Cfrp Composite

CFRP composite with light weight, high strength, and high elasticity compared to metal is widely used rather than previous steel plates. However, CFRP composite material has the weakness in hygrothermal and impact collapsed environment. Especially, moisture absorption into composite material under hygrothermal environment can change molecule arrangement and chemical properties. Therefore, the purpose of this study lies in acquiring quantitative design data that can be put into the practice by comparing and evaluating the strength degradation under the environment where the moisture is absorbed by conducting static and impact collapse test after setting extreme condition for CFRP composite that takes consistent form such as frontal side members that is actually used in vehicle. This study compared and studied change in the progress of a moisture absorption ratio after setting up the temperature of 60 degrees, and 80 degrees in order to comprehend how the change in the temperature impacts on moisture absorption status inside CFRP composite materials. As a result of this study showed that the strength reduction of about 50% appears due to moisture absorptions. In addition, it showed that the higher the temperature is, the more rapid the progress of a moisture absorption inside CFRP composite materials is. Accordingly, it showed that the change in matrix also has a weak point.

Rapid expansion of technologies poses higher requirements to structural materials and items made of them. Conventional materials are being replaced by composite materials (composites). Different additives enhancing the properties of initial materials are used as reinforcement fibers of composites. Utilization of micro-and nanosize particles for production of present-day materials is paid much attention to. Whiskers are among such materials. These crystals have high strength, high chemical and temperature resistance. But for rational utilization of whickers of different chemical composition in composite materials one should know their physical and chemical properties. Objectives of the paper: to study physical and chemical properties of whiskers in different compounds, their composition and structure; to prove experimentally the feasibility of utilizing whiskers as a reinforcement fiber of composite materials. Object of study: specimens of whiskers of silicon nitride (Si3N4), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), aluminum nitride (AlN), and mullite (Al6Si2O13). Methods of investigation: thermal study of specimens, study of mechanical properties and chemical strength, and IR-spectroscopy. Results of study: specimens of whiskers have been studied and their mechanical properties have been tabulated for comparison. Extensive thermal investigation was followed by deduction of regularities and identification of chemical properties of whiskers. IR-spectra of whiskers have been studied and conclusions on molecular composition and on presence of impurities in some whiskers have been made.

Hybrid Metal Matrix Composite

The composite material is a combination of two or more materials with different physical and chemical properties. The composite has superior characteristics than those individual components. A hybrid composite is the one which contains at least three materials. When the matrix material is a metal, the composite is termed as metal matrix composites (MMC). The MMC is a composite material with two constituent parts, one being a metal. The other material may be another metal, ceramic or fiber. Among all the MMC’s, Aluminium is the most widely used matrix material due to its light weight, high strength and hardness. This paper deals with the fabrication and mechanical investigation of hybrid metal matrix composite Al - SiC. The fabrication is done by stir casting by adding the required quantities of additives into the stirred molten Aluminium. The results show significant effect of mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield stress and flexural strength. The internal structure of the composite is observed using Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and found that are formation of pores in them.

The process of TPP fly ash treatment for production of efficient thermal protection composite materials with improved operational characteristics has been presented. One of the methods of rational using fly ash that is formed during coal combustion at thermal power plants is its application as a filler in composite materials. The developed composites based on fly ash and polymer resins form a new class of heat insulating materials that boast higher fire resistance, low density, lower moisture absorption compared with analogues, and high strength. The materials have a broad application range as heat insulators: from small diameter pipelines to industrial facilities. The data obtained by the authors indicate the possibility for safe application of these materials as modern heat retainers for heat insulation of pipeline systems and buildings.

The increasing demand for newer materials with versatile properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio; has made fiber reinforced composite materials a favourable choice in various applications, particularly in the automotive, aerospace, marine, sports and defense industries. Moreover, the properties of a composite material could be tailored for specific functions or applications. Despite its many attractive features, composite material fails in a complex manner involving matrix failure, fiber failure and delamination. This failure behaviour needs to be well established. The objective of this study is to perform failure analysis on a woven Kevlar/Epoxy composite laminate subjected to uniaxial tension and establish its failure trend. The lamination sequence is (θ4/04/-θ4)S where the angle, θ, ranges from 0o to 90o. The failure analysis was carried out using a commercial finite element software, Ansys and comparisons were made using analytical methods (Matlab). The values of stresses were computed and Maximum Stress Theory was employed to check for failure. The trend of failure, in terms of the failure curves (normalized first ply failure and last ply failure loads), for woven Kevlar/Epoxy was established. This study had produced new failure datas for woven Kevlar/Epoxy and thus, contributes significant knowledge about the failure behaviour of composite materials.

The 1960S

Composite materials have been used to resolve industrial problems. Considerable attention from the industrial side started in the 1960s with the introduction of polymer-based composite materials. Their advantages such as low weight (density), resistance to corrosion, high strength and low maintenance cost made composite materials an attractive substitute to conventional materials. A new composite material was developed with 10% natural fiber at 0o, 90o and 0/90o orientations resulting in ample improvements in the mechanical properties as compared to previous studies. The sample at 0/90o orientation gives the best results with tensile, tensile strength, tensile elongation and Young's Modulus values of 2458.19N, 4594.5MPA, 4.7% and 23.0 respectively

Abstract The connecting rod, as an important part in internal combustion engines, has been most widely used in automotive industry, and its main function is to transfer the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotatory motion of the crankshaft. In this study, fatigue analysis of the connecting rod is performed numerically for different engine speeds. With this aim, it is attempted to reduce the weight of the connecting rod by choosing the low density and high strength of GFRP and CFRP composite materials instead of structural steel. In this way, it is possible to improve the engine efficiency with saving unnecessary balancing weights as well as reducing the cost of the connecting rod. In the current study, the connecting rod was modeled using Solidworks software, and its CAD model was transferred to the ANSYS/Workbench software for Finite Element Analyses (FEA). In FEA, fatigue analyses were performed to determine fatigue parameters such as alternating stress, deformation, fatigue life and safety factor according to Soderberg’s fatigue model. Results from this study showed that alternating stress and safety factor reached a critical value between piston pin end and crank end near to the piston pin end. Alternating stress values of the GFRP and CFRP connecting rods were much lower than those of structural steel rod. In contrast to reduction of the weight by 1/5, fatigue life of the connecting rod with structural steel material was much greater than those of GFRP and CFRP providing a higher safety factor compared with composite materials.

Advanced Composite Materials

Advanced composite materials (ACMs) are also known as advanced polymer matrix composites. These are generally characterized or determined by unusually high strength fibers with unusually high stiffness, or modulus of elasticity characteristics, compared to other materials, while bound together by weaker matrices. These are termed advanced composite materials (ACMs) in comparison to the composite materials commonly in use such as reinforced concrete, or even concrete itself. The high strength fibers are also low density while occupying a large fraction of the volume. Advanced composites exhibit desirable physical and chemical properties that include light weight coupled with high stiffness (elasticity), and strength along the direction of the reinforcing fiber, dimensional stability, temperature and chemical resistance, flex performance and relatively easy processing. Advanced composites are replacing metal components in many uses, particularly in the aerospace industry.
