Journal ArticleDOI
Additively manufactured carbon fiber-reinforced composites: State of the art and perspective
Nekoda van de Werken,Halil Tekinalp,Pouria Khanbolouki,Soydan Ozcan,Andrew D. Williams,Mehran Tehrani,Mehran Tehrani +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of carbon fiber reinforcement on the structure and mechanical properties of 3D printed parts are investigated within the body of literature, and current and potential applications of additively manufactured carbon fiber composites in the context of desktop 3D printing and big area additive manufacturing are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design considerations and modeling of fiber reinforced 3D printed parts
Nekoda van de Werken,Joel Hurley,Pouria Khanbolouki,Ali N. Sarvestani,Ali Y. Tamijani,Mehran Tehrani +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the thermo-mechanical response and failure mechanics of 3D printed composites and correlated them to their structure, showing that the strength of the 3D print specimens depends strongly on the infill pattern and part geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating the effects of fiber surface treatment and alignment on mechanical properties of recycled carbon fiber composites
TL;DR: In this article, the surface of the recycled carbon fibers was probed to understand the significance of surface characteristics on the mechanical behavior of recycled carbon fiber composites and the influence of fiber surface quality, aspect ratio, and alignment on mechanical properties of the composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using ultra-thin interlaminar carbon nanotube sheets to enhance the mechanical and electrical properties of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites
Pratik Koirala,Nekoda van de Werken,Hongbing Lu,Ray H. Baughman,Raquel Ovalle-Robles,Mehran Tehrani +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRP) with interlaminar carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is proposed to improve the interlaminear performance of CFRP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating the hot isostatic pressing of an additively manufactured continuous carbon fiber reinforced PEEK composite
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the use of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) to post-process AM continuous carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites to improve their flexural, interlaminar shear, tensile, and compressive properties.
