Additive manufacturing (AM) processes have proven to be a perfect match for topology
optimization (TO), as they are able to realize sophisticated geometries in a unique layer-by …

We review the state of modeling and simulation of nuclear fuels with emphasis on the most
widely used nuclear fuel, UO2. The hierarchical scheme presented represents a science …

Emphasising essential methods and universal principles, this textbook provides everything
students need to understand the basics of simulating materials behaviour. All the key topics …

Lattice structures fabricated by additive manufacturing (AM) technology have many excellent
properties, such as lightweight, high strength, energy absorption, and vibration reduction …

Sintering is a high temperature process used for ceramic or metallic powder consolidation
that consists of concurrent densification and grain growth. This work presents a coupled …

Additive manufacturing enables the production of previously unachievable designs in
conjunction with time and cost savings. However, spatially and temporally fluctuating …

A deep learning based homogenization framework is proposed to link the microstructures of
porous nickel/yttria-stabilized zirconia anodes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) to their …

Microstructural evolution and sintering behavior of powder compacts composed of spherical
particles with different particle size distributions (PSD s) were simulated using a kinetic …

Microstructure is a controlling factor in the behavior of sintered materials. This work presents
a quantitative phase field model of thermal sintering that predicts the evolution of the …

Abstract Using the kinetic Monte Carlo simulator, Stochastic Parallel PARticle Kinetic
Simulator, from Sandia National Laboratories, a user routine has been developed to …
