Design and Manufacture of Recurve Bow Riser Using Fused Deposition Modeling and Fibre-Reinforced Composite Material

This research redesigned and manufactured the archery recurve bow riser using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) system to improve its design, weight and strength. Available design of bow riser was surveyed to get inspiration for new design. Final design of the bow riser design was developed with a CAD software. Prototype of the final design of the bow riser was produced by FDM system with ABS material. Coating the prototype with carbon fibre was made. Vacuum bagging process and mechanical compression process was applied to bond the multiple layers of carbon fibre composite material. The multiple layers were tested using Universal Testing Machine to test the flexural property of the redesigned carbon fibre composite coated bow riser prototype. It is found that the multiple layer of composite can withstand up to 0.1 KN of load. Thus, the study shows that reinforcing the redesigned bow riser prototype using carbon fibre composite is suitable for it is light, easy to shape and strong properties.

Lightning Strikes

The various types of current waveforms associated with lightning discharges are discussed together with their relevance to different areas of the aircraft structures. The physical damage that could be sustained by aircraft material due to lightning strikes, in particular the damage to composite material especially carbon fibre, is described. This damage is primarily due to the very fast heating and impulsive forces which lightning currents can produce. Minimum cross-sectional areas required to carry these currents safely are discussed as well as the effect of moisture content and loading the samples during test for the case of carbon fibre composite material. Details of the effects of arc attachment to various composite materials and also metal with the degree and type of damage that can be produced are reviewed.

This work is focused on the experimental investigations for wear properties of rapid tooling with nano scale fillers for grinding applications. The rapid tooling has been prepared by using composite material feed stock filament (consisting of Nylon6 as a binder, reinforced with biocompatible nano scaled Al2O3 particles on fused deposition modeling (FDM) for the development of grinding wheel having customized wear resistant properties. A comparative study has been conducted under dry sliding conditions in order to understand the tribological characteristics of FDM prints of composite material and commercially used acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) material. This study also highlights the various wear mechanisms (such as adhesive, fatigue and abrasive) encountered with newly prepared composite material while grinding. The FDM printed parts of proposed composite material feedstock filament are more suitable for grinding applications especially in clinical dentistry.

The Impact

Due to the significant properties of silica, thermostatics can be enhanced using silica-additives to maximize the quality of polymer compounds and transform plastics into tailored properties. The silica additives can enhance the handling and quality performance of composites and thermoplastic polymers due to their diverse potential. Besides, using silica as an additive in different characteristics can allow granulates and powders to flow easily, minimize caking, and control rheology. On the other hand, the eruption of 3D printing technology has led to a massive new waste source of plastics, especially the polylactic acid (PLA) that is associated with the fused deposition modeling (FDM) process. In this paper, the impact on the mechanical properties when silica is mixed with waste PLA from 3D printing was studied. The PLA/silica mixtures were prepared using different blends through twin extruders and a Universal Testing Machine was used for the mechanical characterization. The result indicated that increasing silica composition resulted in the increase of the tensile strength to 121.03 MPa at 10 wt%. Similar trends were also observed for the toughness, ductility, and the yield stress values of the PLA/silica blends at 10 wt%, which corresponds to the increased mechanical property of the composite material reinforced by the silica particles. Improvement in the mechanical properties of the developed composite material promotes the effective recycling of PLA from applications such as 3D printing and the potential of reusing it in the same application.
