Additive manufacturing of composites composed wood residues and ecofriendly binders such as sodium silicate could reduce the carbon footprint construction industry. In this paper spatially varying mechanical behavior a single layer 3D-printed wood-sodium composite with 50:50 wt.% known PrinTimber was investigated. Flexural testing revealed outer edges printed material exhibited greater strength compared to inner regions same sample. Furthermore, tensile tests demonstrated that longitudinal...
This paper presents a micromechanical analysis for the elastic and viscoelastic behavior of high-strain thin-ply composites. The modeling approach is based on unit cell homogenization. geometry internal weave architecture ply configuration characterized via micrographic explicitly modeled in cell. composites are as Kirchhoff plates homogenization computes effective relaxation ABD matrix represented by Prony series using properties constituent fiber matrix. formulation model numerical...
