... of the produced pieces are limited. This paper aims to present the experimental aspect of multi-scale damage analysis and fatigue behavior of polylactic acid (PLA) manufactured by FDM. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of extruder temperature during the process, loading amplitude...

...Brian Torries; Amanda J. Sterling; Nima Shamsaei; Scott M. Thompson; Steve R. Daniewicz Purpose The purpose of this study is to calibrate a microstructure-based fatigue model for its use in predicting fatigue life of additively manufactured (AM) Ti-6Al-4V. Fatigue models that are capable of better...

...Jacob P. Moore; Christopher B. Williams Purpose – This paper aims to seek to fill a gap in the literature by characterizing the fatigue life and microstructure of a printed elastomer material, the TangoBlackPlus material. Design/methodology/approach – Because the TangoBlackPlus material...

...Sophia Ziemian; Maryvivian Okwara; Constance Wilkens Ziemian Purpose – This paper aims to define the effect of specimen mesostructure on the monotonic tensile behavior and tensile-fatigue life of layered acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) components fabricated by fused deposition modeling (FDM...

...Javier Munguia; Kenny Dalgarno Purpose – The purpose of this paper was twofold: first, to determine if rotating bending could be used as an effective way of determining the fatigue behaviour of laser-sintered nylon, and second, to examine whether the fatigue behaviour of laser-sintered PA12...

...John Lee; Adam Huang Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the effects of fatigue on fused deposition modeling rapid prototyped acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) materials. Design/methodology/approach FDM dog bones based on UNI EN ISO 527‐1 (1997) were tested at 100, 80, 60...

... on the lifetime. The samples were tension‐tested and the results were compared to similar conventional materials. Findings The SLM‐fabricated stainless steels show tensile and fatigue behaviour comparable to conventionally processed materials. For SS316L the fatigue life is 25 per cent lower than conventional...
