  AI-Enabled Optimization of Additively Manufactured Composite Materials for Enhanced Mechanical and Thermal Performance

  By G. Nagaraj, P. Girish, Pallavi Hallappanavar Basavaraja, Anusha Preetham, G. Anil Kumar, D. Gouse Peera

  Abstract: This paper discusses the optimization of multi-objective optimization of enhanced coupling of heat and mechanical properties of 3D printed polymer composite materials by artificial intelligence (AI), as a component of a multi-objective optimization framework. It aims at development of nonlinear printing parameters and material properties relationships to achieve maximum tensile strength and thermal conductivity in polymer composites produced through fused deposition modeling (FDM). Short carbon fiber reinforcement was used to …

  Polymer Matrix-Based High-Performance Thermoplastic Composites for Automotive Applications: Design, Characterization, and Interface Behavior

  By G. Nagaraj, Ganesh M. Agnihotri, Deepika Singh Singraur, Sandeep Bansal, Varinder Singh, A. Anandhan

  Abstract: The study emphasizes the role of high-performance thermoplastic polymer matrices such as PEEK, PPS, and PA6, selected for their superior thermal stability, mechanical strength, and recyclability in automotive environments. The expanded usage of electric vehicles (EVs) and self-driving transportation creates a demand for advanced materials which are weight-conscious yet high in strength relative to their weight, impact-resistant yet still being environmentally friendly. This study aims to create and define fiber-reinforced …
