Fiber Composite Materials

From the last few decades, the study of natural fiber composite materials has been gaining strong attention among researchers, scientists, and engineers. Natural fiber composite materials are becoming good alternatives to conventional materials because of their lightweight, high specific strength, low thermal expansion, eco-friendly, low manufacturing cost, nonabrasive and bio-degradable characteristics. It is proven that natural fiber is a great alternative to synthetic fiber in the sector of automobiles, railway, and aerospace. Researchers are developing various types of natural fiber-reinforced composites by combining different types of natural fiber such as jute, sisal, coir, hemp, abaca, bamboo, sugar can, kenaf, banana, etc. with various polymers such as polypropylene, epoxy resin, etc. as matrix material. Based on the application and required mechanical and thermal properties, numerous natural fiber-based composite manufacturing processes are available such as injection molding, compression molding, resin transfer molding, hand lay-up, filament welding, pultrusion, autoclave molding, additive manufacturing, etc. The aim of the paper is to present the developments of various manufacturing processes of natural fiber-based composites and obtained mechanical properties.

Background: With the improvement of environment protection awareness, human beings have gradually become aware of that the plastic products, waste are harmful to the human living environment. Therefore, research and application of biodegradable materials that do not rely on petroleum resources have become hot topics. Researchers have accelerated the development and promotion of plant fiber because they are good flexibility, relatively rough surface and biodegradable. Objective: The development of plant fiber composites is reviewed, including composition ratio, interfacial modification, processing technology, and the effects of these technologies on the properties of plant fiber composites. Methods: The paper reviews various patents and research developments about plant fiber composite materials. It also analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of various patents and technologies from the aspects of biodegradable ability, mechanical properties, dispersing performance, processing properties, cost, and so on.

The closed clamp is a standard tool for the insulator replacement in ultrahigh voltage (UHV) transmission lines, which is mainly made of titanium alloy material and weighs more than 27 kg that greatly reduces the working efficiency for operators. Due to the lightweight demand, carbon fiber composite materials are applied to design a new type of clamp, in which mechanical properties of new fixtures need to be fulfilled while considering poor impact resistance and low interlaminar shear strength of carbon fiber composite materials. To excavate a high-strength ply structure, finite element progressive damage strength analysis is employed to evaluate the mechanical properties of three different ply angles of the carbon fiber closed fixture, in which Tsai–Wu strength theory is thought as the strength judgment basis for carbon fiber composite materials. After comparison with the displacement-load curves, the three different ply angles fail to meet the strength requirements. So, a carbon fiber laminate structure with an outer cladding for carbon fiber closed fixtures is raised and verified. The analysis results show that the laminate structure meets the strength requirements. Destructive test of the new closed clamp is conducted to verify the correctness of the proposed method, and the weight is reduced by 36.46%.

Based on effective composite material failure criteria and property limited degradation model, axial compressive ultimate strength of composite laminated stiffened panels are analyzed by nonlinear laminated degenerated 3D finite element analysis, which is based on incremental continuum-based updated Lagrangian formulation. Comparison between analytical solutions and test results in this article indicates that this article provides an effective and practical method to evaluate the axial compressive ultimate strength of composite laminated stiffened panels. Using this method, ultimate strength of hull girders made of continuous basalt fiber composite materials are analyzed . Comparing the results，it can be seen that the ship hull in basalt fiber composite materials has equivalent longitudinal ultimate strength to S-2 glass fiber composite materials, basalt fiber composite material could replace the S-2 glass fiber composite materials used in shipbuilding engineering. The gist for building ship with basalt fiber composite materials was provided by this paper.
