Abstract
AbstractThis study explores the mechanical properties and fracture characteristics of additively manufactured acrylonitrile butadiene styrene specimens, focusing on the impact of raster angle and post-process heat treatment. To this end, a large number of tensile and semi-circular bending samples with three distinct raster angles of 0/90°, 22/ − 68°, and 45/ − 45° were prepared and exposed to four types of heat treatments with different temperature and pressure conditions. Simultaneously, theoretical models of maximum tangential stress (MTS) and generalized MTS (GMTS) were developed to estimate the onset of specimen fracture under mixed-mode in-plane loading conditions. Recognizing the non-linear behavior within the stress–strain curve of tensile test samples, particularly in the annealed samples, an effort was undertaken to transform the original ductile material into a virtual brittle material through the application of the equivalent material concept (EMC). This approach serves the dual purpose of bypassing intricate and tedious elastoplastic analysis, while concurrently enhancing the precision of the GMTS criterion. The experimental findings have revealed that while the annealing process has a minimal effect on the yield strength, it considerably enhances energy absorption capacity, increases fracture toughness, and reduces the anisotropy. Additionally, the combined EMC-GMTS criterion has demonstrated its capability to predict the failure of the additively manufactured parts with an acceptable level of accuracy.
