Abstract

Abstract This study is focused on multiscale characterization and constitutive parameters identification of selectively laser sintered PA12 specimens. The process parameters and change in crystallinity due to 3D printing were identified via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Tension, compression, shear, flexural and fracture tests performed on samples fabricated, both in 0° and 90° directions reveal that the tensile toughness of samples printed in 0° orientation, outperform samples printed in 90° orientation by an average of 24%. Cryogenically fractured samples were analyzed via SEM and micro-computed tomography to analyze 2D/3D defects and correlate the microstructure with macroscopic properties. The constitutive parameters for a strain-rate and temperature-dependent Three Network (TN) material model were identified using the measured mechanical properties. Furthermore, mechanical response of micro-architected Kelvin lattice structure was analyzed by Finite Element Method employing the TN constitutive model and the predictions were corroborated with measurements.
