The Effects Of Fiber Orientation And Volume Fraction Of Fiber On Mechanical Properties Of Additively Manufactured Composite Material, Suresh Chandra Kuchipudi

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Additive manufacturing (AM) also known as 3D printing has tremendous advancements in recent days with a vast number of applications in industrial, automotive, architecture, consumer projects, fashion, toys, food, art, etc. Composite materials are widely used in structures with weight as a critical factor especially in aerospace industry. Recently, additive manufacturing technology, a rapidly growing innovative technology, has gained lot of importance in making composite materials. The properties of composite materials depend upon the properties of constituent’s matrix and fiber. There is lot of research on effect of fiber orientation on mechanical properties of composite materials made using conventional manufacturing …
