Abstract Scope |
This study employs material extrusion (MEX) technique, specifically a multi-material single extrusion system, to fabricate functionally graded materials (FGM) by blending PLA and TPU materials. This process introduces a gradient transition aimed at reinforcing the material interface. An array of concentration patterns, spanning from 20% to 80% by volume of FGM, undergoes systematic evaluation under both tensile and fatigue loading conditions. During fabrication, meticulous control is exercised over experimental parameters, encompassing stress level, stress ratio, and frequency. The characterization process entails a comparative analysis of the FGM interfaces. Results reveal a noteworthy enhancement in interface strength, irrespective of gradient alterations in material concentrations. This enhancement is particularly pronounced during the transition from softer to harder material constituents. The primary objective of this study is twofold: to elucidate the behavior of the material under tension-tension loading scenarios and to provide comprehensive insights into the intricacies of FGM interfaces |
