The use of composite materials has provided designers with increased opportunities for tailoring structures and materials to meet load requirements and changing and demanding environments. This has led to their increased use in structural applications. As with traditional materials the selection of an appropriate material for a design is important. In case of design using composite materials the selection of a material consists of selecting a fiber-resin combination which meets all design requirements. This involves choosing the fiber, the resin, and the proportion of these two constituents in the composite material. The phrase “material selection” refers to the problem of laminate selection. This corresponds to the task of choosing a fiber and resin combination based on technical and economic factors. Materials tailoring, on the other hand, involves manipulating the composition of the composite material to achieve desired properties and it is the selection of a fiber and resin simultaneously but separately. In this paper we present, through an example, a multiobjective optimization-based method for assisting a designer in tailoring composite materials for specific technical and economic objectives.

Automotive components made from composite materials can result in significant weight savings over steel and Aluminum. The main purpose of this research is to study about the selection of suitable composite material for automobile torsion bar which possesses good strength to weight ratio and yield considerable weight savings. This paper involves identification of potential composite materials, selection of evaluation criteria, use of fuzzy theory to quantify criteria values under uncertainty and application of fuzzy Linguistics to evaluate and select the best material for replacing conventional steel material with composite material used in automobile torsion bar. The strength of the proposed paper is the ability to deal with uncertainty arising due to the lack of real data in material selection for replacing the conventional material.Keywords:- Composite material, Incomplete linguistic preference relations, AHP, Decision analysis, Consistent fuzzy preference relations, Multi-criteria decision making

The wide range of properties covered by the manufacturable fiber-matrix combinations of composite materials, along with their directional property characteristics, provides designers with material selection flexibility during designing composite material products. Meeting multiple property goals, however, complicates the design process as both the composite material selection and the component shape formation become complicated because the loading conditions and matrix calculations are needed to determine theoretical value of composite material properties. This paper presents a grammatical approach to simultaneously consider the shape and selection composite materials for a load-bearing component. Selection of composites involve determining the fiber and matrix, their volume fraction, and number of layers in different location of the component. A hip-replacement joint is designed using composite material to illustrate the approach.

Composite materials have the great potential and widely used as building material in numerous applications. Polymer composite material obtains the necessary properties in a controlled significant degree by the selection of strands and lattice. The properties of the materials have been selected by choosing the correct proportion of matrix and reinforcements. To build the quality of the material by expanding the fiber substance of the material. In this current examination, the mechanical properties of the glass fiber and graphite is strengthened with epoxy polymer composite were considered. Here the open embellishment method was received for the manufacture of the polymer composite The mechanical properties, for example, rigidity, compression quality, sway quality and water ingestion test was resolved according to the ASTM norms. The mechanical properties were improved as the filaments support content expanded in the grid material.

With the advancements of composite materials and research in nano-composites, designers have the flexibility to select materials from a wide range of properties to meet their specific design needs. Even with all these advancements, the material selection process during design follows a very conventional approach. The conventional approach to material design is to select a certain material from a given pre-set material list that allows the attainment of nearest properties required for the product. One of the disadvantages of this approach is that the trade-off inherent in the selection of material, when multiple properties are targeted, can be cumbersome to achieve or addressed at all. In this paper we present an approach to select and design composite materials, where the designer will have flexibility to select multiple properties of materials during the design of a new product. This approach employs an index for selection combined with heuristic optimization techniques to select the optimized combination of composite materials that could meet closest possible property goals. In the case study presented in this paper, we did not perform any optimization; rather, emphasize is given to the explanation of material selection technique, and an RMS value is introduced as an index for the selection.

. In this paper a parametric static and torsion analysis on a catamaran ship structure made out of composites materials is performed. The best solution for material selection is based on specific criteria for certain analysis. For dynamic analysis, the main criteria is to obtain the structure natural frequencies in a range, far from the resonance frequencies produced by the ship propulsion installation, wave loads etc. For static analysis the comparative criteria is to obtain the lowest weight of structure for the same strength. Also, buckling item is other criteria for comparative analysis. The comparative analysis is performed between rule based scantling structure and a FEM based structure for a composite material twin hull deck, in order to reduce the total hull weight. Material used for ship deck structure of the analyzed ship is e-glass polyester.

The recent development of a new composite material with superior properties for structural applications is described. The development consisted of selection of matrix and filament materials, the fabrication of a number of composite panels qualification testing, evaluation of secondary fabrication methods and design application studies. It was demonstrated that the new composite material, aluminum-boron-stainless steel (A1-B-SS), could be made in various forms, shapes and sizes, that it possessed very desirable mechanical and physical properties, and that it could be satisfactorily cut, machined, formed and joined by a variety of methods. The potential weight savings (typically 30–45 percent) and other attractive properties make the A1-B-SS composite particularly promising for a number of structural applications.
