3d Printing for Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites Mechanism and Performance
Abstract
The aim of this study is to analysis the tensile deformation behavior of 3D printed unidirectional continuous fiber reinforced thermos-plastic composites (UD-CFRTP). Tensile experiments were performed to obtain the deformation curves and tensile properties of composites specimens. It is found that the reinforcement fiber bundles of specimens bearing the load non-synchronously. Meanwhile, with the fiber content change, the deformation form could be different. An improved micromechanical model was proposed to investigate the influence of non-synchronous phenomenon and fiber content on the deformation behavior. The fiber content is measured by the number of reinforcement fiber bundles instead of fiber volume fraction in this model. Based on this model, the deformation behavior and tensile properties of test specimens with different fiber bundles number were analyzed in detail. The analytical results about deformation behavior and tensile properties show a good agreement with experiment results.
