Abstract:
Abstract Interfacial degradation is the main reason for deterioration of mechanical properties of composites in hydrothermal environments. In this study, the effect of the interphase on water diffusion in two types of unidirectional continuous carbon fiber-reinforced polyamide 6 (CF/PA6) composites is investigated through experimental measurements, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulation. The moisture diffusion coefficient of composite at different environmental temperatures is characterized by water immersion tests for analyzing the barrier and accelerating effects of the interphase layer. Based on the experimental results, the three-phase Halpin–Tsai model is derived and validated, and then the critical diffusivity is obtained to quantify the interfacial effect during the diffusion process. To further validate the present three-phase Halpin–Tsai model, the stable and transient finite element models of moisture diffusion are developed. It is found that the critical diffusivity coefficient of the interphase for the CF/PA6 composite system is 7.31 times higher than that of the matrix.

Abstract:
An analysis has been done on the existing models for the prediction of the elastic modulus of fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPC). The experimental data reported in different specialized research journals have been fitted to the models. It is found the theoretical models such as the Parallel, Series and Halpin-Tsai model, by no means, predict the modulus within an acceptable deviation factor of 0.1. The semi-empirical models such as modified Halpin-Tsai and Bowyer-Bader model, which have one adjustable parameter, and are expressed in terms of volume fraction describe the modulus satisfactorily. In this paper, a mass fraction based model with one adjustable parameter is proposed, which also describe the modulus successfully. The proposed model, being mass fraction-based, is more convenient to work with than any volume-fraction based model, and unlike all other models (theoretical and semi-empirical), it has the potentials to have practical applications in structural material design.Keywords: Fibers; Polymer-matrix composites (PMCs); Short-fiber composites; Mechanical properties; Prediction model.© 2011 JSR Publications.

Abstract:
In the present study, a buckling analysis of laminated composite rectangular plates reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) inclusions is carried out using the finite element method (FEM). The rule of mixtures and the Halpin–Tsai model are employed to calculate the elastic modulus of the nanocomposite matrix. The effects of three critical factors, including random dispersion, waviness, and agglomeration of MWCNTs in the polymer matrix, on the material properties of the nanocomposite are analyzed. Then, the critical buckling loads of the composite plates are numerically determined for different design parameters, such as plate side-to-thickness ratio, elastic modulus ratio, boundary conditions, layup schemes, and fiber orientation angles. The influence of carbon nanotube fillers on the critical buckling load of a nanocomposite rectangular plate, considering the modified Halpin–Tsai micromechanical model, is demonstrated. The results are in good agreement with experimental and other theoretical data available in the open literature.

Abstract:
In this paper, the stiffness mechanical property of natural fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites is analyzed using composite micromechanical model. Kenaf natural fiber is selected as the reinforcement material in the composites construction while three types of commonly used automotive grade thermoplastic matrices, namely polypropylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and polyamide 6 were selected to be reinforced with kenaf fibers. Their stiffness property was later analyzed using Halpin-Tsai micromechanical model at varying fiber content and fiber aspect ratio conditions. In all cases, theoretical results show that the kenaf reinforced thermoplastic composites stiffness increased linearly as the fiber contents were increased. Apart from that, results also show that the stiffness property also increases as the fiber aspect ratio was increased. Higher final composites stiffness property was also observed as stiffness matrix material is utilized in the composites formulation. The prediction results also provided valuable and quick insight as well as cost effective alternative to composite designers in assessing the stiffness performance of natural fiber composites especially those which are reinforced with thermoplastic matrices compared to conventional experimental technique for automotive product development purposes in addition to identifying the optimal parameter to be put into focus in their composites design to achieve the intended design performance specifications.

