Fatigue in Additive Manufactured Metals provides a brief overview of the fundamental mechanics involved in metal fatigue and fracture, assesses the unique properties of additive manufactured metals, and provides an in-depth exploration of how and why fatigue occurs in additive manufactured metals. Additional sections cover solutions for preventing it, best-practice design methods, and more. The book recommends cutting-edge evidence-based approaches for designing longer lasting additive man...

Additive Manufacturing of Architected Metamaterials: Design, Properties, and Applications provides readers with a deep understanding of the design, manufacturing, properties, and applications of these materials. Chapters cover modeling and numerical techniques, experimental approaches for investigating mechanical properties, as well as the thermal, electromagnetic, and corrosion fatigue properties of these materials. Design techniques, microstructure, and topology are each discussed as wel...

Despite their tremendous potential, Mg and its alloys are not yet used in biomedical applications. This book aims to provide scientific insights into the challenges of the materials, and give an overview of the research regarding their mechanical properties, corrosion behaviour and biological performances. The authors intend to put the reader into the position to accurate discern the proper Mg-based material for his/her applications and to choose the proper improvement strategy to his/her ...
