Fig. 7From: Thermo-mechanical simulations of powder bed fusion processes: accuracy and efficiencyTemperature evolution (a), comparison of the displacements \(u_y\) (b, d) and the von Mises stress \(\sigma ^\text {vM}\) (c, e) for the geometrically nonlinear (black) and the geometrically linear setting (brown). The evaluation is carried out along the line Y as depicted in Fig. 6(a) after the final cooling (b, c) and over time at point A (a, d, e) where the curves start as soon as the melting temperature is firstly exceeded (conversion from powder to melt). The temperature distribution is the same for both settingsBack to article page