Abstract:
Carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced 6063 aluminum (Al) matrix composites were fabricated by vacuum-assisted infiltration of molten 6063 Al alloy into a CNT preform to enhance compressive mechanical properties. Preforms were produced with different amounts of chemically functionalized CNTs to obtain three different CNT reinforcement ratios (0.25, 0.50, and 0.75 wt.%). In addition to the investigation of properties throughout all stages of the preparation of the CNTs, CNT preforms and fabricated composites by various methods of analysis, all steps of the composite fabrication process, as well as the compressive mechanical test results of CNT/6063 Al composites are all discussed. Approximately 250% and 280% increases in the yield and ultimate compressive strength, respectively, are achieved with low-purity CNT addition. Consequently, it is confirmed from the micrographs that the mechanical enhancements of the composites are mainly interrelated with the successful bridging of CNTs in the matrix material. Meanwhile, it is observed that both the modified Halpin-Tsai model and the modified Halpin-Tsai model developed with a dispersion-based prediction model results match with experimental results. Overall results can be accepted as developmental stages of significant progress in the CNT preform reinforced metal matrix composites field.

Abstract:
The modified forms of Halpin Tsai model for the prediction of tensile modulus of polyolefin-layered silicate nanocomposites are discussed. The assumptions used in the conventional model like perfect alignment of the particulate filler, uniform shape and size of the filler particles as well as interfacial adhesion between the polymer and filler surface do not hold true in the case of polymer nanocomposites especially using polyolefinic matrices. The modulus reduction factors suggested for polar nanocomposites are also dependent on the polymer nature as well as filler morphology in the composite, thus, are not applicable directly to the polyolefin composites. A master curve could be generated for polyolefin nanocomposites which provided more accurate modulus reduction factor value based on the average aspect ratio of the filler. Incorporation of the effects of incomplete exfoliation as well as filler misalignment though improved the prediction capabilities of the model, however, it still did not match the predictions generated from finite element analysis or TEM analysis. The effect of absence of adhesion forces at the interface was incorporated by suggesting simple modification to the modified Halpin Tsai model equation. Master curves could be generated which predicted the relative tensile modulus of the composites accurately if the value of average aspect ratio was known.

Abstract:
Abstract Applicability and subsequent modification of various composite models for the prediction of the relative tensile modulus of polyolefin nanocomposites has been studied. A number of models, such as the modified Halpin-Tsai, Guth, Mori-Tanaka, Hui and Shia and Takayanagi models, as well as factorial and mixture designs, were considered. Various assumptions in the models, such as uniform shape and size of filler (i.e., complete exfoliation), alignment, as well as interfacial bonding between the components, restrict their application for the prediction of the nanocomposite modulus. The modified Guth model and Halpin-Tsai model, with the ∅m concept, were developed further to incorporate the modulus reduction factors for polyolefin nanocomposites. This allowed the generation of master curves of the modulus reduction factor as a function of the aspect ratio of the filler in the composite. It was observed that the Mori Tanaka model, modified by constructing models of various representative volume elements (RVEs) of the underlying structure of the nanoclay filled polymers, matched the experimental values of the tensile modulus of polyolefin nanocomposites. The modified Hui and Shia model, incorporating the non-bonding interfacial effects, as well as the three component modified Takayanagi model, were also able to predict the tensile modulus of polyolefin nanocomposites efficiently. Factorial and mixture designs did not require the conventionally used assumptions and satisfactorily reflected the material behavior, and were specific to the particular components used to generate nanocomposites. These models were also helpful in predicting the aspect ratio of the filler in the composites, when synergistically combined with other modified models.

The comparison of calculated data from proposed mathematic model and experimentally obtained data of PP/clay nanocomposites was done with the focus on the layered shape of MMT platelets. Based on the well-known Kerner's model and the Halpin-Tsai' equation with the use of some described presumption, the mathematic model for PP/clay nanocomposite was proposed. Data from the measurement of prepared PP/clay samples were taken and compared with the calculated ones from the proposed model. The good agreement was found.

