On the use of length scale parameters to assess the static strength of notched 3D-printed PLA

This paper aims to investigate the accuracy of the Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) in estimating static strength of notched additively manufactured PLA as both notch sharpness and infill angle vary. The TCD takes as its starting point the assumption that the extent of damage under static loading...
