Particle Reinforced Composites

Particle shape plays a crucial role in the design of novel reinforced composites. We introduce the notion of a geometrical anisotropy index A to characterize the particle shape and establish its relationship with the effective elastic constants of biphase composite materials. Our analysis identifies three distinct regions of A: (i) By using ovoidal particles with small A, the effective stiffness scales linearly with A for a given volume fraction α; (ii) for intermediate values of A, the use of prolate particles yield better elastic properties; and (iii) for large A, the use of oblate particles result in higher effective stiffness. Interestingly, the transition from (ii) to (iii) occurs at a critical anisotropy Acr and is independent of α.

Basalt particles have been investigated as a novel additive for the production of glass fibre reinforced composite using sheet moulding compound (SMC) method. Compared to the CaCO3that are widely used as filler in the SMC composite, the resulting composites exhibit improved mechanical properties. The tensile strength increased by approximately 15%, whereas the flexural strength was enhanced by 8% in SMC composites prepared by basalt particles. Examination of the surface morphology and interfacial debonding of the specimens is also performed via scanning electron microscopy. Superior strength properties are observed in the basalt particle-reinforced composites compared to those with the CaCO3fillers.

Simulation Results

Mechanical properties of the co-continuous SiC/Al composites were simulated using the ANSYS software in this paper, and Kelvin model was adopted as SiC structure. The models of various SiC contents were calculated for composites, the influences of SiC volume fraction on the interface were analyzed. Compared with the particle reinforced composites, the influences of SiC structure on the interface and strength were investigated. The results showed that the SiC volume fraction has a certain effect on the interface of composites, the incoordination of deformation of SiC and Al causes the greater stress concentration with SiC volume fraction decreases, so that interface occurs the debonding. Compared the simulation results of co-continuous composites and particle reinforced composites, two stress-distance curves show that the stress decreases with the distance from the interface increases, and two stress-strain curves prove that the co-continuous composites have higher the yield strength and the deforming resistance.

Structural Applications

Natural fiber reinforced polymer composite is a much focused area of study owing to its environmentally friendly nature and good mechanical properties. These composites offer comparable mechanical properties to that of steel and other composite materials. Dynamic mechanical analysis is a widely used technique to investigate the mechanical performance of fiber reinforced composites at a wide range of temperatures. Using this technique, the thermal transitions and damping properties of fiber reinforced composites too can be studied. These natural fiber composites are widely employed in structural applications in many industries. Here, in this short review we have presented the recent works on the dynamic properties of natural fiber reinforced composite materials with an essence of the influencing factors.
