October 2017 ISOTROPIC FUSED FILAMENT FABRICATION ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING Kejia Yang, PhD The University of Texas at Dallas, 2017 ABSTRACT Supervising Professor: Dr. Walter E. Voit Additive manufacturing, also widely known as 3D printing, has attracted tremendous attention in almost every industry, from aerospace and defense, to automotive, electronics, dental and medical fields. It holds the promise to revolutionize the manufacturing. To date, however, parts printed from existing commercial materials for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printing, such as polylactic acid (PLA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and NinjaFlex®, exhibit greater than 50% reductions in toughness when deformed perpendicular to the printed layers. The high anisotropy presented in the printed parts is the leading factor in the uncertain quality of final parts, and has obstructed FFF’s implementation in the additive manufacturing of functional engineering parts. In this work, two mechanisms are explored to enhance the interlayer adhesion, mitigate the anisotropy in printed parts and boost their reliability. One is the use of ionizing radiation to induce crosslinks between the printed layers after the part is printed. The γ ray radiation improves the interlayer adhesion by 60% in the case of parts printed from sensitized PLA. The other is applying dynamic furan-maleimide Diels-Alder chemistry in 3D printing materials, which has been validated as the second mechanism to introduce crosslinks into the vii printed part for anisotropy reduction. Parts printed from the Diels–Alder Reversible Thermoset (DART) polymers not only maintain greater than 95% toughness when deformed perpendicular to the printed layers, but exhibit smooth surface finish and reasonable bulk properties as well. Both mechanisms have enabled isotropic FFF 3D printing, and expanded the range of polymer choices for additive manufacturing applications that have more advanced requirements in materials and printed parts. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.............................................................................................................v ABSTRACT..................................................................................................................................vii LIST OF FIGURES........................................................................................................................xi LIST OF TABLES........................................................................................................................xvi CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION ...................................................................................................1 1.1 Motivation ................................................................................................................1 1.2 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing ................................................................2 1.3 Ionizing Radiation Effects on Polymers ..................................................................5 1.4 Diels–Alder Chemistry ............................................................................................6 1.5 Objectives ................................................................................................................7 CHAPTER 2 MATERIALS AND METHODS .............................................................................9 2.1 Materials ..................................................................................................................9 2.2 Characterizations....................................................................................................11 2.3 Polymer processing ................................................................................................15 CHAPTER 3 ON REDUCING ANISOTROPY IN 3D PRINTED POLYMERS VIA IONIZING RADIATION ..............................................................................................................17 3.1 Introduction ............................................................................................................18 3.2 Experimental Methods ...........................................................................................23 3.3 Results ....................................................................................................................30 3.4 Discussion ..............................................................................................................43 3.5 Conclusion .............................................................................................................47 3.6 Perspective .............................................................................................................48 3.7 Acknowledgements ................................................................................................49 CHAPTER 4 HIGH GLASS TRANSITION REVERSIBLE THERMOSETS FOR ISOTROPIC FUSE FILAMENT FABRICATION 3D PRINTING ...................................................................50 4.1 Introduction ............................................................................................................50 4.2 Experimental ..........................................................................................................51 ix 4.3 Results ....................................................................................................................56 4.4 Discussion ..............................................................................................................58 4.5 Conclusion .............................................................................................................61 CHAPTER 5 DIELS–ALDER REVERSIBLE THERMOSET 3D PRINTING: ISOTROPIC THERMOSET POLYMERS VIA FUSED FILAMENT FABRICATION ..................................62 5.1 Introduction ............................................................................................................63 5.2 Results ....................................................................................................................68 5.3 Discussion ..............................................................................................................77

Berens MSc Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM) is currently making a transition from mainly being used for prototyping to an alternative for conventional production methods. AM provides more free- dom in design geometry combined with the possibility to produce (complex) products in low quantities. As a result, the need arises for printed parts with consistent mechanical properties that rival those of conventionally produced parts. Currently, the layer-by-layer process used by AM introduces weaknesses at the interlayer (weld) bonds.

