Finite Element Analysis of Additively Manufactured Continuous Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Composites

Abstract The objective of this study is to provide a numerical modeling approach for continuous carbon fiber (CCF)-reinforced fused filament fabricated composites. Although these materials have been extensively studied, an effective technique their mechanical performance does not exist. To fill technical gap, based on finite element analysis presented. material properties the Onyx matrix when voids are present derived by Kerner model. CCF-reinforced composites modeled Hashin’s Both flexural and tensile simulated. validated against various experimental results.
