Investigates stress distribution in structural connections, highlighting WAAM's design potential.
Hybrid connections that combine Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) with conventional steel offer new opportunities for enhancing structural performance and design flexibility, while also addressing some limitations of traditional welding in restricted or complex geometries. A parametric framework supported by finite element analysis is employed to investigate how variations in component geometry influence stress distribution and strain uniformity. The work underscores the potential of WAAM to advance structural connection design and supports its integration as a viable technique within modern structural engineering practice.
