Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesReinforcing Effect of Strain Gauges on 3D Printed Polymers: An Experimental InvestigationSalvatore Brischetto, Roberto TorreStrain gauges are ordinary transducers for strain measuring; their operation relies on the electrical resistance, which varies as the underlying substrate is subjected to mechanical deformation. The mechanical strain can be obtained by converting the electrical signal through a gauge factor, provided by the manufacturer. It was demonstrated that its values are not unique; it may be influenced by the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2021 · 7,658 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAn Experimental Comparison for Compression of PLA Specimens Printed in In-Plane and Out-of-Plane DirectionsSalvatore Brischetto, Roberto TorreThe present work proposes an experimental comparison between the in-plane and out-of-plane compressive behaviors of 3D printed PolyLactic Acid (PLA) specimens. These specimens are produced via the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technique by using two different printing directions: the first printing direction in the xz plane allows experimental compression tests in the out-of-plane direction; the second printing direction in the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 25 Sep 2020 · 7,648 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesHoneycomb Sandwich Specimens Made of PLA and Produced Via 3D FDM Printing Process: An Experimental StudySalvatore Brischetto, Roberto TorreIn recent years, the 3D Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) technology, usually employed for the production of nonstructural objects, has been also used by the present authors for the production of small structural elements where the applied loads are moderate. A typical application could be the production of small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) where stresses are not excessive. In these cases, … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 25 May 2020 · 11,903 accessesView PDF Cite
