... a spectrum of notch severities and interlayer bonding qualities. Samples were tested in the transverse direction using tensile testing coupled with digital image correlation to quantify strain localization and failure mechanisms. Findings Results show that increasing layer height amplifies notch severity...

...Piyush Suresh Mundada; Che-Hao Yang; Roland K. Chen Purpose The purpose of this study is to propose the use of a pre-deposition heating system for fused filament fabrication (FFF) as a means to enhance interlayer bonding by elevating the substrate temperature. The effects of the heating on thermal...
