“…Once all the required specimens were printed, tensile testing was carried out. The stress-strain curves were plotted as shown in Figures 13,14,15,16, and the Ultimate Tensile Strength (maximum stress in the stress-strain curve) 70 was targeted. The Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) values of all the specimen combinations are shown in Tables 5 and 6.…”

Distributed Recycling via Additive Manufacturing (DRAM) is a closed-loop material reprocessing solution that promotes circular economy. There are several literature gaps related to material properties and recycling cycles at different stages of the DRAM process. With an approach to filling these gaps, a small contribution has been made through this work by comparing the effect of reprocessing cycles (recycling) with the effect of FDM printing parameters such as Raster angle orientation, Infill density and Extrusion Temperature. These four parameters are ranked based on their impact on the tensile properties of Polylactic Acid (PLA) dog bone specimens. The Design of Experiments via Taguchi Analysis is carried out to avoid analysis of a large number of samples. The results show that recycling has the maximum impact on the tensile properties of PLA samples and can reduce the tensile strength by up to 75% in the course of four reprocessing cycles. The specimens had Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) values in the range of 20–26 MPa at the first reprocessing cycle which dropped significantly to a range of 7–9 MPa after the fourth reprocessing cycle. Additionally, a novel analysis on time and the number of specimens to be 3D printed at each reprocessing stage has also been conducted to help future researchers manage their printing schedule, especially in the recycling domain.

This study examines the effects of lignite fly ash as a filler on the tribological and mechanical performance of a Calotropis gigantea fiber–epoxy composite. The investigation results show that the Calotropis gigantea fiber/epoxy composite with 2 wt.% lignite fly ash nanofiller added had better tensile strength, interlaminar shear, impact strength, and flexural strength than the control sample by 29.83%, 58.17%, 69.16%, and 11.41%, respectively. The manufactured composite samples were subjected to tribological tests, such as the friction coefficient and specific wear rate under dry sliding conditions with various process variables, such as sliding speed (1–3 m/s), functional load (10, 20, and 30 N), and sliding distance (1000 m). The results show that adding 3 wt.% nanofiller lignite fly ash to the Calotropis gigantea fiber/epoxy composites greatly improves the specific wear rate and friction coefficient. Additionally, the performance of the Calotropis gigantea fiber/epoxy composites in absorbing moisture was enhanced by the inclusion of the nanofiller lignite fly ash 2 wt.%. Likewise, the composite sample developed with the ideal nanofiller lignite fly ash with Calotropis gigantea fiber may be used for sustainable brake materials owing to its superior mechanical and tribological qualities.
