Damage tolerant design of additively manufactured metallic components subjected to cyclic loading:State of the art and challenges

none21siUndoubtedly, a better understanding and the further development of approaches for damage tolerant component design of AM parts are among the most significant challenges currently facing the use of these new technologies. This article presents a thorough overview of the workshop discussions. It aims to provide a review of the parameters affecting the damage tolerance of parts produced by additive manufacturing (shortly, AM parts) with special emphasis on the process parameters intrinsic to the AM technologies, the resulting defects and the residual stresses. Based on these aspects, basic concepts are reviewed and critically discussed specifically for AM materials: - Criteria for damage tolerant component design; - Criteria for the determination of fatigue and fracture properties; - Strategies for the determination of the fatigue life in dependence of different manufacturing conditions; - Methods for the quantitative characterization of microstructure and defects; - Methods for the determination of residual stresses; - Effect of the defects and the residual stresses on the fatigue life and behaviour. We see that many of the classic concepts need to be expanded in order to fit with the particular microstructure (grain size and shape, crystal texture) and defect distribution (spatial arrangement, size, shape, amount) present in AM (in particular laser powder bed fusion). For instance, 3D characterization of defects becomes essential, since the defect shapes in AM are diverse and impact the fatigue life in a different way than in the case of conventionally produced components. Such new concepts have immediate consequence on the way one should tackle the determination of the fatigue life of AM parts; for instance, since a classification of defects and a quantification of the tolerable shapes and sizes is still missing, a new strategy must be defined, whereby theoretical calculations (e.g. FEM) allow determining the maximum tolerable defect size, and non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques are required to detect whether such defects are indeed present in the component. Such examples show how component design, damage and failure criteria, and characterization (and/or NDT) become for AM parts fully interlinked. We conclude that the homogenization of these fields represents the current challenge for the engineer and the materials scientist.noneZerbst, Uwe; Bruno, Giovanni; Buffiere, Jean-Yves; Wegener, Thomas; Niendorf, Thomas; Wu, Tao; Zhang, Xiang; Kashaev, Nikolai; Meneghetti, Giovanni; Hrabe, Nik; Madia, Mauro; Werner, Tiago; Hilgenberg, Kai; Koukolíková, Martina; Procházka, Radek; Džugan, Jan; Möller, Benjamin; Beretta, Stefano; Evans, Alexander; Wagener, Rainer; Schnabel, KaiZerbst, Uwe; Bruno, Giovanni; Buffiere, Jean-Yves; Wegener, Thomas; Niendorf, Thomas; Wu, Tao; Zhang, Xiang; Kashaev, Nikolai; Meneghetti, Giovanni; Hrabe, Nik; Madia, Mauro; Werner, Tiago; Hilgenberg, Kai; Koukolíková, Martina; Procházka, Radek; Džugan, Jan; Möller, Benjamin; Beretta, Stefano; Evans, Alexander; Wagener, Rainer; Schnabel, Ka

Organization, decoration

While organizational decoration has been of interest to those who study organizational artefacts, we suggest four ways in which decoration is worthy of fuller attention in organizational studies. First, decoration, ornament and embellishment are not only what we see, but also what we do as managers, consultants, writers and designers of both physical and project spaces. Second, and drawing on the art/craft debate, we note that decoration occupies contested and even liminal aesthetic position and that &lsquo;decorative art&rsquo; lies betwixt and between fine art and craft. Neither fully accepted nor fully marginalized, decoration is &lsquo;only applied&rsquo; and embodies shifting tensions between form and function. Third, we review the particular negotiations of these tensions at the Bauhaus, a controversial and highly influential aesthetic organization in early 20th century Germany. Fourth, we suggest that decoration, like disorganization, provides a source of complication for organizational studies that are neither pure nor parsimonious.<br /
