Uniaxial tensile tests wereperformed at five different constant linear strain rates. Apparent densities were measured to compensate for the voided structure. Scanning electronmicroscope fractography images were analyzed. An Eyring-type flow rule was evaluated for predicting the strain-rate-dependent yield stress.Findings – Anisotropy was detected not only for the yield stresses but also for its strain-rate dependence. The short carbon fiber-filled materialexhibited higher anisotropy than neat ABS material using the same ME-AM processing parameters. It seems that fiber and molecular orientationinfluence the strain-rate dependence. The Eyring-type flow rule can adequately describe the yield kinetics of ME-AM components, showingthermorheologically simple behavior.Originality/value – A polymer’s viscoelastic behavior is paramount to be able to predict a component’s ultimate failure behavior. The results in thismanuscript are important initial findings that can help to further develop predictive numerical tools for ME-AM technology. This is especiallyrelevant because of the inherent anisotropy that ME-AM polymer components show. Furthermore, short carbon fiber-filled ABS enhanced anisotropyeffects during ME-AM, which have not been measured previously.
