Abstract
AbstractThe present paper describes an experimental study on mechanical properties of additively manufactured anti‐tetrachiral auxetic structures under shear and flexural loading. Specimens of ABS material are fabricated using material extrusion technique of additive manufacturing. Experiments are planned using central composite design method. Three process factors, namely, slice thickness, print speed, and contour width, are considered to study their influence on modulus, strength, and specific energy absorption (SEA) of fabricated structures. To perform shear testing on specimen, a novel fixture is designed and fabricated. Flexural properties are measured using three‐point bending test on universal testing machine. It is found that all three process factors significantly affect modulus, strength, and SEA of the structure under shear and flexural loading. Mechanical properties improve with increase in slice thickness, print speed, and contour width. Regression models are developed to predict the response characteristics. In addition, optimized values of process factors are determined to maximize the mechanical properties of the structure.
