Establishing a process-structure-property-performance framework for SLS additive manufacturing through integrated multiscale modeling

This study presents a comprehensive suite of high-fidelity computational models that integrate multiscale and multiphysics simulations to capture the full Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) additive manufacturing process—from initial melting and solidification to mechanical response under external loads. Process simulations are linked with mechanical analysis through Representative Volume Elements (RVEs), establishing a process-structure–property-performance framework. The interaction between laser light and polyamide 12 (PA12) powder is modeled, accounting for laser characteristics and the optical, thermal, and geometrical properties of the powder. The heat source is incorporated into a heat transfer model, coupled with crystallization kinetics and densification models to predict material density and crystallinity. The porosity distribution from the densification model and crystallinity interpolated from experimental data are used to construct the RVEs. A multi-mechanism constitutive model is then calibrated using mechanical tests to predict the stress–strain response. Simulation results show good agreement with experimental data in terms of porosity, crystallinity, and mechanical performance when sufficient laser power (62 W or higher) is used. This research supports the inverse design of 3D-printed structures by introducing a high-fidelity framework that combines multiscale and multiphysics modeling with experimental calibration for predictive and performance-driven additive manufacturing.

Integrated Systems Engineering, Safety, Reliability and Risk Management – Minimizing Black Swan Events

This paper examines key barriers that can possibly inhibit safe and reliable mission execution and, in the worst case, result in loss of human life due to many unknown contributory factors that can lead to Black Swan events. Some of the representative contributory factors include decision errors, overconfidence and a host of common causes including cultural and human factors. Decisions are always easy to criticize in hindsight when more information is available after a major accident. Depending on the type and complexity of the project and/or mission, the catastrophic risks of drifting into failure can be alleviated by implementing uniquely and strategically tailored Integrated-System-of-Systems, dynamic, risk-informed decision management processes. This paper presents some of the lessons learned from James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), NASA’s Human Space Flight program, and industry that provide motivation to organizations working on mega-complex missions to prudently accomplish targeted mission success. These lessons are important for future human Lunar, Mars and Beyond missions planned to be pursued by NASA through a public-private partnership using nimble but effective safety-conscious, proven sound engineering practices including implementation of integrated risk mitigation practices.

Experimental Characterization of the Space Launch System Block 1B Liftoff and Transition Environment

A wind tunnel test was conducted at the NASA Langley Research Center 14- by 22-Foot Subsonic Tunnel to evaluate the liftoff and transition flow environment of the Space Launch System Block 1B launch vehicles and tower interference effects with the newly designed Mobile Launcher 2. This test leveraged several unique diagnostic capabilities, including eight distributed force and moment measurements on the launch tower tiers, new umbilical and crew access arm configurations, and unsteady pressure acquisition on the rocket nose in the cargo configuration. The tower loading revealed a strong impact of the SLS vehicle height on force coefficients for individual tiers. Although the umbilicals produced weak influence on the loading on both vehicle and launch tower, unsteady pressure measurements revealed a slight increase in fundamental pressure oscillation frequency at specific wind azimuth directions. Multimodal flow states were observed in the gap flow between the vehicle and solid rocket boosters, producing different load profiles along the vehicle that are now incorporated in the vehicle database. This phenomenon was investigated using time-series measurements of forces as well as tufts and smoke flow visualization.
