Statistical Modelling and Analysis of Fused Deposition Modelling Process Parameters for Green Composites Fabrication

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the intricacies involved in conducting statistical analyses on Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) printed green composites, backed by real-world examples. It helps readers navigate the statistical terrain within the realm of eco-friendly composite materials, offering a hands-on approach that bridges theory with tangible applications.

Key features:

• Contains processing and manufacturing of novel green filaments for additive manufacturing (AM) processes
• Includes experimental, analytical, and numerical analyses of novel green composite filaments for the 3D printing industries
• Covers statistical analysis for green composites development using AM
• Deals with mechanical, thermal, and machinability of green composite filaments
• Addresses green filaments in various AM applications and their challenges

This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in composites, polymers, modelling, manufacturing, and materials engineering.