The aim of this study is to create an artificial neural network (ANN) capable of modeling the transverse elasticity modulus (E2) of unidirectional composites. To that end, we used a dataset divided into two parts, one for training and the other for ANN testing. Three types of architectures from different networks were developed, one with only two inputs, one with three inputs and the third with mixed architecture combining an ANN with a model developed by Halpin-Tsai. After algorithm training, the results demonstrate that the use of ANNs is quite promising, given that when they were compared with those of the Halp?n-Tsai mathematical model, higher correlation coefficient values and lower root mean square values were observed

Abstract:
Diplomová práca sa zaoberá prípravou teromplastických kompzoitov s PMMA a PC matricou s potenciálnym využitím v automobilovom priemysle. Ako výstuž boli použité krátke sklenené, uhlíkové a PBO (poly(p-fenylén benzobisoxazol)) vlákna známe pod obchodným názvom Zylon®. Práve do PBO vlákien boli vkladané veľké nádeje vzhľadom na ich ohromujúce mechanické vlastnosti. Vplyv objemového zlomku vlákien na modulu pružnosti, pevnosť a ťažnosť kompozitov bol skúmaný. Experimentálne zistený modul pružností bol porovnaný so semi-empirickým Halpin-Tsai modelom. Prídavok sklenených a uhlíkových vlákien viedol k značnému zvýšeniu modulu pružnosti. Ukázalo sa, že po istej hodnote objemového zlomku dochádza k poklesu pevností kompozitov v dôsledku zvyšujúceho sa počtu defektov. Prídavok PBO vlákien preukázal len nepatrný vystužujúci efekt. Viskoelastické vlastností kompozitov boli skúmané pomocou dynamicko mechanickej analýzy (DMA). Termogravimetrická analýza (TGA), konfokálna laserová rastrovacia mikroskopia (CLSM) a rastrovacia elektrónová mikroskopia (SEM) boli využité k štúdiu štruktúry kompozitov.

Abstract:
In this study, a numerical representative volume element (RVE) model was used to predict the mechanical properties of a Rice Husk Particulate (RHP)-Epoxy composite for use as an alternative material in non-critical applications. Seven different analytical models Counto, Ishai-Cohen, Halpin-Tsai, Nielsen, Nicolais, Modified Nicolais and Pukanszky were used as comparison tools for the numerical model. The mechanical properties estimated for 0%, 10% and 30% RHP-Epoxy composites using the numerical and analytical models are in general agreement with each other. Using the analytical models, it was calculated that an increase in volume percentage of RHP to 30% led to continual reduction in elastic Young’s modulus and ultimate tensile strength of the composite. The numerical RVE models also predicted a similar trend between filler volume percentage and material properties. Overall, the results of this study suggest that RHP can be used to reduce the composite raw material costs by replacing the more expensive polymer content with agricultural waste products with limited compromise to the composite’s mechanical properties.

Abstract:
This paper describes the analysis of the mechanical behavior of the plastic pipe reinforced by cross helically winding steel wires (PSP) under pure internal pressure. PSP is a new kind of composite pipe developed rapidly in China recently and it consists of an inner high-density polyethylene (HDPE) layer, several steel wire layers over wrapping the liner and an outer polyethylene coating. To investigate the mechanical properties of steel wire layers, the elastic parameters of the composite monolayer plate are considered as transverse isotropic and derived based on Halpin-Tsai Equations. The stress and strain functions of each layers are obtained using anisotropic elastic mechanical theory and the unknown constants are determined by equilibrium equations and interface conditions. Using ABAQUS, a finite element model (FEM) is established to study the mechanical behavior and failure mode. Results derived from the theoretical method and FEM are presented and compared. Simplified engineering formula of burst pressure is also obtained. The effect of winding angle on PSP is also discussed by parametric analysis. Values of burst capacity predicted from the theoretical method, FEM and simplified engineering formula are in great agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract:
In the present article, we focus on the forced vibration and control analysis of functionally graded (FG) graphene-polymer composites bonded with piezoelectric layers considering strong electric fields. Different non-uniform gradient distributions of graphene platelets (GPLs) are assumed through the thickness direction. The Modified Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model is used to obtain the effective material properties of GPL/polymer composites. Electromechanical coupling of piezoelectric layers is described by two rotationally invariant non-linear constitutive relations. A four-node shell element considering transverse shear effect based on the Reissner-Mindlins hypothesis has been developed for forced vibration and control analysis of smart FG-GPL/composites using the principle of virtual work considering nonlinear material law for the piezoelectric layers. The developed element is verified and compared with the numerical results those available in the literature. Different configurations of FG-GPL composite shells have been analysed and discussed to compare in terms of settling time, first resonance frequency and absolute amplitude corresponding to first resonant frequency by carrying out time and frequency response analysis, and the effects of weight fraction of GPLs on vibration response of such shell structures are also discussed. The influence of electromechanical nonlinear constitutive relations is also presented and discussed by performing active control analysis on different FG-GPL composite shell structures. Moreover, the results show that the GPL distribution and weight-fraction of GPLs have a significant effect on the vibration and damping characteristics of the FG-GPL composite shell structures.

