Direct fracture toughness measurement of additively manufactured composites through Y-shaped cutting
摘要
The fracture toughness of internal geometric features of AM composites is characterized through an instrumented cutting methodology. Vibration-assisted printing is used to print high particle concentration composites. Y-shaped cutting is performed, enabling targeted fracture characterization experiments on the roads and welds. Scanning electron microscopy is used to determine the true thickness of cut printed materials.
