摘要
This study concerns the use of the fused filament fabrication technique to create models of the landing gear of an unmanned aircraft. These components are made of filament with short fibers (chopped fibers) of carbon fiber and fiberglass. In order to identify the material with the high mechanical strength, the designed models were subjected to a finite element analysis and to a three-point bending test, followed by a microscopic examination of the tested components. Following a comparative study, both the finite element analysis results and the three-point bending test results provided similar results, with a relative error of 2%, which is acceptable in the aviation field. After analyzing all the results, it was found that the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer material has the highest mechanical performance, with a bending strength of 1455 MPa. Among the fused filament fabricated landing gears, the one with the best mechanical performance was polyethylene terephthalate with short carbon fiber, which had a bending strength of 118 MPa. Microscopic analysis of the landing gear models, manufactured by the fused filament fabrication process, indicated the typical defects of composite filaments: voids and interlayer voids.
