项目摘要

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) offers a great opportunity for making complex parts. However, the collective impact of complex part geometry, nonuniform heat dissipation, and diverse laser scanning often cause overheating of the melt pool during the printing process. The overheating problem leads to various quality issues. Therefore, the understanding and fast prediction of melt pool behaviors are necessary for printing high-quality parts. Data science models (e.g., deep learning, or DL) may use diverse types of melt pool data for efficient prediction of overheating. But the data science models lack transparency, are computationally expensive, and need massive training data. On the other hand, computational models may understand the complex melt pool behaviors, but require continuous updates of model parameters and are not suitable for fast prediction. This award provides an integrated approach by using the strength of both models for fast prediction of melt pool overheating. The outcome of this project will not only contribute to the fundamental knowledge of deep learning but also enable the broad acceptance of the project's testbed as a public tool for the AM community. The results will help many industry sectors including aerospace, healthcare, tools, and mold, automotive, and others. The project’s interdisciplinary nature also helps train the future digital manufacturing workforce by broadening the participation of women and underrepresented minority groups in data science-driven research and education.This research bridges the knowledge gap in fundamental understanding and real-time prognosis of melt pool dynamics by developing a new computation-informed deep learning (Co-DL) approach. The research team will: (1) develop a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of selective laser melting (SLM) to generate complementary data which cannot be measured otherwise; (2) create cyberinfrastructure to enable multimodal data curation, contextualization, integration, and interoperability, extracting knowledge from data analytics, and interfacing Co-DL testbed; (3) develop a Co-DL modeling method to integrate physical laws of melt pool dynamics and augmented data from the CFD model into DL training and learning algorithm; (4) create a set of DL acceleration and semi-supervised learning approaches with small data; and (5) create a real-time online Co-DL testbed for the metal AM community. The resulting method will solve a major limitation of pure data-driven DL models for lacking explainability, significantly reduce the time-latency of the Co-DL model training and inference, and create cyberinfrastructure to enable data curation, contextualization, integration, interoperability, and interfacing with the Co-DL testbed.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

金属增材制造（AM）为制造复杂零件提供了绝佳的机会，然而，复杂零件几何形状、不均匀散热和多样化激光扫描的共同影响往往会导致打印过程中熔池过热问题。因此，了解和快速预测熔池行为对于打印高质量零件是必要的。数据科学模型（例如深度学习或DL）可以使用不同类型的熔池数据来有效预测过热。但是数据科学模型缺乏透明度，计算成本高，需要大量的训练数据；另一方面，计算模型可能理解复杂的熔池行为，但需要不断更新模型参数，不适合快速预测。该项目的成果不仅有助于加深深度学习的基础知识，而且使该项目的测试平台作为增材制造的公共工具得到广泛接受。研究结果将帮助许多行业领域，包括该项目的跨学科性质还有助于通过扩大女性和代表性不足的少数群体对数据科学驱动的研究和教育的参与来培训未来的数字制造劳动力。这项研究架起了知识的桥梁。通过开发一种新的计算信息深度学习（Co-DL）方法，研究团队将：（1）开发选择性激光熔化的计算流体动力学（CFD）模型。 (SLM) 生成无法以其他方式衡量的补充数据；(2) 创建网络基础设施以实现多模式数据管理、情境化、集成和互操作性，从数据分析中提取知识，并连接 Co-DL 测试平台； - 深度学习建模方法，将熔池动力学的物理定律和 CFD 模型的增强数据集成到深度学习训练和学习算法中；(4) 创建一套小数据深度学习加速和半监督学习方法；一个金属增材制造社区的实时在线 Co-DL 测试平台将解决纯数据驱动的 DL 模型缺乏可解释性的主要限制，显着减少 Co-DL 模型训练和推理的时间延迟。创建基础设施，以实现数据管理、情境化、集成、互操作性以及与 Co-DL 测试台的接口。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
