Abstract:

Composite materials have found extensive use among many industries including automotive. Vehicles are supposed to be lightweight, have low emission and energy consumption to provide some environmental protection while having appropriate stiffness and strength to assure occupant protection. These requirements can be met with the use of composite materials. Although composites have been present in the industry for decades, their use in the automotive sector is moderately new, which requires development in design and manufacturing processes, testing, and recycling - this paper indicates the details by which the automotive industry differs from others. Principal recycling methods, related legislation, and where recycling products are used are described. Specific uses of composite materials that show a high level of innovativeness are indicated - hybrid and natural composites, structural batteries, and high-performance vehicles.

Abstract:

: In the recent years, automakers have been striving to improve the carbon footprint of their vehicles. Sustainable composites, consisting of natural fibers, and/or recycled polymers have been developed as a way to increase the “green content” and reduce the weight of a vehicle. In addition, recent studies have found that the introduction of synthetic fibers to a traditional fiber composite such as glass filled plastics, producing a composite with multiple fillers (hybrid fibers), can result in superior mechanical properties. The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of hybrid fibers on characterization and material properties of polyamide-6 (PA6)/polypropylene (PP) blends. Cellulose and glass fibers were used as fillers and the mechanical, water absorption, and morphological properties of composites were evaluated. The addition of hybrid fibers increased the stiffness (tensile and flexural modulus) of the composites. Glass fibers reduced composite water absorption while the addition of cellulose fibers resulted in higher composite stiffness. The mechanical properties of glass and cellulose filled PA6/PP composites were optimized at loading levels of 15 wt% glass and 10 wt% cellulose, respectively.

Abstract:

In response to the high demand for light automotive, manufacturers are showing a vital interest in replacing heavy metallic components with composite materials that exhibit unparalleled strength-to-weight ratios and excellent properties. Unidirectional carbon/epoxy prepreg was suitable for automotive applications such as the front part of the vehicle (hood) due to its excellent crash performance. In this study, UD carbon/epoxy prepreg with 70% and 30% volume fraction of reinforcement and resin, respectively, was used to fabricate the composite laminates. The responses of different three stacking sequences of automotive composite laminates to low-velocity impact damage and flexural and crash performance properties were investigated. Three-point bending and drop-weight impact tests were carried out to determine the flexural modulus, strength, and impact damage behavior of selected materials. Optical microscopy analysis was used to identify the failure modes in the composites. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and C-scan non-destructive methods were utilized to explore the fractures in the composites after impact tests. Moreover, the performance index and absorbed energy of the tested structures were studied. The results showed that the flexural strength and modulus of automotive composite laminates strongly depended on the stacking sequence. The highest crash resistance was noticed in the laminate with a stacking sequence of [[0, 90, 45, −45]2, 0, 90]S. Therefore, the fabrication of a composite laminate structure enhanced by selected stacking sequences is an excellent way to improve the crash performance properties of automotive composite structures.

Abstract:

(One) Background: Using textile waste materials in composites is a well-known problem and is frequently addressed by various scientific teams. Most of this work concerns textile waste introduced into composites as yarn strands. The present work focuses on adding textile wastes prepared in the form of single filaments of yarn spun to fluff, which was produced from waste felt materials from the automotive industry. (Two) Methods: The material was extracted from the bulkheads of worn-out vehicles, serving as thermal and acoustic insulation. The waste was shredded to form single yarn fibres with a fibre diameter of 0.08–0.3 mm and a 2–8 cm length. The shredded waste was used as a filler and modifier for composites. Four test batches were produced with different recyclate contents. A traditional cementitious composite without additives was used as a comparison material. (Three) Results: Composites filled with 3% felt waste have 23.31% lower density (1.71 g/cm3), 71.03% higher absorbability (21.58%), 49.58% lower tensile strength (19.86 MPa), and 53.55% lower compressive strength (3.64 MPa) than traditional composites. Partitions made of these composites had much higher thermal insulation than traditional composites. Composite made of 1% waste was resistant to the phenomena of thermal spalling. Moreover, the spot flame loading did not damage the composite, and there were no scratches or defects. (Four) Conclusions: The tests proved that the waste felt materials could potentially be used as fillers and modifiers in lightweight composites with higher thermal insulation. The addition of felt fibres improves the resistance of the composite to local spalling.

