Abstract

Abstract: Functionally graded material answers the need of material incompatibility in the area of additive manufacturing. In this work virtual design, modelling and analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) is achieved. Based upon the relationship of material properties with process parameters of fused deposition modelling (FDM) process, tailor made properties are assigned to components in different regions. FGM is proposed and is subjected to transverse loading conditions. This is accomplished by actual CAD modelling and analysis using ANSYS 14. Encouraging results in direction of FGM fabrication are obtained at the end of this research. It is observed that the proposed FGM exhibits around 51% reduction in deformation for transverse loading conditions as compared to the component obtained at default Modeller settings. This work can very easily be extended in the direction of each mechanical property to customize materials for specific applications.
