A Finite Element Method to Predict the Mechanical Behavior of a Pre-Structured Material Manufactured by Fused Filament Fabrication in 3D Printing

Résumé

In this paper, a numerical method is proposed to simulate the mechanical behavior of a new polymeric pre-structured material manufactured by fused filament fabrication (FFF), where the filaments are oriented along the principal stress directions. The model implements optimized filament orientations, obtained from the G code by assigning materials references in mesh elements. The Gauss points are later configured with the physical behavior while considering a homogeneous solid structure. The objective of this study is to identify the elastoplastic behavior. Therefore, tensile tests were conducted with different filament orientations. The results show that using appropriate material constants is efficient in describing the built anisotropy and incorporating the air gap volume fraction. The suggested method is proved very efficient in implementing multiplex G code orientations. The elastic behavior of the pre-structured material is quasi-isotropic. However, the anisotropy was observed at the yield point and the ultimate stress. Using the Hill criterion coupled with an experimental tabular law of the plastic flow turns out to be suitable for predicting the response of various specimens.
