Abstract

A variety of methods have emerged to tailor the mechanical properties of 3D-printed continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTCs) through geometry design or manufacturing parameters. However, the potential to achieve customized failure behavior is not exploited. In this study, the effect of different layer orders on load bearing and failure of 3D-printed CFRTCs is investigated. Carbon fiber-reinforced polyamide composites with six layer orders were prepared and the mechanical response in 4-point bending was investigated. We show that the failure behavior ranges from catastrophic to pseudo-ductile, and we distinguished four typical stress- strain responses. We found that the location and the thickness of matrix-only layers strongly influence the failure. For the latter, we present a linear relationship to the ductility index which shows that toughness can be increased with thicker matrix layers. Our results facilitate the design of CFRTCs with customizable failure behavior, thus contributing to safer applications.