  • Effects of Voids on Delamination Growth in Composite
    EFFECTS OF VOIDS ON DELAMINATION GROWTH IN COMPOSITE LAMINATES UNDER COMPRESSION A Thesis by LINQI ZHUANG Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Approved by: Chair of Committee, Ramesh Talreja Committee Members, Junuthula N.Reddy John Whitcomb Vikram Kinra Head of Department, Rodney Bowersox December 2012 Major Subject: Aerospace Engineering Copyright 2012 Linqi Zhuang ABSTRACT Polymer matrix composites are widely used as structural components in the aerospace industry and wind turbine industry etc. to take advantage of their unique mechanical properties and weight saving ability. Although there have been considerable developments in analyzing delamination growth and effects of voids on certain mechanical properties of composites, none of the present literatures investigates the effects of voids on delamination growth under compression. In this research, a parametric study is performed to investigate the effects of voids on delamination growth in composite laminates under compression. In composite structures, delamination would be created by eccentricities in structural load path, structural discontinuities, and during manufacturing and maintenance processes. Also, the service damage such as the impact of foreign objects may also result in delamination. In the Finite Element model developed, a through-width surface delamination is assumed, and void is placed in critical locations ahead of crack tip. Strain Energy Release Rate (SERR) is calculated by the Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT) in order to study the delamination growth. It is found that the delamination front experiences a mixed-mode delamination behavior when local out-of-plane buckling occurs.

  • Finite Element Delamination Study of a Notched Composite Plate Under Flexural Loads
    FINITE ELEMENT DELAMINATION STUDY OF A NOTCHED COMPOSITE PLATE UNDER FLEXURAL LOADS A. André 1,2 , S. Nilsson 1 and L.E. Asp 1,3 1Swerea Sicomp AB, SE-431 22 Mölndal, Sweden, [email protected] 2Div. of Structural Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology, SE-41296 Göteborg, Sweden 3Div. of Polymer Engineering, Luleå University of Technology, SE-97187 Luleå, Sweden ABSTRACT The delamination process in notched composite plates under flexural loading has been investigated using finite element analysis. Cohesive elements implemented in the commercial finite element package ABAQUS have been used in the region around the drilled-hole, and positioned between layers where delamination was observed during experiments presented in an accompanying paper. The delamination initiation and subsequent propagation was studied between the layers at the tension side separately and simultaneously. For all FE models, the load displacement curve was in good agreement with the one from experiments. However, the amount of damage reported from the fractography study was more extensive than that predicted by the models. Finally, it was shown that the models with only one cohesive layer show significantly different results to that of the model with four cohesive layers in terms of size of the degradation area. Keywords: Damage tolerance, interlaminar, cohesive element INTRODUCTION The use of composite materials for structural parts in the aeronautic industry has increased tremendously during the last decade. Composite materials are brittle materials sensitive to stress concentration from notches or damage. In particular, composites are sensitive to out-of-plane loads causing delaminations [1]. During the design process of a fibre composite structural part, its damage tolerance behaviour must be considered for mainly three reasons: to assure the integrity of the part and the safety of the aircraft, to anticipate failure and to avoid unnecessary replacement of a part which can still fulfil its structural function.

Interlaminar fracture properties play an important role in predicting failure of structural components for CMC materials. Elevated temperatures induce more severe conditions for interlaminar properties resulting in a weaker interlaminar toughness. The main challenges associated with determining interlaminar fracture toughness are the ability to measure crack growth without visual observation and to develop an experimental setup that can be used at both room and high temperature. Hence, a non- visual crack monitoring technique has been successfully introduced to estimate crack length in CMCs using electrical resistance. In a parallel effort, a wedge-loaded double cantilever beam method has been developed to determine the interlaminar fracture properties of CMCs at room and elevated temperatures. It has been found that the wedge method does not depend on the wedge material, as long as the correct coefficient of friction is taken into consideration.

