Prediction of deformation and failure behavior of continuous fiber reinforced composite fabricated by additive manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) of continuous fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) aims to achieve rapid prototyping of complex structures with superior properties. Among the conventional AM technology, the most widely used method, an extrusion-based way, causes poor fiber-resin bonding, which leads to undesirable structural performance. Particularly establishing an accurate algorithmic model to predict the overall mechanical behaviors is challenging. The...
