Secondary Cutting

Since the application of fiber-reinforced polymer continues to expand, the demands of product quality for secondary cutting process are becoming increasingly higher to ensure the accurate coordination, connection, and assembly. There are some defects such as tearing, burr, delamination, and thermal damage after secondary cutting process, which limit the further applications of the materials. It is urgent to carry out comprehensive research on the secondary processing technology. In this paper, the fiber-reinforced composites' category, characteristics, and their applications were first described. Then the cutting performances, the causes of machining defects, and machining mechanisms have been analyzed. Finally, different compound processing methods, their characteristics, and applications have been elaborated. The most common forms of compound processing method including combined machining of cutting and grinding, ultrasonic vibration–assisted machining, and low-temperature–assisted machining have been covered in this paper. Results show that the compound processing method is the most effective way for improving the second processing quality of fiber-reinforced polymer. More machining mechanisms and applications of compound processing method need further experimental research. The barriers and future in the fields of research on machining of fiber-reinforced composites have been analyzed in this paper.

Fiber Orientation Distribution

The fiber-reinforced polymer composites are important alternative for conventional structural materials because of their excellent comprehensive performance and weight reduction. The mechanical properties of such composite materials are mainly determined by the fiber orientation induced through practical manufacturing process. In the study, a through process modeling (TPM) method coupling the microstructure evolution and the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composites in practical processing is presented. The numerical methodology based on the finite volume method is performed to investigate three-dimensional forming process in the injection molding of fiber-reinforced composites. The evolution of fiber orientation distribution is successfully predicted by using a reduced strain closure model. The corresponding finite volume model for TPM is detailedly derived and the pressure implicit with splitting of operators (PISO) algorithm is employed to improve computational stability. The flow-induced multilayer structure is successfully predicted according to essential flow characteristics and the fiber orientation distribution. The mechanical properties of such anisotropy composites is further calculated based on the stiffness analysis and the Tandon–Weng model. The improvement of mechanical properties in each direction of the injection molded product are evaluated by using the established mathematical model and numerical algorithm. The influences of the geometric structure of injection mold cavity, the fiber volume fractions, and the fiber aspect ratios on the mechanical properties of composite products are further discussed. The mathematical model and numerical method proposed in the study can be successfully adopted to investigate the structural response of composites in practical manufacturing process that will be helpful for optimum processing design.

Recycling of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) is a trending topic in the context of the current levels of CFRPs application in different industries and evolving environmental legislation and regulations. However, the recycling processes tend to be accompanied by various uncertainties leading to an increase of difficulties in evaluating them. This study aims to investigate the uncertainties that accompany the recycling of CFRPs by identifying, categorizing, and analysing their impacts. Four main categories such as technical (primary recycling process), recyclate pre-processing, supply chain, and market uncertainties were identified in this study and analysed in a wider context.

Composite structural self-diagnostic (CSSD) technology has been tested to detect the mechanical damages in carbon-fiber reinforced polymer-matrix composites. In order to characterize the self-sensing technique for damage detection, discrete electrodes were mounted on Double-Cantilever-Beam (DCB). Results on mechanical properties with corresponding electrical resistance changes of the CFRC specimens are presented in this paper. The lay-up configuration of the composite specimens is [06/Teflon/06]T. In addition, acoustic emission was also used to corroborate the CSSD results.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites

In the last decade, natural plant fibers (jute, sisal, coir, banana, hemp, kenaf, flax, etc.) are getting attention from many researchers and academicians to utilize it as an alternate reinforcement of synthetic fiber reinforced polymer composites. These fibers are becoming a great replacement of conventional fibers (such as glass, carbon, and aramid) due to their light weight, low cost, carbon neutrality, fairly good mechanical properties, high specific strength, and biodegradability characteristics. Some chemical treatments are required to enhance the fiber matrix interfacial strength and to minimize the moisture absorption by these fibers which would ultimately improve physico-mechanical properties of these fiber reinforced composites. This paper is a review on mechanical properties of the natural plant fiber reinforced polymer composites and various factors affecting the mechanical performance of it. The tribological behavior of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites and scanning electron microscope analysis are also discussed. Some mathematical models are mentioned which are useful to predict mechanical behavior of the composites. It is found that Halpin–Tsai equation is the most effective equation amongst others in predicting Young’s modulus for short-fiber reinforced composites with minimum error. The applications of natural plant fiber reinforced polymer composites in various engineering fields are discussed.
