Avoiding stress concentrations is essential to achieve robust parts since failure tends to originate at such concentrations. With recent advances in multimaterial additive manufacturing, it is possible to alter the stress (or strain) distribution by adjusting the material properties in selected locations. Here, we investigate the use of grayscale digital light processing (g-DLP) 3D printing to create modulus gradients around areas of high stress. These gradients prevent failure by redistributing high stresses (or strains) to the neighboring material. The improved material distributions are calculated using finite element analysis. The much-enhanced properties are demonstrated experimentally for thin plates with circular, triangular, and elliptical holes. This work suggests that multimaterial additive manufacturing techniques like g-DLP printing provide a unique opportunity to create tougher engineering materials and parts.

The Z Fundamental Science (ZFS) Program is intended to provide access to the Z machine and its diagnostics for high energy density (HED) experiments in collaboration with a broad community of academic, industrial, and national laboratory research interests. ZFS experiments on the Z Facility focus on conducting fundamental research in HED science and help provide research experience necessary to maintain and grow the HED community, especially through involvement of researchers from academia. This report serves as an executive summary of the ZFS Program and provides a succinct synopsis of the history of the ZFS Program, metrics and impacts of the Program, as well as a brief list of the most impactful publications that have resulted from the various ZFS Projects relevant to laboratory astrophysics, plasma physics, and planetary physics.
