PublicationEffect of kenaf fiber loading on the tensile properties of 3D printing PLA filament( 2023-01-01)
;Lau H.Y. ; ; ; ;Ibrahim M.As know Polylactic acid (PLA) is a popular and widely used thermoplastic material used in fused filament fabrication (FDM) due to its biodegradability and biocompatibility. As PLA was identified as a brittle material, reinforcement was used to enhance the properties of the PLA. This paper aims to study the effect of using various kenaf volume ratios on the tensile properties of the 2003D PLA filament for 3D printing. The study began by extruding 2003D grade PLA pellet from Ingeo NatureWorks into a single filament extruder machine with an extrusion temperature of 190 °C and a screw rate of 7 rpm. The 90° raster angle of line infill pattern with 100 % infill density were used for the 3D printing specimens. Mechanical test standards such as ASTM D638, was used for tensile testing to analyse the quality of the extruded PLA single filament. As result, the with kenaf fibre loading of 15 % shows the optimum tensile properties among the filler loading, hence it is proven that the tensile properties of the was indeed being enhanced by the additional of the kenaf fibre as reinforcement.13 60 -
PublicationAnalytical and computational sliding wear prediction in a novel knee implant: a case study( 2020-03-11)
; ;Fernandez J. ;Ramezani M. ;Kumar P.Kelly P.A.Osteoarthritis (OA) is a commonly occurring cartilage degenerative disease. The end stage treatment is Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), which can be costly in terms of initial surgery, but also in terms of revision knee arthroplasty, which is quite often required. A novel conceptual knee implant has been proposed to function as a reducer of stress across the joint surface, to extend the period of time before TKA becomes necessary. The objective of this paper is to develop a computational model which can be used to assess the wear arising at the implant articulating surfaces. Experimental wear coefficients were determined from physical testing, the results of which were verified using a semi-analytical model. Experimental results were incorporated into an anatomically correct computational model of the knee and implant. The wear-rate predicted for the implant was 27.74 mm3 per million cycles (MC) and the wear depth predicted was 1.085 mm/MC. Whereas the wear-rate is comparable to that seen in conventional knee implants, the wear depth is significantly higher than for conventional knee prostheses, and indicates that, in order to be viable, wear-rates should be reduced in some way, perhaps by using low-wear polymers.1 -
PublicationThe Effects of Self-Polymerized Polydopamine Coating on Mechanical Properties of Polylactic Acid (PLA)–Kenaf Fiber (KF) in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)( 2023-06-01)
; ; ;Salit M.S. ;Yidris N. ;Showkat Ali S.A. ; ; ; ;This research examines the impact of self-polymerized polydopamine (PDA) coating on the mechanical properties and microstructural behavior of polylactic acid (PLA)/kenaf fiber (KF) composites in fused deposition modeling (FDM). A biodegradable FDM model of natural fiber-reinforced composite (NFRC) filaments, coated with dopamine and reinforced with 5 to 20 wt.% bast kenaf fibers, was developed for 3D printing applications. Tensile, compression, and flexural test specimens were 3D printed, and the influence of kenaf fiber content on their mechanical properties was assessed. A comprehensive characterization of the blended pellets and printed composite materials was performed, encompassing chemical, physical, and microscopic analyses. The results demonstrate that the self-polymerized polydopamine coating acted as a coupling agent, enhancing the interfacial adhesion between kenaf fibers and the PLA matrix and leading to improved mechanical properties. An increase in density and porosity was observed in the FDM specimens of the PLA–PDA–KF composites, proportional to their kenaf fiber content. The enhanced bonding between kenaf fiber particles and the PLA matrix contributed to an increase of up to 13.4% for tensile and 15.3% for flexural in the Young’s modulus of PLA–PDA–KF composites and an increase of up to 30% in compressive stress. The incorporation of polydopamine as a coupling agent in the FDM filament composite led to an improvement in tensile, compressive, and flexural stresses and strain at break, surpassing that of pure PLA, while the reinforcement provided by kenaf fibers was enhanced more by delayed crack growth, resulting in a higher strain at break. The self-polymerized polydopamine coatings exhibit remarkable mechanical properties, suggesting their potential as a sustainable material for diverse applications in FDM.3 40 -
PublicationNumerical and Experimental Investigation on Aluminium 6061 Solid Cylindrical Bar Subjected to Close-in Blast Loading( 2024-01-01)
; ; ; ;Zaidi A.M.A. ;Chong P.L.Compaction force generated by blasting load requires strong material such as steel to act as a plunger to spread the force evenly. The problem with this method is retaining the plunger's original dimension from intolerable deformation. This paper uses ABAQUS software to study the ability to predict the response of solid cylindrical aluminium bars (6061) subjected to different close-in blast loads. The solid cylindrical aluminium bars treated as a plunger were evaluated numerically using a combination of the finite element method (FEM) and smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) methods. The plunger was simulated using the Johnson-Cook (J.C.) model, and Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation parameters modelled the explosive. Field tests were conducted by detonating explosives of two different weights, which are 100g and 250g, in the designated blast area. Both data and observation were compared and analysed regarding deformation behaviour in term of dimension difference and fracture. Based on the graph of the deformation dimension versus the plunger length, the deformation trend shows a very close relation between numerical and experimental data with a percentage error of less than 4%. The fracture mode generated using FEM is comparable to the actual specimen. This fracture mode can be described as similar to the behaviour of the specimen obtained using the Taylor impact test. Thus, it can be concluded that the numerical analysis performed for this study is consistent with the actual results.1 35 -
PublicationTensile Properties of 3D Printed Recycled PLA Filament: A Detailed Study on Filament Fabrication Parameters( 2023-10-01)
; ;Ishak M.R. ;Salit M.S. ;Yidris N. ; ; ;Polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable and biocompatible thermoplastic commonly utilized in 3D Printing filaments, undergoes changes in properties upon recycling. The objective was to elucidate the role of extrusion temperature and screw speed in modulating the quality of recycled PLA filament, as well as in controlling its dimensional attributes. Recycled PLA pellets (3D850D) were extruded using a single filament extruder machine within an extrusion temperature range of 145°C to 165°C and a screw speed varying from 2 rpm to 6 rpm. The extruded filaments were subsequently 3D printed into specimens adopting a 0° raster angle, line infill pattern, and a 100 percent infill density, then tested as per ASTM D638 mechanical standards. The study revealed a profound influence of extrusion parameters on the filament's ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and diameter. Optimal extrusion conditions-155°C and 5 rpm-resulted in maximum mechanical strengths, while the parameters yielding filament diameters closest to commercial standards were identified as 5 rpm and 155°C. These results under-score the possibility of optimizing the recycled PLA filament's properties through adept control of extrusion parameters. Consequently, this investigation supports the potential use of recycled PLA filament in the 3D printing industry as a sustainable and performance-efficient material, offering a tangible step towards environmentally friendly additive manufacturing practices.1 33
