ABSTRACT
In engineering practice, one of the most important questions in design and analysis is how a given material will behave under different loads. This is predicted using material models, or effective mechanical properties. In reality, the physical properties of materials are extremely complex, and many factors – such as material structure, temperature, loading rate or pre-stressing – can affect their mechanical response. Choosing the right material model, or effective mechanical propertie is crucial during the engineering design process, as the accuracy of the model directly affects the reliability of simulations, the safety of structures, and the cost-effectiveness of manufacturing. In this research, we created a transversely isotropic effective material model for FDM 3D printed specimens with given technological and geometric parameters.