Abstract:

Indonesia has a large variety of natural fibers in abundance. Some of natural fibers become organic waste if not used for something needed by humans. One of the potential uses of natural fiber composite materials is to be used in automotive components. But before natural fiber composites are used in automotive components, it is necessary to examine first what are the requirements for mechanical properties or other properties required by the automotive components. Especially the automotive components which have been made from Polymers, like dash board, Car interior walls, front and rear bumper and Car body, etc. Each of these automotive components has different function and condition, and that caused different mechanical properties needed. The purpose of this study is collecting the data from the literature, related to the properties needed for these automotive components. This study was conducted by studying the literature of research journals in the last 10 years. From the research journals, data on the requirements of mechanical properties for automotive components will be collected. Furthermore, the data of mechanical properties required for automotive components can be used as a reference to determine the reliability of automotive components made from composite

Abstract:

Composite materials are important engineering materials due to their outstanding mechanical properties. Composites are materials in which the desirable properties of separate materials are combined by mechanically binding them together. Each of the components retains its structure and characteristic, but the composite generally possesses better properties. Composite materials offer superior properties to conventional alloys for various applications as they have high stiffness, strength and wear resistance. The development of these materials started with the production of continuous-fiber-reinforced composites. The high cost and difficulty of processing these composites restricted their application and led to the development of discontinuously reinforced composites. The aim involved in designing metal matrix composite materials is to combine the desirable attributes of metals and ceramics. The addition of high strength, high modulus refractory particles to a ductile metal matrix produce a material whose mechanical properties are intermediate between the matrix alloy and the ceramic reinforcement. Metal Matrix Composites with Aluminum as metal matrix is the burning area for research now a days.

Abstract:

Industrialization and population growth have significantly increased the demand for lightweight, high-strength materials for construction and automotive applications, ultimately increasing the demand for eco-friendly materials. Due to its environmental acceptability, technological feasibility, and economic viability, natural fiber-reinforced composite exhibits many potential engineering applications. However, the production and recycling of natural fibers are expensive. Researchers are now comparing natural fiber-reinforced composites with synthetic composites to determine the best materials, especially for construction and automotive engineering applications. This review paper focuses on natural fiber reinforced epoxy composites’ physical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics. These properties are critical for the effective design and use of composite materials such as construction and automotive applications. This review begins with a background of epoxy and natural fibers. The physical and chemical treatment for natural fiber composites to improve their properties is also briefly discussed, along with the critical factors affecting the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of natural fiber-reinforced composites. Finally, concluding remarks and suggestions for future works are given.

Abstract:

The automotive industry stands in front of a great challenge, to decrease its impact on the environment. One important part in succeeding with this is to decrease the structural weight of the body structure and by that the fuel consumption or the required battery power. Carbon fibre composites are by many seen as the only real option when traditional engineering materials are running out of potential for further weight reduction. However, the automotive industry lacks experience working with structural composites and the methods for high volume composite manufacturing are immature. The development of a composite automotive body structure, therefore, needs methods to support and guide the conceptual work to improve the financial and technical results. In this thesis a framework is presented which will provide guidelines for the conceptual phase of the development of an automotive body structure. The framework follows two main paths, one to strive for the ideal material diversity, which also defines an initial partition of the body structure based on the process and material selection. Secondly, a further analysis of the structures are made to evaluate if a more cost and weight efficient solution can be found by a more differential design and by that define the ideal part size. In the case and parameter studies performed, different carbon fibre composite material systems and processes are compared and evaluated. The results show that high performance material system with continuous fibres becomes both more cost and performance effective compared to industrialised discontinuous fibre composites. But also that cycle times, sometimes, are less important than a competitive feedstock cost for a manufacturing process. When further analysing the manufacturing design of the structures it is seen that further partition(s) can become cost effective if the size and complexity is large enough.<br><p>QC 20140527</p>

Abstract:

