Multiscale numerical modeling of large-format additive manufacturing processes using carbon fiber reinforced polymer for digital twin applications
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) has gained prominence in the aerospace and automotive industries, where topology optimization has become crucial. LFAM facilitates the layer-by-layer production of sizeable industrial components in carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polymers, however 3D printing at large scales results in warpage generation. Printed components are deformed as residual stresses generated due to thermal gradients between adjacent layers. This paper tackles the problem at two different scales: the micro and macroscale. Initially, the microstructure characterization of the thermoplastic ABS matrix composite material enriched with 20% short CF is used in the development of numerical models to understand the mechanical behavior of the studied material. Numerical modeling is performed simultaneously by means of Mean-Field (MF) homogenization methods and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Outcomes validated with corrected experimental mechanical testing results show a discrepancy in the elastic modulus of 7.8% with respect to FE multi-layer analysis. Micro-level results are coupled with the a macroscopic approach to reproduce the LFAM process, demonstrating the feasibility of the tool in the development of a Digital Twin (DT).
