  Investigation on mechanical performance of 3D printed PLA-Kraft Lignin composites

  By Patlola Chandra Sekhar, T. Malyadri, B. Satyanarayana

  Abstract: Bio-based polymer composites are becoming more popular due to the growing need for sustainable and biodegradable materials in additive manufacturing. PLA-kraft lignin composites were created and their mechanical performance in fused deposition modeling (FDM) applications was assessed in this work. Polylactic acid (PLA) was mixed with Kraft lignin, a sustainable by-product of the paper industry, at weight percentages of 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%. Melt blending was utilized to …

  Bonding Strength Characteristics of FRP Cylindrical Composites Under Hygrothermal Loading

  By Kunal Pradhan, T. Malyadri, G. Srinivasa Gupta

  Abstract: This study investigates the bonding strength characteristics and stress distribution patterns in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) cylindrical composites subjected to hygrothermal loading conditions. A four-phase cylindrical model incorporating AS-Graphite and S-Glass fibers with low modulus epoxy coating was analyzed under four distinct pressure loading conditions (25.984, 38.976, 77.953, and 155.906 MPa). Comprehensive stress analysis revealed significant variations in von-Mises stress, maximum principal stress, and minimum principal stress across fiber, coating, matrix, …
