Abstract
The objective of this experiment is to evaluate the mechanical and failure performance of adhesively bonded lap joints utilizing fused filament fabrication (FFF) technology in a 3D printer. Glass fiber, which was selected as the reinforcement and mixed with chopped glass and Kevlar fibers to generate the composite's hybrid structure, was used. A gradual improvement in surface treatment efficacy serves as the foundation for the technique utilized to verify how the additively constructed composite responds to bonding when the outer printed layer is ready to encourage interfacial adhesion. For evaluation of any changes in shape and functionalization brought on by different layer thicknesses, shear strength, and failure mode analyses have been carried out. Researchers have drawn attention to the intrinsic non-homogeneity of 3D-printed composites because the testing results show more effective interfacial bindings between adhesive and adherend contrast substrate inter-laminar. Fracture mechanism analysis, in particular, allowed for the precise identification of the crack route, the discovery of defects and limitations in the additively constructed system, and the recommendation of critical regions for additional development to improve joint performance. When compared to type I material joints, the load (N) in type II, III, and IV material joints rose by 10.52%, 13.15%, and 52.63%, respectively, according to the final results, identical weight percentage of fibers as 15% for the sustainable material Production.
