Fig. 4: Development of stress and plastic strain during SLS single scan.

a Calculated von Mises stress (\({\bar{\sigma }}_{{{{\rm{e}}}}}^{{{{\rm{D}}}}}\)) and temperature (\({\bar{T}}^{{{{\rm{D}}}}}\)) in domain average vs. time with the profile of σe at the denoted states shown in (b–e). f Calculated accumulated plastic strain in domain average (\({\bar{p}}_{{{{\rm{e}}}}}^{{{{\rm{D}}}}}\)) vs. time with the profile of pe at the denoted states shown in (g–j).
