Abstract:The present study investigates the behavior of solid cellular structures in polylactic acid (PLA), created using FDM technology (Fusion Deposition Modelling). The geometries are permanently deformed by compressive stress and then subjected to the recovery of the shape, through the application of a thermal stimulus. The structures are analyzed for medium-high and medium-low compression stresses, evaluating the mechanical properties and the absorption energy as the number of cycles varies. The study shows that t… Show more
