Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 38Loading-Rate Effect on Tensile and Bending Strength of 3D-Printed Polylactic Acid Adhesively Bonded Joints(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021-05-18) Atahan, M. Gokhan; Apalak, M. KemalAdditive manufacturing provides the production of many machine parts and components with complex geometries. The adhesive bonding technique can be alternative method for joining parts produced with additive manufacturing. This experimental study investigates the applicability of the adhesive bonding technique for PLA (polylactic acid) adherends produced with additive manufacturing and especially the effects of loading rate on the strength of 3D-printed PLA adhesive single-lap joints under tensile, three-point bending (with shear) and four-point bending (no shear effect) loadings. Both PLA and adhesive tensile test specimens exhibited a better strength but lower failure strain with increasing loading rate. PLA had better mechanical behaviour in the raster orientation than those in the layer-build direction. The strength of adhesive single-lap joints improved slightly with increasing loading rate for the tensile and three-point bending tests whilst a decrease of strength and an improvement of bending stiffness were observed for the four-point bending test. Failure initiated at the free edge of the top adherend-adhesive interface for all tests, and propagated along this interface for both bending tests whilst a sudden through-the-thickness failure of top adherend occurred for tensile load after a small interfacial damage propagation. The failure propagation appeared in a wavy form for the three-point bending test whilst it was along the top adherend-adhesive interface for the four-point bending test. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method for tensile tests showed that the peeling and shear strains were more critical and concentrated around both free edges of adherend-adhesive interfaces; thus, at the right free edge of the top adherend-adhesive interface and at the left free edge of the bottom adherend-adhesive interface.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Comparative Study on Bending Performances of 3D-Printed Monolithic and Adhesively Bonded Sandwich Structures With Various Auxetic Cores: An Innovative Production Approach(Sage Publications Ltd, 2025-03-28) Atahan, Mithat Gokhan; Sevim, Caglar; Demirbas, Munise Didem; Apalak, Mustafa KemalThe cores of sandwich structures are typically produced monolithically using lightweight materials and specific geometries. In recent years, the advancements in additive manufacturing have enabled the design and production of novel sandwich core configurations with auxetic behavior and high energy absorption capability. In this study, an innovative production approach, namely adhesively bonded sandwich structures with auxetic cores, was proposed to ensure significant manufacturing advantages for industrial applications. Each part of the sandwich core structures with auxetic core configurations was printed separately and then bonded using an epoxy-based adhesive. To evaluate the mechanical performance of the proposed bonded sandwich structures, three-point and four-point bending tests with DIC (Digital Image Correlation) analyses were conducted. The bending test results of adhesively bonded sandwich structures were compared with those of monolithic sandwich structures and the effectiveness of the proposed innovative production method was evaluated. Re-entrant, star-shaped, and V-shaped auxetic core configurations were compared in terms of the bending performances of the adhesively bonded and monolithic sandwich structures. Monolithic and adhesively bonded sandwich structures showed similar bending behavior as far as load-carrying capacity, deformation stages, and crashworthiness performance are concerned based on three and four-point bending tests. Hence, the proposed innovative production approach can be applied to sandwich structures to enhance their repairability and support sustainable manufacturing.
