Parametric investigation for mechanical properties of tetra‐anti‐chiral auxetic structures of polymer under compressive loading

Abstract

In the present work, an experimental investigation is performed to study the influence of process parameters on mechanical properties of tetra-anti-chiral auxetic structures manufactured by material extrusion (ME) technique of additive manufacturing (AM). Process parameters namely layer height, print speed, and print temperature are considered, while responses are compressive strength (σ), modulus (E), and specific energy absorption (SEA). Specimens of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) polymer are fabricated and then tested under compressive loading. From the experimental results, it is observed that all process parameters significantly influence the mechanical properties of the structure. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to study microstructural defects of the tested specimen. To maximize the responses, optimization of process parameter is performed using desirability function approach. Regressive models are developed to predict the mechanical properties.

A review of the fabrication methods and mechanical behavior of continuous thermoplastic polymer fiber–thermoplastic polymer matrix composites

“…Improving this behavior can be a challenging problem and hardly achieved by only considering the material properties of the polymer fiber or matrix themselves. One solution includes using architectured structures with thermoplastic PPCs by design [33,[358][359][360] or other stiffer materials as supplements.…”

Experimental and numerical investigation of the static behavior of a 3D printed bio-based anti-trichiral sandwich

“…In addition, an experimental study on the mechanical behavior of an anti-tetrachiral structure under shear and bending loading was conducted by Teraiya and Kumar 44 to evaluate the influence of slice thickness, print speed and contour width on the structure’s mechanical properties. Teraiya et al 45 also investigated the influence of printing process parameters on the mechanical properties of an anti-tetrachiral structure. Although distinct configurations of anti-trichiral and other structures have been studied, the effect of geometrical parameters on the static behavior of a bio-based anti-trichiral structure obtained by additive printing technology has not been thoroughly investigated.…”

Compressive performance of 3D printed fault‐tolerant polymer lattice structures

“…Lattice structure 1,2 usually refers to the unit structure formed by the periodic arrangement of two‐ or three‐dimensional units. Among the different structures, lattice structures can achieve excellent structural efficiency 3–7 . Therefore, lattice structures have been widely used in industries with high weight requirements for structural parts such as aerospace, automotive, and ships 8,9 .…”
