My research focus was on developing a machine-learning model which can predict the macro-scale structural properties of additively manufactured ceramics by observing the microstructural features from computed tomography (CT) scans. As of July 2024, this work is currently ongoing and expected to be completed by early August. I am working with my supervisors and plan to have a paper related to this research submitted for publishing later this summer. Key tasks involved with this project are summarized below. • Developed a Python script to extract random regions of material CT scans to develop a training dataset.• Utilized Abaqus CAE finite element analysis (FEA) to generate a dataset of material strength properties and stress fields by conducting finite element analysis of the extracted regions under loading.• Completed experimental compressive material testing of alumina ceramic samples to determine stress-strain properties.• Validated the FEA model through comparison with the experimentally obtained data.• (In Progress) Development of a TensorFlow convolutional neural network (CNN) which can predict the material properties of the additively manufactured ceramics.
