Modeling the process behavior in laser additive manufacturing of metallic materials—A tribute to professor Jyoti Mazumder

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of Professor Jyoti Mazumder's contribution in modeling of laser-matter interaction during materials processing over the past four decades, particularly in the area of laser-based metal additive manufacturing of metallic components, followed by the work at The University of Manchester in modeling and simulation of powder/wire-feeding laser additive manufacturing, in-space laser additive manufacturing, high deposition rate laser metal deposition, and multiple-material laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing processes. Future challenges and opportunities in this field are discussed.
