Numerical aided program for obtaining optimum combination of fibres, matrix and fiber volume fraction for aircraft applications / Imee Lister Daungkil
Sifat lamina atau eka-arah komposit boleh ditentukan secara eksperimen dari ujian kupon sederhana.Namun, kerana keanekaragaman sifat-sifat serat dan matriks yang luas, adalah tidak sesuai untuk melakukan pengujian untuk semua bahan komposit yang ada kerana ujian-ujian mengambil masa yang lama dan memerlukan kos yang tinggi.Ini kerana matriks dan serat adalah merupakan fungsi beberapa pembolehubah; juzuk individu bahan komposit, pecahan isipadu serat, geometri bungkusan, pemprosesan, dll. Dengan menggunakan kaedah lain, sifat-sifat eka-arah komposit boleh dianggar melalui analisis model matematik dengan menggunakan sifat-sifat individu bahan juzuk. Ini boleh dilakukan melalui kaedah mikromekanikal dan makromekanikal di mana anggaran sifat-sifat mekanikal boleh dilakukan apabila data ujian tidak tersedia. Melalui kaedah ini, pembolehubah boleh dimanipulasi untuk mendapatkan sifat-sifat optimum bagi serat komposit eka-arah yang diperlukan. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menentukan bagaimana kedua-dua pembolehubah iaitu pecahan isipadu serat dan sudut orentasi serat boleh menghasilkan sifat-sifat kekakuan dan kekuatan yang optimum melalui kaedah analisis model matematik dengan bantuan program numerikal. Pengaturcara grafik pengguna, (GUI) yang ringkas mengabungkan program numerikal, Matlab telah dibangunkan untuk membantu dalam melakukan perbandingan di antara hasil analitik yang disahkan menggunakan data eksperimen dari penerbitan. Model analitik tersebut mempunyai keputusan yang hampir dengan keputusan eksperimen.Orientasi serat dan juzuk individu bahan yang berbeza diselidiki di mana 12 konstan elastik dan kekuatan untuk lamina eka-arah dan lamina luar paksi telah ditentukan. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lamina or unidirectional composites properties can be determined experimentally from simple coupon tests. However due to substantial diversity of fiber and matrix properties, it is impractical to do testing for all available composite materials as testing is time consuming and costly since they are the functions of several design variables; the individual constituents of the composite material, fiber volume fraction, packing geometry, processing, etc. Another approach is to develop an analytical mathematical modeling to predict unidirectional composites properties by using properties of the constituent materials through the procedures of micromechanical and macromechanics which can provide useful approximate values when test data are unavailable. By using such approach, the design variables can be manipulated to achieve required optimum mechanical properties unidirectional continuous fiber composites. The purpose of this present study was to determine how both design variables fiber volume fraction and fiber orientation variations can produce optimum stiffness and strength properties by using analytical approach with the aid of numerical aided program. A simplified graphical user interface, (GUI) based on the Matlab program has been developed to assist in performing comparisons between analytical results .The results were validated using experimental data from the literature. It was found that the analytical model agreed well with those of the experiment results. Different fiber orientation and fiber volume fraction were investigated in which the elastic constants and strength for unidirectional lamina and off-axis lamina were obtained.