Il lavoro di Tesi di Dottorato si è concentrato sui cosiddetti “Advanced Composite Material”, ovvero i materiali compositi rinforzati con fibra continua (tessuta o unidirezionale) e a matrice termoplastica anziché termoindurente, cercando di dare un contributo alla ricerca e alla loro sperimentazione. Questi materiali sono già abbondantemente utilizzati in ambito aerospaziale e militare, ancora poco negli altri campi, come quello automotive, in cui essi sono sicuramente molto innovativi e interessanti. In questa tesi infatti i materiali compositi saranno trattati soprattutto per applicazioni automotive, in cui a tutti i benefici dei laminati ottenuti da prepreg tradizionali si aggiungono i vantaggi e benefici della matrice termoplastica, tra cui la reciclabilità e la processabilità, fattori molto importanti soprattutto per le grandi produzioni di serie. Si si è scelto un caso applicativo automobilistico, in particolare un sistema sospensivo a balestra trasversale, che da una parte ha permesso di focalizzare il lavoro, dall’altra ha voluto essere un case study dell’attività svolta, della parte sperimentali e della validazione del modello virtuale di analisi strutturale. Il workflow delle attività è quindi consistito nel partire da una ampia caratterizzazione meccanica dei materiali selezionati e attraverso i dati sperimentali ottenuti costruire la Material Card per il solutore FEM. L’attività è quindi consistita nel disegnare, a CAD, il componente balestra e tutti i suoi attacchi al telaio automobilistico considerato. La successiva analisi effettuata per la Tesi ha portato quindi a definire i parametri ottimali per la realizzazione della balestra in termini di spessore, stacking sequence, numero di ply e geometria.

Abstract:

Hybrid composites play a key role in sustainable development. For many years, carbon fibres in an epoxy matrix have been an attractive option for many structural applications because of their higher specific mechanical properties mostly. However, recycling and sustainability are some of the composite shortcomings; and in that context, natural fibres have gained popularity. The present study aimed to design and manufacture short carbon/flax hybrid composites. Two different arrangements were chosen: random and layers configuration. Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) was used to fabricate these hybrid composites. Mechanical tests and optical microscopy technique were conducted to understand the effect of the interaction of these two different reinforcements. Mechanical tests showed a remarkable difference between the hybrid configurations under flexural loadings. Furthermore, outstanding property values were observed in the hybrid configurations compared to single fibre composites. The resultant materials have seemed an attractive combination of fibres with a remarkable balance between mechanical performance and eco-friendliness.

Abstract:

The automotive industry is increasingly using resin transfer moulding (RTM) to produce composite body panels at high volumes and low costs. However, one of the recurring issues is the control of the parts surface finish, which is closely linked to the resin volumetric changes during cure. These volumetric changes are caused by the resin cure shrinkage and thermal expansion which depend on material and processing parameters. Low profile additives (LPA) are thermoplastic particles incorporated to unsaturated polyester (UP) resin to compensate for cure shrinkage. The effect of LPA content and degree of cure on the volumetric cure shrinkage and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) were investigated with a modified rheology procedure and thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA). The resin glass transition temperature (Tg) was also evaluated from the TMA results. The resin characterization efforts were validated through the moulding of Class A F3P glass preform composite panels under optimized processing conditions in order to obtain the best surface finish. The average roughness (Ra) and the average waviness (Wa) were measured by profilometry. To observe the effect of the painting process on the surface quality of the panels, the latter were submitted to low-temperature and high-temperature painting cycles according to the industry standards. Their surface finish was then measured again by profilometry and related to the as-moulded results. The results of the cure shrinkage and thermal expansion characterization were finally used to predict the dimensional changes of a panel during typical manufacturing by RTM. The surface quality was improved after the low-temperature painting cycle. There was however a decrease of quality after the high-temperature cycle. The dimensional changes predictions of typical UP/fibreglass panels during RTM were found to be in accordance with surface finish measurements.<br>L'industrie automobile utilise de plus en plus le procédé d'injection sur renfort (RTM) pour produire des carrosseries à grand volume, mais à faible coût. Par contre, un des problèmes communs est le contrôle du fini de surface des pièces, lié de près aux changements volumétriques de la résine durant la polymérization. Ces changements volumétriques sont causés par le rétrécissement de la résine durant la polymérization et l'expansion thermique, tout deux dépendant des paramètres du procédé et des matériaux. Les agents anti-retrait (LPA) sont utilisés pour compenser le rétrécissement des résines polyester insaturé (UP). L'effet des LPA et du degré de polymérization sur le rétrécissement de la résine et le coefficient d'expansion thermique (CTE) a été investigué à travers l'utilisation d'un rhéomètre et d'un analyseur thermo-mecanique (TMA). La température de transition vitreuse a également été déterminée par les résultats du TMA. La validation des résultats de la caractérisation de la résine a été réalisée par la production de panneaux UP/fibre de verre classe A selon les conditions optimales du procédé RTM pour obtenir le meilleur fini de surface. La rugosité moyenne (Ra) et l'ondulation moyenne (Wa) ont été mesurés par profilométrie. L'effet du procédé de peinturage sur le fini de surface a été evalué en soumettant les panneaux à un cycle basse-température et un cycle haute-température selon les standards de l'industrie automobile. Le fini de surface a été mesuré à nouveau par profilométrie et comparé aux résultats précédents. Les résultats de rétrécissement et d'expansion thermique de la résin ont finalement été utilisés pour prédire les changements dimensionels d'un panneau durant sa fabrication par RTM. Le fini de surface a été amélioré suite au cycle de peinturage à basse-température. Il y a cependant eu une diminution de la qualité après le cycle haute-température.

