Abstract
Abstract
The material properties of the additive manufactured composite structures are usually done following international standards, that show some difference dimensionally. This study focuses on the impact-induced on the tensile properties of the 3D printed continuous carbon fiber reinforced composite part due to the standards applied for sample preparation. The specimens were fabricated by Markforged® Mark two 3D printing machine using carbon fiber as reinforcement and Onyx® as matrix material based on ASTM D638 and ASTM D3039-D3039M standards. The experimental results revealed that the specimens fabricated based on ASTM D638 showed a premature failure at the location where the straight gauge section of the specimen ends, and the curved transition regions begin due to stress concentration. The tests based on ASTM D3039-3039M standard showed better tensile strength and less stress concentration compared to ASTM D638. Fracture test with SEM reveals fiber breakage, debonding, and fiber pullout, which created cavities and voids between layers as the reasons for the tensile failure.
