Abstract Scope |
This research focuses on the investigation of the effect of material contact interface characteristics on the cellular structure-based mechanical interlocking interface designs for bi-material structures, envisioned to be realizable by various additive manufacturing (AM) techniques such as material extrusion. Three arbitrarily selected different cellular designs were investigated, which include auxetic, body centered cubic (BCC), and octahedral lattices. Both experimental characterization and finite element analysis were performed in this study for comprehensive analysis. ANSYS was employed to introduce various material contact conditions for investigation, with material properties set based on experimental material results from material extrusion process. The findings of this study clearly suggest that the material interface characteristics not only exerts significant effects on the properties of the interlocking designs, but also exhibit potentials as a design parameter. |