Abstract:

AbstractFor the reuse of components and structures made of fiber composite materials, a complete remanufacturing process chain is necessary to prepare the parts for a further life cycle. The first step is to dismantle the parts to be reused. Fiber composite components are mostly joined using adhesive technology, so that solution techniques are required for adhesive connections. One possibility is the separation of the adhesive layer by means of thermally expanding particles. Adhesive residues are removed by laser so that the components can be glued again after reprocessing. The decisive factor for which process is used for the remanufacturing of the components is the state at the end of the life cycle. Non-destructive testing methods offer a very good option for detecting damage, planning necessary repairs and direct reuse of damage-free components. Repairs to fiber composite structures have been carried out in aviation for a long time and are accordingly established. These processes can be transferred to the repair of automotive fiber composite components. Many technical solutions were developed and tested as part of the project. Future research work is aimed at further development, particularly with regard to the automation of the technologies in order to enable an industrial application of the recycling of automobile components made of fiber composites.

The matrix is AZ91 alloy, and the nano magnesium composite (NMC) is fabricated via a squeeze casting approach. The lightweight NMC is a potential solution for the automobile industry, as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to environmental sustainability. Gr is added to enhance the composite's thermal endurance and mechanical strength. Mechanical and corrosion studies are performed as per the ASTM standards. The inclusion of Gr and 16 wt.% TiC tends to enhance the mechanical durability and corrosion resilience of the NMC when compared with other fabricated composites and cast alloys. The uniform dispersal of NC and TiC and better mould properties lead to better strength. Higher inclusion of TiC (20 wt.%) leads to brittleness, thereby decreasing the overall wear loss by resisting abrasive, which lowers the composite's flexibility and strength. The potential mechanism of adhesive wear is shown by the fact that TiC and Gr decrease the intimate contact region between the composite and the EN31 counter-disc. Compared with as-cast alloy, AZ91+3%Gr+16%TiC produced 64.31% higher porosity, 19.50%, 26.69%, 59.45%, and 19.66% higher UTS, micro-hardness, impact, and flexural strength.</div></div>

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Biodegradable natural fiber-embedded polymer composites offer distinct mechanical properties and are utilized for lightweight applications. However, composites made with untreated natural fibers lack adhesive behaviour, and increased moisture absorption leads to reduced mechanical qualities. To address this, hemp fibers are treated with a 5% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution to enhance adhesive strength. The treated fibers are then used to fabricate polypropylene composites through a hand layup process involving compression force. The synthesized composite samples contain 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% weight (wt%) of hemp fiber and undergo X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, as well as tensile, flexural, and impact strength studies. XRD analysis shows a short peak for the hemp fiber and a large peak for the polypropylene matrix. Experimental results indicate that the polypropylene composite with 30 wt% NaOH-treated hemp fiber exhibits increased tensile strength (53 MPa), improved flexural strength (61 MPa), and enhanced impact strength (6 kJ/m<sup>2</sup>).</div></div>

Abstract:

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">High temperatures are usually used to process composite materials. The temperature difference between the composite material polymer matrix composites (PMCs) and the ambient environment is generally around 200°C to 300°C when they cool down to room temperature. The combination of layers is used to create a perfect laminate. Due to the varying thermal expansion rates of each of the three layers in a laminate, the residual stress in the structure can vary depending on the angle at which it is placed. For instance, the thermal strains are different in transverse and longitudinal directions. The stresses and strain were investigated at different orientations and found that the outcomes are better than the longitudinal and transverse stacking. This work investigates the influence of thermal loads and mechanical loads on the stress-strain relationship of a polycrystalline carbon (PCO) polymer (graphite fiber) laminate. Through a combination of methods, the researchers developed a macromechanical analysis that considers the multiple strains and local stresses of composite materials. Past research could indicate the ideal ply orientation for composites.</div></div>

Abstract:

