Abstract

This project aims to comprehensively report the fatigue behavior for continuous fiber composites manufactured by 3D printing. This behavior is loosely documented in the literature, and there is not sufficient experimental data for the safe implementation of numerical models simulating fatigue in this type of material. Therefore, after reporting the experimental results, this project will address fatigue simulations in the frequency domain with stochastic loads, which would better represent real-world applications of parts used in the aerospace industry. Hence, both the proposed numerical and experimental approaches will fill a gap in the literature due to the novelty of the manufacturing process and the high cost and complexity of such experiments and simulations. This would result in impactful publications and applications at the highest level of the national industry.
