Abstract

Additive manufacturing is a technique whose application in industry is growing all the time. It involves working with materials that are not as well known as metals, and where the geometry of the solid and its production process can cause changes in the behaviour of the solid. Therefore, this work arises before the importance and the great utility that can entail the accomplishment of simulations previous to the production of a certain product. Especially when they are manufactured by these new emerging technologies. But as its name indicates, "simulations", implies working within a hypothetical environment that is based on mere representations of the conditions that occur in reality. Here, it is not only necessary to know the geometry and mechanical characteristics of the material, but there are more parameters to be taken into account. Knowing all these, the existing problem and the application of the finite element method (FEM) we can be able to get an idea of what the behaviour of the solid will be in front of the influence of different external stimuli. As a consequence, the aim is to determine a constitutive model for shear and tensile tests that allows us to obtain the highest precision in obtaining results and subsequently, to apply it to any geometry manufactured by means of additive manufacturing guaranteeing its reliability. These models will be developed in Ansys 18.2 and SoliWorks 2018.
