Dynamic Mechanical Characterization of Additively Manufactured Components

Abstract

The introduction of additive manufacturing (AM), also referred to as 3D printing, has significantly transformed the production of components in various industries. This study includes a comprehensive examination of the dynamical mechanical characterization of materials produced through additive manufacturing technologies. The study revolves around an assessment of the impact of the additive manufacturing (AM) methods on the material characteristics and performance of manufactured components, with a specific focus on their mechanical characteristics under dynamic load scenarios. A comparative examination takes place to bring out the unique mechanical responses of components created through additive manufacturing (AM) in comparison to traditionally manufactured counterparts. In order evaluate characteristics such as stiffness, damping, and fatigue resistance, investigators utilize various experimental techniques, including dynamically mechanical assessment (DMA), vibrating testing, and impact testing. The outcomes of the study reveal significant insights into the interactions between printing parameters, post-processing techniques, particularly material choices, and their impact on the mechanical properties. This study increases the general understanding of the suitability and dependability of additive manufacturing (AM) components in dynamic applications hence facilitating the establishment of enhanced design and manufacturing procedures for aviation, aerospace, automobile, and biomedical uses.
