Method of Highly Adequate Modeling of Additively Manufactured Materials

In this paper there is a description of the method of highly adequate modeling of materials which are producing additively. The paper consists of introduction to the problem, demonstration of each step of the method and conclusions about the method and its applicability. The developed approach is presented on the two additively manufactured metal alloys. The modeling process is based on the orthotropic model of elasto-plastic materialbehavior. The list of material properties to be found was formulated according to proposed material model. These properties were found from several mechanical experiments. The developed mathematical models of the material studied were checked for compliance to experimental data with use of FEA simulations. In order to find the connection between the material properties and manufacturing process the analysis of microstructure was done
