Abstract

This study explores the variation in mechanical properties of additively manufactured composite structures for robotic applications with different infill densities and layer heights using fused deposition modelling (FDM). Glass fibre-reinforced polyamide (GFRP), and carbon fibre-reinforced polyamide (CFRP) filaments are used, and the specimens are printed with 20%, 40%, 60% and 100% infill density lattice structures for tensile and three-point bending tests. These printed samples are examined in the microscope to gain more understanding of the microstructure of the printed composites. To characterise the mechanical properties, a set of tensile and three-point bend tests are conducted on the manufactured composite samples. Test results indicate the variations in tensile strength and Young’s modulus of specimens based on the printing parameters and reveal the tensile and bending behaviour of those printed composite structures against varying infill ratios and reinforcing fibres. The experimental findings are also compared to analytical and empirical modelling approaches. Finally, based on the results, the applications of the additively manufactured structure to the robotic components are presented.

机器人增材制造纤维增强复合材料结构力学性能的实验研究

本研究利用熔融沉积模型(FDM)探讨了不同填充密度和层高的机器人增材制造复合材料结构的力学性能变化。采用玻璃纤维增强聚酰胺(GFRP)和碳纤维增强聚酰胺(CFRP)长丝，分别打印20%、40%、60%和100%填充密度的点阵结构试件，进行拉伸和三点弯曲试验。这些印刷样品在显微镜下进行检查，以获得更多的了解印刷复合材料的微观结构。为了表征复合材料的力学性能，对制备的复合材料样品进行了一组拉伸和三点弯曲试验。试验结果表明，基于打印参数的试样的拉伸强度和杨氏模量的变化，并揭示了这些打印的复合材料结构在不同填充比和增强纤维下的拉伸和弯曲行为。实验结果也与分析和经验建模方法进行了比较。最后，在此基础上，介绍了增材制造结构在机器人部件中的应用。

期刊介绍： Applied Composite Materials is an international journal dedicated to the publication of original full-length papers, review articles and short communications of the highest quality that advance the development and application of engineering composite materials. Its articles identify problems that limit the performance and reliability of the composite material and composite part; and propose solutions that lead to innovation in design and the successful exploitation and commercialization of composite materials across the widest spectrum of engineering uses. The main focus is on the quantitative descriptions of material systems and processing routes. Coverage includes management of time-dependent changes in microscopic and macroscopic structure and its exploitation from the material''s conception through to its eventual obsolescence.
