Interface Strength Modeling in FGMs
This study focused on modeling and experimentally validating the interface strength of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) manufactured using the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process. Interface zones in multi-material printed parts often experience stress concentrations, cracking, or delamination, especially with abrupt material changes. This project aimed to address those issues by using gradient transitions and multi-scale numerical modeling to improve reliability.
