Fig. 18From: A simple yet consistent constitutive law and mortar-based layer coupling schemes for thermomechanical macroscale simulations of metal additive manufacturing processesUnidirectional scanning pattern: detailed view of the evolution of the longitudinal stress \(\sigma _{xx}\) in the symmetry plane during scanning of layer 7. Blue color represents tension, red color represents compression. Liquidus isotherm (solid black line) approximates melt pool shape. Time progresses from left to right and top to bottom. For improved visibility of the relevant stresses the color bar is rescaledBack to article page
