Journal Article
Moetazedian, A., Gleadall, A., Han, X., Ekinci, A., Mele, E., & Silberschmidt, V. V. (2021). Mechanical performance of 3D printed polylactide during degradation. Additive Manufacturing, 38, Article 101764. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2020.101764

Although widely-used biodegradable polymers have been extensively studied for conventional manufacturing processes, this is the first study considering the effect of interfacial bonds between extruded filaments – the most important aspect related to...

Damage in extrusion additive manufactured parts: Effect of environment and cyclic loading (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Moetazedian, A., Gleadall, A., Mele, E., & Silberschmidt, V. V. (2020, June). Damage in extrusion additive manufactured parts: Effect of environment and cyclic loading. Presented at 1st Virtual European Conference on Fracture, Online

With a general cautious attitude regarding the anisotropic properties of upright 3D-printed parts, there is a lack of fundamental understanding of behavior of 3D-printed polymers under cyclic loading condition, which is more representative of real-li...

CONVEX (CONtinuously Varied EXtrusion): A new scale of design for additive manufacturing (2020)
Journal Article
Moetazedian, A., Budisuharto, A. S., Silberschmidt, V. V., & Gleadall, A. (2021). CONVEX (CONtinuously Varied EXtrusion): A new scale of design for additive manufacturing. Additive Manufacturing, 37, Article 101576. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2020.101576

This study introduces a new microscale design approach, CONVEX, based on the idea of CONtinuously Varying EXtrusion widths of deposited filaments in material extrusion additive manufacturing (MEAM). The CONVEX design approach breaks free from the tra... Read More about CONVEX (CONtinuously Varied EXtrusion): A new scale of design for additive manufacturing.

Interlayer bonding has bulk-material strength in extrusion additive manufacturing: New understanding of anisotropy (2020)
Journal Article
Allum, J., Moetazedian, A., Gleadall, A., & Silberschmidt, V. V. (2020). Interlayer bonding has bulk-material strength in extrusion additive manufacturing: New understanding of anisotropy. Additive Manufacturing, 34, Article 101297. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2020.101297

This study demonstrates that the interface between layers in 3D-printed polylactide has strength of the bulk filament. Specially designed 3D-printed tensile specimens were developed to test mechanical properties in the direction of the extruded filam...