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Bamboo fibers were used as reinforcement in hardened epoxy mixes altered with ethoxylated soybean oil (ESO) to enhance the mechanical and thermal qualities. Compared to a bio-based epoxy mix, the tensile strength and modulus of the laminate with 20% bamboo fiber were higher. During thermogravity analysis (TGA) evaluation, it was discovered that the rate of deterioration peak had been moved to a warmer temperature, indicating improved thermal durability of the aggregate over the base material. The dynamic mechanical evaluation of the bio-based composite anticipated increased storage modulus and greater glass transition temperatures. High fiber–matrix adherence was visible in scanning electron morphology (SEM). Measurements of the interfacial adhesion demonstrate the hydrophilicity of the bio-based reinforced composites. The binding and effective insemination of fibers is responsible for the fiber-reinforced composite’s durability. Higher rigidity and durability were generated because the lignocellulosic biomass adhered well to the low-viscosity resin. Moreover, research on adherence in composite materials reveals that the interfaces of composite materials with bamboo fibers are becoming more hydrophilic. Sufficient mechanical hardness, stiffness, and durability are realized for automobile and industrial purposes.</div></div>

This study delves into the impact of ceramic additives on the chemical resistance and moisture durability of flax fiber-reinforced polymers. Utilizing the hand lay-up technique, we developed polyester composites reinforced with flax fibers. Silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminum oxide (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) were chosen as filler components. One batch of flax fibers underwent an alkaline treatment to enhance their properties further using a 5% NaOH solution. The resistance of composite samples to acetic acid and sodium hydroxide was then assessed. Additionally, the moisture absorption patterns of all models were investigated. A thorough comparative analysis was conducted among multiple composite batches. The results highlighted that integrating additives significantly bolstered the chemical and moisture resistance of the composites. Notably, the alkali-treated samples exhibited superior moisture and chemical agent resistance compared to their untreated counterparts.</div></div>

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Despite their many similarities, natural fibers have superior mechanical properties to synthetic fibers, including higher ultimate strength, greater elongation, resistance to ethering, biodegradability, lightweight, and fewer toxications. The mechanical characteristics of several matrices reinforced with synthetic and hemp fibers were examined in the current paper. We made the various hemp composites using vinyl ester, cellulose acetate (CA), treated CA, and GFRP (glass fiber-reinforced polymer) with CA. Composites were examined for mechanical characteristics such as tensile, flexural, impact, and hardness. Composites have a density of 1.19 g/cm<sup>3</sup>. Hemp with vinyl ester has higher tensile strength and flexural properties than other composites, but in impact, GFRP with CA has more impact strength of nearly 400 J/m, so for making eco-friendly biocomposite for lightweight structural applications.</div></div>

This study used nano silica from rice husk ash with an average particle size of 26 nm. The hiPP composites were mixed with 3 wt. % nano clay and different weight percentages (1%, 2%, and 3%) of nano silica were also added. The blending process used twin-screw extrusion, and composite samples were subsequently produced by injection moulding.

This constitution of AZ91D alloy hybrid nanocomposite is made through the liquid state processing route, which helps to improve the spread of particles in the AZ91D matrix. The impact of BN and SiC on microstructural and mechanical properties like tensile strength, hardness, and impact strength of AZ91D alloy composites are studied, and its investigational results are compared. Besides, microstructural studies have revealed that the structure of composite is found to have better BN and SiC particle dispersion and uniformity.

Abstract:

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">In the highly demanding domain of advanced technologies, Wire Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) has distinguished itself as one of the most promising methods for the efficient machining of sophisticated composite materials. As a critical advanced machining process, EDM caters to the stringent requirements for intricate geometries and effective material removal. This study focuses on Al6063 Alloy Composites reinforced with Silicon Carbide and Fly Ash, materials celebrated for their high strength, exceptional oxidation-corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance. These composites are widely applied across aerospace, marine, automotive industries, nuclear power, and oilfield sectors. The current research involves a rigorous experimental analysis and parametric optimization of the aluminum matrix composite utilizing EDM. The primary objective is to fine-tune the process parameters, including pulse-off time, current, and taper angle. The experiments were designed and conducted using Taguchi’s Orthogonal Array to ascertain the optimal parametric settings for critical responses such as Surface Roughness (SR) and Material Removal Rate (MRR). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results reveal that pulse-off time exerts the most significant influence on MRR, followed by current and taper angle. While pulse-off time also has the greatest effect on SR, followed by taper angle and current. The developed regression models and optimized parameter values for workpieces with various taper angles of Al6063 composite can be effectively applied in the industry to boost productivity and achieve superior performance outcomes.</div></div>
