Cylindrical dog-bone (or dumbbell) shaped samples have become a common design for dynamic tensile tests of ductile materials with a Kolsky tension bar. When a direct measurement of displacement between the bar ends is used to calculate the specimen strain, the actual strain in the specimen gage section is overestimated due to strain in the specimen shoulder and needs to be corrected. The currently available correction method works well for elastic-perfectly plastic materials but may not be applicable to materials that exhibit significant work-hardening behavior. In this study, we developed a new specimen strain correction method for materials possessing an elastic-plastic with linear work-hardening stress–strain response. A Kolsky tension bar test of a Fe-49Co-2V alloy (known by trade names Hiperco and Permendur) was used to demonstrate the new specimen strain correction method. This new correction method was also used to correct specimen strains in Kolsky tension bar experiments on two other materials: 4140 alloy, and 304L-VAR stainless steel, which had different work-hardening behavior.

We describe an approach to predict failure in a complex, additively-manufactured stainless steel part as defined by the third Sandia Fracture Challenge. A viscoplastic internal state variable constitutive model was calibrated to fit experimental tension curves in order to capture plasticity, necking, and damage evolution leading to failure. Defects such as gas porosity and lack of fusion voids were represented by overlaying a synthetic porosity distribution onto the finite element mesh and computing the elementwise ratio between pore volume and element volume to initialize the damage internal state variables. These void volume fraction values were then used in a damage formulation accounting for growth of these existing voids, while new voids were allowed to nucleate based on a nucleation rule. Blind predictions of failure are compared to experimental results. The comparisons indicate that crack initiation and propagation were correctly predicted, and that an initial porosity field superimposed as higher initial damage may provide a path forward for capturing material strength uncertainty. The latter conclusion was supported by predicted crack face tortuosity beyond the usual mesh sensitivity and variability in predicted strain to failure; however, it bears further inquiry and a more conclusive result is pending compressive testing of challenge-built coupons to de-convolute materials behavior from the geometric influence of significant porosity.

New manufacturing technologies such as additive manufacturing require research and development to minimize the uncertainties in the produced parts. The research involves experimental measurements and large simulations, which result in huge quantities of data to store and analyze. We address this challenge by alleviating the data storage requirements using lossy data compression. We select wavelet bases as the mathematical tool for compression. Unlike images, additive manufacturing data is often represented on irregular geometries and unstructured meshes. Thus, we use Alpert tree-wavelets as bases for our data compression method. We first analyze different basis functions for the wavelets and find the one that results in maximal compression and miminal error in the reconstructed data. We then devise a new adaptive thresholding method that is data-agnostic and allows a priori estimation of the reconstruction error. Finally, we propose metrics to quantify the global and local errors in the reconstructed data. One of the error metrics addresses the preservation of physical constraints in reconstructed data fields, such as divergence-free stress field in structural simulations. While our compression and decompression method is general, we apply it to both experimental and computational data obtained from measurements and thermal/structural modeling of the sintering of a hollow cylinder from metal powders using a Laser Engineered Net Shape process. The results show that monomials achieve optimal compression performance when used as wavelet bases. The new thresholding method results in compression ratios that are two to seven times larger than the ones obtained with commonly used thresholds. Overall, adaptive Alpert tree-wavelets can achieve compression ratios between one and three orders of magnitude depending on the features in the data that are required to preserve. These results show that Alpert tree-wavelet compression is a viable and promising technique to reduce the size of large data structures found in both experiments and simulations.

This SAND report fulfills the final report requirement for the Born Qualified Grand Challenge LDRD. Born Qualified was funded from FY16-FY18 with a total budget of ~$13M over the 3 years of funding. Overall 70+ staff, Post Docs, and students supported this project over its lifetime. The driver for Born Qualified was using Additive Manufacturing (AM) to change the qualification paradigm for low volume, high value, high consequence, complex parts that are common in high-risk industries such as ND, defense, energy, aerospace, and medical. AM offers the opportunity to transform design, manufacturing, and qualification with its unique capabilities. AM is a disruptive technology, allowing the capability to simultaneously create part and material while tightly controlling and monitoring the manufacturing process at the voxel level, with the inherent flexibility and agility in printing layer-by-layer. AM enables the possibility of measuring critical material and part parameters during manufacturing, thus changing the way we collect data, assess performance, and accept or qualify parts. It provides an opportunity to shift from the current iterative design-build-test qualification paradigm using traditional manufacturing processes to design-by-predictivity where requirements are addressed concurrently and rapidly. The new qualification paradigm driven by AM provides the opportunity to predict performance probabilistically, to optimally control the manufacturing process, and to implement accelerated cycles of learning. Exploiting these capabilities to realize a new uncertainty quantification-driven qualification that is rapid, flexible, and practical is the focus of this effort.
