Mechanical Properties of 3D Printed Fibre Reinforced Composites subjected to Quasi-static and Dynamic Loadings

The deformation and mechanical properties of 3D printed continuous fibre reinforced composites (CFRCs) have been investigated in this thesis. Fibres involved are carbon, glass or Kevlar fibers. By studying how various printing parameters, material combinations and test conditions affect the performance of the printed CFRCs, the findings contribute to making 3D printing more effective and accessible for fabricating advanced and durable products. This work supports innovation in manufacturing, offering sustainable and cost-efficient ways to produce high-performance materials that benefit industries such as aerospace, automotive, and defense.
