Download or read book Flow Induced Alignment in Composite Materials written by T.D. Papathanasiou and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-10-21 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of aligning short fibres in a fibre-reinforced material is to improve the mechanical properties of the resulting composite. Aligning the fibres, generally in a preferred direction, allows them to contribute as much as possible to reinforcing the material.Flow induced alignment in composite materials details, in a single volume, the science, processing, applications, characterisation and properties of composite materials reinforced with short fibres that have been orientated in a preferred direction by flows arising during processing. The topics discussed include fibre alignment and materials rheology; processes that can produce fibre alignment in polymeric, liquid crystal polymeric, and metallic composites; materials characterization and mechanical properties; and modelling of processes and materials properties.The technology of fibre-reinforced composites is continually evolving and this book provides timely and much needed information about this important class of engineering materials. The bookis an essential reference work for industry and an indispensable guide for the research worker, advanced student and materials scientist.

This book was released on 1997-10-21 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of aligning short fibers in a fiber-reinforced material is to improve the mechanical properties of the resulting composite. Aligning the fibers, generally in a preferred direction, allows them to contribute as much as possible to reinforcing the material. In some cases, the mechanical properties of these aligned, short-fiber composites can approach those of continuous-fiber composites, with the advantages of lower production costs and greater ease of production. Since its publication, this book has been consistently recognized as one of the most important contributions to this field.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short-fiber reinforced polymer composites enjoy widespread industrial applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratios and versatile manufacturing processes. The mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of short- fiber reinforced composite systems are tremendously dependent on fiber orientations within the polymer matrix during the manufacturing process. However, the commonly used melt flow simulation tools employ simplified empirically-derived models that have recently been shown to over-predict the rate of fiber alignment. Therefore, a physical understanding of fiber suspensions during the injection molding process is critical. The main objective of this research project is to develop a systematic methodology to predict fiber orientations during the manufacture of polymer composites through the numerical simulation. The focus is to address such issues as the effect of fiber shape, fiber- fiber interactions, Brownian motions of nano- fibers and fiber suspensions in various solvents, such as inhomogeneous flows. We develop a stand-alone Finite Element Method (FEM) for calculating hydrodynamic forces and torques exerted on fibers. For nano- fibers, the Brownian forces and torques are modeled using a Gaussian distribution function. Our approach seeks fibers' velocities that zero the net torques and forces acting on the fibers by the surrounding bulk fluid. Fiber motions are then computed using a 4th-order Runge-Kutta method to update fiber positions and orientations as functions of time. The successful completion of this project provides a systematic computational approach capable of addressing issues that are currently unresolved in the critical area of manufacturing. Extension of the approach to other areas such as drug delivery and blood cell motion is an additional benefit of this research work.
