Crashworthiness optimization of biodegradable 3D-printed structures via geometric triggers and fuzzy Logic integration

This study investigates the crashworthiness of 3D-printed Polylactic Acid (PLA+) thin-walled tubes with engineered geometric cut-outs under quasi-static axial compression. Using a Taguchi L18 orthogonal array, the effects of wall thickness (2, 4, and 6 mm) and cut-out parameters...
