Abstract We have developed a method for the three-dimensional (3D) printing of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics based on fused-deposition modeling. The technique enables direct 3D fabrication without use molds and may become standard next-generation composite methodology. A thermoplastic filament fibers were separately supplied to printer impregnated with within heated nozzle immediately before printing. Polylactic acid was used as matrix while carbon fibers, or twisted yarns...
A study was conducted to evaluate the current production capabilities of Mark One? 3D printer in printing carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) tensile test specimens according JIS K 7073 by making use fused deposition modelling. Several different types CFRTP are printed and tested longitudinal direction obtain an overview mechanical properties material. These compared with literature values known for composite materials see if these agree. The main goal this research is increase...
Continuous fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRPC) have been widely used in the field of automobile, aircraft, and space due to light weight, high specific strength modulus comparison with metal as well alloys. Innovation on 3D printing CFRPCs opened a new era for design fabrication complicated composite structure performance low cost. provided an enabling technology bridge gaps between advanced materials innovative structures. State-of-art has reviewed according correlations materials,...
For identifying human or finger movement, it is necessary to sense subtle movements at multiple points, including the local strain and global deformation simultaneously; however, this has not yet been realized. Therefore, a highly stretchable, global, distributed sensing electrode made of GaInSn polydimethylsiloxane developed for wearable devices. To investigate electrical properties sections when stretching, tensile, cyclic, three‐point‐bending tests are performed. The results demonstrate...
Continuous carbon fiber composites can be printed using 3D printers. Many studies detailing the mechanical properties of such have been published, all which employed a conventional tensile specimen configuration with surface resin layers. In present study, 0°, 90°, ±45°, and lay-up direction type specimens designed for without Both newly serpentine folded bundles were fabricated investigated experimentally printer. The was 800 shown to adequate tests. had lowest strength stiffness, appears...
4D printing focus on the integration of a targeted morphing function by controlling properties and architecture materials. The present work evaluates potential tailoring to Hygromorph BioComposite (HBC), which paves way for construction new generation sustainable shape-changing metamaterials with sequential response. HBCs are made continuous flax fibres that have been proven be relevant actuation thus due their hygromorphism function. performance can boosted selecting an appropriate matrix....
This review discusses key technologies of intelligent tires focusing on sensors and wireless data transmission. Intelligent automobile tires, which monitor their pressure, deformation, wheel loading, friction, or tread wear, are expected to improve the reliability tire control systems. However, in installing a tire, many problems have be considered, such as compatibility with rubber, transmission, battery installments. As regards sensing, this indirect methods using existing sensors, that...
In conventional manufacturing processes of composites, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) laminates have been made by stacking unidirectional or woven prepreg sheets. Recently, as a process CFRP, 3D printing CFRP composites has developed. The enables us to fabricate with arbitrary curvilinear fibre plies. This indicates that the optimization in-plane curved carbon placement in planar ply is strongly required realize superior printed composites. present paper, alignment an open hole...
