Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Environmental conditions have a significant effect on the mechanical properties of various materials. Environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity have a major impact on mechanical properties of materials such as compressive strength, tensile strength, bending strength and impact strength. The purpose of this research is to study how temperature and humidity affect the impact strength of 3D printed PLA plastic. Impact strength is the ability of a material to absorb energy subjected to an impact load by a pendulum. In this research, 3D printing was employed to produce PLA specimens which were later used for different experimental testings. For …

Several studies have been conducted on FDM 3d printed materials such as PLA (Polylactic Acid) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), however, not for ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate). The use of ASA has been increasing due to its resistance to UV, heat, and some chemicals. The resistance to UV prevents the material from degrading its material properties in common outdoor conditions, whereas resistance to heat and oil prevents the material from discoloration. This combination of effects allows designers to use ASA in outdoor applications, however, material properties for ASA in the FDM 3d printing manufacturing process are not well defined. It …
