High-fidelity modelling of thermal stress for additive manufacturing by linking thermal-fluid and mechanical models

The prediction of thermal stress and distortion is a prerequisite for high-quality additive manufacturing (AM). The widely applied thermo-mechanical model using the finite element method (FEM) leaves much to be improved due to their oversimplifications on material deposition, molten pool flow, etc....
