Abstract
This study investigates the impact of key parameters in fused deposition modeling (FDM), i.e., infill density and bed temperature, on the shape memory properties of four-dimensional (4D) printed shape memory polymer (SMP). Two thermo-mechanical programming methodologies, namely programming during printing (PDP) and programming after printing (PAP), are used to examine their effects too. Increasing the infill percentage greatly improves the ability of the material to regain its original shape. This is achieved by increasing the amount of material and minimizing gaps between layers, which helps to build up the pre-strain, which causes shape morphing. On the other hand, higher bed temperatures decrease the shape recovery by slowing down cooling, decreasing residual strain, and minimizing thermal stresses. Compared to PAP samples, PDP samples show a significant 40 % increase in shape memory index (SMI), indicating the considerable influence of FDM printing rather than post-printing programming process.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology is to provide an international forum for the publication and dissemination of original work that contributes to the understanding of the main and related disciplines of mechanical engineering, either empirical or theoretical. The Journal covers the whole spectrum of mechanical engineering, which includes, but is not limited to, Materials and Design Engineering, Production Engineering and Fusion Technology, Dynamics, Vibration and Control, Thermal Engineering and Fluids Engineering.
Manuscripts may fall into several categories including full articles, solicited reviews or commentary, and unsolicited reviews or commentary related to the core of mechanical engineering.
