Enhancing Tensile Strength Of Fdm Parts Using Thermal Annealing And Uniaxial Pressure, Rhugdhrivya Rane Dec 2018

Enhancing Tensile Strength Of Fdm Parts Using Thermal Annealing And Uniaxial Pressure, Rhugdhrivya Rane

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses

Additive manufacturing has been a revolutionary and disruptive technological development in the field of design and manufacturing with Fused deposition modelling (FDM) being at the forefront of this technology. But it is seen that parts printed using FDM suffer from an inherent deficiency of weak tensile strength in the out of plane direction (z-direction) thus limiting their application. This issue of weak z-direction strength is due to the weak Inter-bead bond strength of adjacent polymer interfaces. The purpose of this work is to increase this Inter-Bead bond strength thus increasing the overall tensile strength of the part. In this work, …


A Study Of Effect Of Bond Length On Bond Strength Using Transient Heat Transfer Analysis, Junaid Mohamed Baig Aug 2018

A Study Of Effect Of Bond Length On Bond Strength Using Transient Heat Transfer Analysis, Junaid Mohamed Baig

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses

It is important to understand the mechanical properties of the bonding between the adjacent layers of 3D printed parts build by fused deposition modeling. The bonding process is highly nonlinear and depends on various geometrical and thermal process parameters. This work aims to quantify the degree of bonding by calculating bond potential between the extruded layers using finite element heat transfer analysis. Successive transient analysis were carried out using this model by constantly updating the boundary conditions and geometric model during the deposition of the extruded bead. Temperatures at critical points were calculated over a period to calculate the bond …


A Multiphysics Study Of Interfacial Properties Of 3d Printed Filaments, Alireza Rezaee Aug 2018

A Multiphysics Study Of Interfacial Properties Of 3d Printed Filaments, Alireza Rezaee

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Dissertations

Fused Deposition Modeling has become the most popular 3-D printing method over the last decade. Due to its potential to save time, cost and, labor, there is a great deal of interest to use this technique for production of functional load carrying parts and assemblies in bio-medical, automotive, aerospace, and oil and gas industries. In general, materials used in FDM process are isotropic; however, parts printed using FDM process show anisotropic mechanical properties with inconsistent properties in the transverse direction to the filaments’ cross-section. This anisotropic behavior is due to the fabrication process, and the inconsistency in the transverse mechanical …
