Status of Composite Materials in Automobile Sector
Abstract: Composite materials may someday have big advantages over steel in automobile manufacturing. Composites are being considered to make lighter, safer and more fuel-efficient vehicles. A composite is composed of a high-performance fiber (such as carbon or glass) in a matrix material (epoxy polymer) that when combined provides enhanced properties compared with the individual materials by themselves. Carbon-fiber composites weigh about one-fifth as much as steel, but are as good or …

Finite Element Analysis of Composite Tube
Abstract: Abstract – In many industries, composite tubes are preferable than other materials, like, aluminum, steel, wood, iron. The durability, strength, stiffness, weather and corrosion resistance of the tubes are required properties in industries. It is fabricated in several layers depending on their functions. In this study, composite tube is modeled using ANSYS software by changing material properties and layer orientation. ANSYS can predict results before fabricating composite sample. The meshed …

Finite Element Analysis of Composite Pressure Vessel with Non-Geodesic Fiber Trajectory In view of Friction Factors on Cylinder and End Domes
Abstract: Composites are materials created by dissimilar materials with a view to improve the properties or to create materials with desired properties. Progressive Fiber Polymer Composites have developed as an essential class of industrial materials for load carrying applications with well-rounded properties for many industrial and social applications. Structures like pressure vessels, pipes and motor casings made-up of Filament Winding technology are widely used in aerospace applications. Conventionally, pressure vessels were …

Investigation on Catalyst Selection for Polymerization Processes in Petrochemical Industries
Abstract: Organic polymers are long-chain compounds made of several repeating units. These polymers are either natural, such as protein, cellulose, starch or synthetic, such as polyethylene (a plastic), polyesters and polyamides (plastics and fibers) and polybutadiene (rubber).Many organic compounds possessing multiple bonds have the tendency to polymerize in the presence of an initiator. Polymerization of these compounds can either be affected by the use of chemical initiators such as free radicals …

Experimental and Finite-Element Analysis of Tee Joint’s Stiffness Characteristics of A3003 Honeycomb Core Sandwich Panels
Abstract: Aluminum honeycomb is used as a core material for sandwich panels of floors, roofs, doors, partitions, working surfaces for automatic machines, and for all products which require high degree of flatness and optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio. Invariably, in the fabrication of the above panels, butt and tee joints are encountered so as to get the required complex shapes. In this paper, various edging and configuration details that have been used to …

A Review on Escalation of Bike Chassis
Abstract: The body outline shapes the foundation of a vehicle; its rule work is to convey the greatest burden for all planned working circumstances securely. A vehicle's chassis is the main carriage framework. The frame serves as a framework on which items such as the gearbox and motor are placed. The bike chassis comprises of the suspension, frame, brakes and wheels. The chassis is the base which represents overall style of …

Fatigue Stress Analysis of Composite Material Leaf Spring
Abstract: The finite element (FE) modeling and analysis of a multi-leaf spring has been carried out. It includes two full-length leaves in which one is with eyed ends and seven graduated length leaves. Different types of material have been chosen like steel, aluminum, carbon epoxy and glass epoxy. The model of the leaf spring has been generated in Pro/e5.0 and imported in ANSYS-12 for FE analysis, which are the most popular …

Microstructural and Mechanical Behavior of Al6082/SiC/Gr Hybrid Composites
Abstract: The aim involved in designing metal matrix composite materials is to combine the desirable attributes of metals and ceramics. The present work is focused on the study of behavior of aluminum alloy (Al6082) with SiC and graphite (Gr) composites produced by the stir-casting technique. The reinforcement percentage is varied from 5% to 15% in a step of three. Microstructure test, tensile test, and hardness tests are performed on the samples …

3D Stress State Dependent Failure Model for Fracture Simulations
Abstract: The state of stress is defined by triaxiality (hydrostatic pressure) and the lode angle parameter (deviatoric stress third invariant). The stress state not only varies with different kinds of loading but also with the location of the stress concentration, geometry of specimen and deformation. The LS-DYNA implementation of a strain-based, stress state dependent failure criterion for a ductile material is investigated through simulations of standard experiments in this paper. A …
