Static And Dynamic Analysis

This paper discusses about the weight reduction in the wing structure that improves the productivity and performance of an aircraft wing. Decrease in the mass of the wings has higher significance compared all other air craft parts Aircraft wing structures are analyzed with LM25 and a metal matrix composite material which is a mix of LM25 and Silicon Carbide (SiC) where in aluminum is the base metal and silicon carbide is added in different weight proportions. By varying silicon carbide percentage in LM25 four types of samples are prepared utilizing stir casting process. The young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and thickness of every sample are determined cautiously by exposing the sample to tensile test and hardness test. By looking at the material properties acquired tentatively ideal level of silicon carbide in aluminum is found. Static basic investigation is completed in ANSYS by contributing the properties of the ideal example which are acquired tentatively. The outcomes acquired from ANSYS for pure AL25 and metal matrix composite (SiC) are compared. By looking at the outcomes it is discovered that composite material has preferred material properties and stresses over LM25.

Casting Technique

This work brings out the numerical simulation of the stir casting technique for aluminium silicon carbide Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) in a closed crucible and the effect of the blade geometry and rotational velocity on solidification of the metal matrix composite has been predictedusing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach. The material used in the crucible is silicon carbide in aluminiummetal matrix. Geometric modelling and meshing have been carried out using ANSYS ICEM CFD. Computer simulations have been carried using the commercial CFD package, ANSYS FLUENT. The calculations used 2-D discrete phase, solidification and melting model and enthalpy method. Mushy state mixing, indicative of the solidification patterns have been studied to predict the most suitable ratio of crucible to blade dimensions and speed of stirring to obtain the most uniform type of solidification which in turn induces some enhanced mechanical properties to the casting.

Specific Strength

Magnesium-based composite materials play an important role in aerospace and automobile industries because of their low density, stiffness & high specific strength. These hybrid composite materials were needed to increase the strength, surface finish, machinability, corrosion resistance, etc. To address such a problem this work has been focused on the preparation of magnesium-based metal matrix composite materials AZ91C reinforced with the B4C with two different proportions which are prepared by using the casting process. For the characterization of the prepared Mg-based MMCs, various tests like tensile test and hardness test have been performed on three model sample specimens of namely AZ91C(100%)+B4C(0%). AZ91C(98%)+B4C(2%) And AZ91C(96%)+B4C(4%). It was found that the compressive strength is and hardness is decreased due to the addition of the B4C to the matrix alloy AZ91C while tensile strength is increased. The tensile strength is increased by 15.58% with the addition of 4% B4C when compared with 2% of B4C and also hardness is increased by 31.49%. The compressive strength is decreased by 41.43% with the addition of 4% B4C when compared with 2% of B4C.
