    摘要: A build plate for an additive manufacturing system is disclosed. The build plate includes a support structure, a sub-plate, and one or more transducers. The support structure is configured to support a stack of sintered layers of a pulverant material. Further, the support structure extends orthogonally to a build direction. The sub-plate is arranged along the support structure, and defines a transducer cavity. One or more transducers are arranged in the transducer cavities. The one or more transducers are operable to cause vibration of the support structure and the stack parallel to the build direction. Such vibration relieves internal stresses caused by sintering of the stack.

    摘要: A nondestructive multispectral vibrothermography inspection system includes a fixture to retain a component, an ultrasonic excitation source directed toward the component retained within the fixture, a laser Doppler vibrometer directed toward the component retained within the fixture, and a multispectral thermography system directed toward the component retained within the fixture. A method for nondestructive multispectral vibrothermography inspection of a component, includes generating ultrasonic excitations in a component over a broad range of frequencies; determining a spectral signature in the component from the excitations; comparing the spectral energy signature against database 270 of correlations between vibrational frequencies of a multiple of components and the spectral energy distribution thereof, and classifying the component based on the database data.
