NEUP CINR-20-20021: Diffuse field ultrasonics for in situ material property monitoring during additive manufacturing using the SMART Platform

This proposal describes the development, integration, and testing of an ultrasound suite integrated into an additive manufacturing build plate to provide in-situ monitoring of the AM part being built. The sensing, based on microstructural sensitive diffuse ultrasonic scattering, provides information about the microstructure and associated material properties during the build. Research will focus on sensing material signatures prior to failure to allow for on-the-fly corrections to the AM build.
