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. \({G}_{cut}\) G cut is quantified for each AM feature. The techniques used in this work demonstrate a methodology to directly characterize the fracture resistance of an AM composite, improving our ability to learn about the phenomena that govern the fracture toughness heterogeneities often observed in AM parts.
