Fracture of 3D Printed Parts

Overview

This was my final project for my ME EN 7530 Fracture & Fatigue course. I decided to 3D print test coupons with varied printing parameters to analyze how 3D printed components failed. Within this project, I used SolidWorks for simple CAD design, Cura for slicing 3D prints, FRANC3D and Abaqus for determining strain fields and computing stress intensity factors (SIFs), and Ncorr for at-home digital image correlation (DIC). My final report for this project is shown below.
