Atomistic Insights into Gradient Architecture Driven Strengthening in Additively Manufactured Cu–Ni Stepwise Graded Structures
ABSTRACT In this study, Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are employed to compare the mechanical behavior of additively manufactured Cu‐Ni Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) as a function of the functional gradient design. Two gradient architectures, a stepwise graded architecture and a layer‐by‐layer gradient, are...
