Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn 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 abstractReinforcing 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 abstractStructural Performance of Double Laminated Glass Panels with EVA and PVB Interlayer in Four-Point Bending TestsTomáš Hána, Martina Eliášová, Zdeněk SokolMany examples of glass loadbearing structures such as handrails, panes, beams and columns can be found in modern architecture. Most of these elements are made of laminated glass panels. There is a general lack of knowledge about the transfer of shear forces between the glass plies in perpendicularly-loaded laminated panels. This transfer depends significantly on the stiffness of the polymeric … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 14 Aug 2018 · 13,274 accessesView PDF Cite
