, aiming to verify the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed modelling approach. Results showed that the maximum impact force sustained by the gyroid samples was bigger than those obtained by the corresponding FEA models, and the average discrepancy between the testing data and the FEA results ranged from 21 to 25.7%. The average energy absorption values sustained by each sample were greater than those obtained by the FEA, and the deviations of the final energy absorption values ranged from 45 to 64.2%.
