The body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice unit cell, which has been extensively investigated for energy absorption applications, is considered here to create compression and tensile specimens. Special test fixture was designed and developed to perform the tensile tests. The specimens were printed using Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) polymer material on a Stratasys uPrint 3D printer. The printing parameters considered in this case are: (a) Three different build orientations (0, 45 and 90 degrees); (b) Two different infill densities (Sparse High and Solid); and (c)Two different layer thicknesses (0.010 and 0.013 inch). Once fabricated, the specimens were imaged using an optical microscope (OM) to capture their surface characteristics. Strut dimensions of all specimens are measured to understand their build accuracy. In addition, fabrication time for each configuration were recorded for comparison. The specimens were then tested under quasi-static compression and tension to determine the stiffness, failure loads, and energy absorption behaviors. Specific properties were also calculated by dividing the test properties by the specimen mass. All the test data obtained from OM and mechanical tests were then compared and interpreted with respect to all the three build parameters. 2018-08-30 English text Wright State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1535468629515297 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1535468629515297 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