Abstract:
In this study, the mechanical properties of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced epoxy composites were characterized using an in-house designed micro/nano tensile load stage in conjunction with an atomic force microscope (AFM). The surface of the nanocomposite was scanned by the AFM during intermittent tensile testing. Micro/nano deformation was observed, and the reinforcing mechanisms were discussed in conjunction with architecture and elastic modulus. Results show that the MWCNT reinforced nanocomposite has an increased elastic modulus. The Halpin-Tsai and Hui-Shia models were compared to the experimental results, and the Halpin-Tsai was found to correlate when only the load bearing outer layer of the MWCNTs were considered. Additionally, it is concluded that the combination of the load stage and AFM is capable of capturing insitu deformation progress for small strain increments.

Abstract:
Eco-friendly “green” composites made from flax fibers and biodegradable corn starch-based matrix were successfully prepared by hot pressing. Thermoplastic starch (TPS) was obtained by blending native corn starch with glycerin and water. The plasticized starch was emulsified before being added to the previously NaOH-treated flax fibers. The flax content was varied from 20 to 80 wt%. The composites were preheated and then pressed at 5 MPa and 160°C for 30 minutes. Density measurements showed low porosity for all composites up to 50 wt% fibers. SEM investigation showed strong adhesion at fiber-matrix interface and good fibers wettability. Static tensile and flexural mechanical properties (stiffness and strength) of the composites appeared to increase with the fiber weight fraction increase up to 50 wt%. Increasing fiber content also improved composite stability in thermal degradation, water uptake and biodegradation. Some micromechanical models are used to study the tensile strength and modulus of the obtained composites such as the Kelly-Tyson and Halpin–Tsai equations. The present work shows that 50 wt% composite has competitive properties, qualifying this material to be affordable and appropriate for different applications.

Abstract:
Abstract Composites can be tailored to specific applications by adjusting process variables. These variables include those related to composition, such as volume fraction of the constituents and those associated with processing methods, methods that can affect composite topology. In the case of particle matrix composites, orientation of the inclusions affects the resulting composite properties, particularly so in instances where the particles can be oriented and arranged into structures. In this work, we study the effects of coupled electric and magnetic field processing with externally applied fields on those structures, and consequently on the resulting material properties that arise. The ability to vary these processing conditions with the goal of generating microstructures that yield target material properties adds an additional level of control to the design of composite material properties. Moreover, while analytical models allow for the prediction of resulting composite properties from constituents and composite topology, these models do not build upward from process variables to make these predictions. This work couples simulation of the formation of microscale architectures, which result from coupled electric and magnetic field processing of particulate filled polymer matrix composites, with finite element analysis of those structures to provide a direct and explicit linkages between process, structure, and properties. This work demonstrates the utility of these method as a tool for determining composite properties from constituent and processing parameters. Initial particle dynamics simulation incorporating electromagnetic responses between particles and between the particles and the applied fields, including dielectrophoresis, are used to stochastically generate representative volume elements for a given set of process variables. Next, these RVEs are analyzed as periodic structures using FEA yielding bulk material properties. The results are shown to converge for simulation size and discretization, validating the RVE as an appropriate representation of the composite volume. Calculated material properties are compared to traditional effective medium theory models. Simulations allow for mapping of composite properties with respect to not only composition, but also fundamentally from processing simulations that yield varying particle configurations, a step not present in traditional or more modern effective medium theories such as the Halpin Tsai or double-inclusion theories.
