The methodology is based on the use of Failure Assessment Diagrams (FADs), which are, in practice, the main fracture-plastic collapse assessment tool provided by structural integrity assessment procedures. When dealing with notch-type defects, the methodology requires, additionally, the application of a notch correction that it is based on the Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) and the Creager-Paris stress distribution ahead of the cracktip. The results show that the FAD methodology (alone, in cracked conditions, or in combination with the TCD in notched conditions) can be successfully applied in this AM polymer.}, organization = {This publication is part of the project “Comportamiento en fractura de materiales compuestos nano-reforzados con defectos tipo entalla, PGC2018-095400-B-I00” funded by MCIN/ AEI /10.13039/501100011033/ FEDER "Una manera de hacer Europa"}, publisher = {Elsevier B.V.}, publisher = {Procedia Structural Integrity, 2022, 42, 18-26}, publisher = {23 European Conference on Fracture - ECF23}, title = {Analysis of additively manufactured PLA containing notches using Failure Assessment Diagrams}, author = {Cicero González, Sergio and Martínez Mata, Víctor and Sánchez Matías, Marcos and Arrieta Gómez, Sergio}, }
