Symmetric angleply stacking sequences were used to produce ME-AM tensile test samples. Measured yield stresses werecompensated for the voided structure, typical of ME-AM components. Furthermore, molecular orientation andstretch was macroscopically assessed by a thermal shrinkage procedure. Additionally, hot-press compressionmolded (CM) samples were manufactured and mechanically characterized in uniaxial tensile and compressionin order to determine the material’s isotropic bulk properties. Initial model parameters for the Ree–Eyringmodification of the Eyring flow rule were determined using CM data. According to SEM fractography, allsamples showed microscopically brittle fracture behavior. Notwithstanding, contrary to CM samples, ME-AMspecimens showed macroscopically ductile stress–strain behavior and a transition from a regime with onlya primary 𝛼-deformation process, at low strain rates, to a regime with 2 deformation processes (𝛼 + 𝛽), athigh strain rates. These effects are an influence of the processing step and are attributed to the molecularorientation 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-ratedependence of the ME-AM yield stress behavior, leaving the initial activation volumes unchanged. Taking thisdeformation-dependence of the rate constants into account, yield stresses as a function of infill orientationangle can be appropriately predicted.
