Mechanical and Thermal Performance of PETG Composites Reinforced with Short Carbon Fibers via Fused Filament FabricationBy Ananda M.N., Sudheer Reddy J.
Abstract: The study investigates the fabrication and characterization of polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) composites reinforced with short carbon fibers (CF) using the fused filament fabrication (FFF) technique. Composite filaments with varying CF weight fractions (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%) were produced and evaluated for their mechanical, thermal, and morphological performance. The influence of CF reinforcement on tensile, flexural, and impact behavior was systematically examined, alongside thermal stability metrics including …

Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Carbon Reinforced Composite for Different Process Parameters Using FDMBy Ananda M.N., Sudheer Reddy J., Vijay Kumar S., Vikram K.V., Mahesh Kumar
Abstract: Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) stands as an advanced rapid prototyping technique, widely appreciated for its efficiency in constructing functional components within a reasonable timeframe. In this experimental exploration, a comparative analysis of mechanical properties was conducted on components manufactured through the FDM technique, specifically with a 20% concentration of SCF-PLA. The study considered process variables like layer thickness, infill pattern, and infill density. Employing diverse process parameters, a standard sample …
