Study on process parameter optimization for electron beam melting additive manufacturing by Wang, Chengcheng

“…In contrast, the samples built from coarse powders (nominal size ~ 45 - 106 μm) show near-equiaxed-grain microstructure and isotropy in tensile testing, leading to higher tensile strength (ultimate tensile strength of 634.1 ± 8.6 MPa) and ductility (elongation of 62.8 ± 4.6%) than most of their AM-built counterparts. …”

Adversarial robustness of deep reinforcement learning by Qu, Xinghua

“…Over the past decades, the advancements in deep reinforcement learning (DRL) have demonstrated that deep neural network (DNN) policies can be trained to prescribe near-optimal actions in many complex tasks. Unfortunately, DNN policies are shown to be vulnerable to adversarial perturbations in the input states, which creates obstacles for the real-world deployments of RL agents, especially on those security-sensitive tasks. …”
