Material Extrusion Additive Manufacturing of Poly(Lactic Acid): Influence of infill orientation angle Verbeeten, Wilco M.H. Lorenzo Bañuelos, Miriam PLA Angle-ply laminate configuration Anisotropic strain-rate dependent yield stress Ree–Eyring rate equation Resistencia de materiales Materiales de construcción Strength of materials Ingeniería civil Civil engineering Building materials The effect that the infill orientation angle has on the strain-rate dependence of the yield stress for material extrusion additive manufactured (ME-AM) PolyLactic Acid (PLA) material was investigated. Symmetric angleply stacking sequences were used to produce ME-AM tensile test samples. Measured yield stresses were compensated for the voided structure, typical of ME-AM components. Furthermore, molecular orientation and stretch was macroscopically assessed by a thermal shrinkage procedure. Additionally, hot-press compression molded (CM) samples were manufactured and mechanically characterized in uniaxial tensile and compression in order to determine the material’s isotropic bulk properties. Initial model parameters for the Ree–Eyring modification of the Eyring flow rule were determined using CM data. According to SEM fractography, all samples showed microscopically brittle fracture behavior. Notwithstanding, contrary to CM samples, ME-AM specimens showed macroscopically ductile stress–strain behavior and a transition from a regime with only a primary 𝛼-deformation process, at low strain rates, to a regime with 2 deformation processes (𝛼 + 𝛽), at high strain rates. These effects are an influence of the processing step and are attributed to the molecular orientation and stretch of the polymer chains, provoking anisotropic mechanical properties. As a consequence, a deformation-induced change of the Eyring rate constants is needed to adequately describe the strain-rate dependence of the ME-AM yield stress behavior, leaving the initial activation volumes unchanged. Taking this deformation-dependence of the rate constants into account, yield stresses as a function of infill orientation angle can be appropriately predicted. 2022-08-30T08:04:45Z 2022-08-30T08:04:45Z 2022-11 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 2214-8604 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/6821 10.1016/j.addma.2022.103079 eng Additive Manufacturing. 2022, V. 59, Part A, 103079 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2022.103079 Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess application/pdf Elsevier