ABSTRACT Mode I Delamination Fracture Characterization of Polymeric Composites under Elevated Temperature (May 2011) Wenming Zhao, M.S., Clarkson University Delamination is one of the major failure modes seen in the laminated polymeric matrix composite (PMC). Accurate prediction of delamination initiation and propagation is important for the design and analysis of robust composite structures. Existing experimental methodologies that are based on linear elastic fracture mechanics are inadequate to characterize delamination fracture properties under elevated temperature when PMC properties become time-, loading-history, and rate-dependent. A new experimental methodology based on linear viscoelastic fracture theory is developed and verified through finite element analysis and experiments. This new technique determines crack growth curves, such as stress intensity factor vs. crack growth speed and fracture initiation energy vs. crack initiation time, through the experimentally determined J- integral, Js, for a linear viscoelastic double cantilever beam (DCB) specimen.

Narutowicza 11/12, 80-234 Gdansk, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 22 August 2019; Accepted: 18 October 2019; Published: 30 October 2019 Abstract: Scrutinizing delaminated composites is extensively conducted based on measurements of various types of nondestructive sensing apparatus, classified herein as systems of thermographic inspection, piezoelectric inspection, optical interferometric inspection, electromagnetic testing, ultrasonic testing, and visual testing. The development of the subject has been reviewed during 2000–2017. Not only does the substantial corresponding literature strongly indicates numerous increasing industrial demand for composites, including carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, glass fiber-reinforced polymer, and fiber-reinforced metal laminate, but also the significant potential of composites to delaminate when subjected particularly to impact, machining operation or manufacturing imperfections. Conducting a study on the corresponding literature, the subject of delamination inspection within composites is found to be a dynamic, mature field, while lacking a thorough literature review. Therefore, the present study addresses the mentioned gap regarding various sensation systems utilized so as to detect internal anomalies in composites for the review arrangement. To that end, the literature inclusion in terms of citation times is electronically adopted associated with an appropriate combination of keywords. The study may be considered as a comprehensive, up-to-date review covering all delamination inspection techniques founded on sensation systems, thus benefiting the readers with information in an organized configuration.

  • Delamination Effects on Cracked Steel Members Reinforced by Prestressed
    Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics 39 (2003) 61–71 www.elsevier.com/locate/tafmec Delamination effects on cracked steel members reinforced by prestressed composite patch P. Colombi a,*, A. Bassetti b, A. Nussbaumer b a Department of Structural Engineering, Milan Technical University, Piazza L. da Vinci, 32, 20133 Milan, Italy b ICOM––Institute of Steel Construction, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland Abstract Prestressed composite patch bonded on cracked steel section is a promising technique to reinforce cracked details or to prevent fatigue cracking on steel structural elements. It introduces compressive stresses that produce crack closure effect. Moreover, it modifies the crack geometry by bridging the crack lips and reduces the stress range at crack tip. Fatigue tests were performed on notched steel plate reinforced by CFRP strips as a step toward the validation of crack patching for fatigue life extension of riveted steel bridges. A debond crack in the adhesive–plate interface was observed by optical technique. Debond crack total strain energy release rate is computed by the modified virtual crack closure technique. A parametric analysis is performed in order to investigate the influence of some design parameters such as the composite patch YoungÕs modulus, the adhesive thickness and the pretension level on the adhesive–plate interface debond.

In this work, a new two component binder system, consisting of polyethyleneglycol and polyvinylbutyral, as well stearic acid as surfactant, was filled with submicron sized alumina up to 55 vol.% and used in fused filament fabrication (FFF) for the first time. The whole process chain, as established in powder injection molding of ceramic parts, starting with material selection, compounding, measurement of shear rate and temperature dependent flow behavior, filament fabrication, as well as FFF printing. A combination of solvent pre-debinding with thermal debinding and sintering at a reduced maximum temperature due to the submicron sized alumina and the related enhanced sinter activity, enabled the realization of alumina parts with complex shape and sinter densities around 98 % Th. Finally the overall shrinkage of the printed parts were compared with similar ones obtained by micro ceramic injection molding. Keywords: fused filament fabrication; 3D Printing; FFF/FDM; composites; ceramics; alumina 1.
