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 develop

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

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 hybri

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 deg

An experimental technique for conducting low speed impact of adhesively bonded automotive composite joints is presented. Based on the use of a modified drop tower, mode I, II, and mixed mode values for critical energy release rate were determined for a composite/epoxy system and used to create a fracture failure envelope. Because load measurements become erratic and unreliable at higher test rates, displacement-based relationships were used to quantify these energy release rates.

Abstract:

The use of natural fibers as reinforcement in thermoplastics presents an interesting alternative for the production of low cost and ecologically friendly composites. One of the advantages of using natural fibres is their low specific weight, resulting in higher specific strength and stiffness when compared to glass reinforced composites. Natural fibres also present safer handling and working conditions. They are non-abrasive to mixing and can contribute to significant cost reduction. This work is divided into two phases: Phase 1 deals with developing nonwoven mats composites from flax/polyprop

Abstract:

Este trabalho tem como finalidade o desenvolvimento de compósitos a base de resina de poliéster insaturado reforçados com fibras naturais visando aplicações na indústria automotiva. Foram obtidas amostras em escala semi-industrial de compósitos reforçados com fibra de curauá, sisal e vidro, com teores variando de 15 a 40% em massa, com e sem a adição de carga mineral na matriz polimérica, através do processo de prensagem a frio. Os efeitos de cada um dos fatores foram analisados sobre a resistência à tração, módulo de elasticidade, alongamento na ruptura, resistência à flexão e ao impacto. Alé
