This book was released on 2021-07-03 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the basics of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP). The author presents the material-specific advantages of FRP and the typical areas of their application. The problems created by conventional, non-integrating product development are listed and the author states how these problems are potentially overcome by integrated product development (IPD). In addition, it is explained why IPD is of particular importance for FRP. An approach to IPD for FRP-parts is presented. It is explained step by step how a catalogue of requirements is defined as well as how this basis is used to develop a concept, a design, and a final construction. Simple but effective methods for the selection of fiber materials, semi-finished products and manufacturing processes are highlighted in this book. A concluding chapter describes an approach to techno-economic evaluation. Throughout the book, practical application examples show the reader how to put the gained knowledge into practice.

Download or read book Continuous Discontinuous Fiber Reinforced Polymers written by Thomas Böhlke and published by Carl Hanser Verlag GmbH Co KG. This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discontinuous long fiber reinforced polymer structures with local continuous fiber reinforcements represent an important class of lightweight materials with broad design possibilities and diverse technical applications, e.g. in vehicle construction. However, in contrast to continuous fiber reinforced composites, extensively used in the aircraft industry, there is still a lack of integrated and experimentally proven concepts for manufacture, modeling, and dimensioning of combinations of discontinuously and continuously reinforced polymer structures. This is partly ascribed to the complexity of the manufacturing processes of discontinuously reinforced polymers, with heterogeneous, anisotropic, and nonlinear material and structural properties, but also to the resulting bonding problem of both material types. This book addresses these issues, including both continuous and discontinuous fiber processing strategies. Specific design strategies for advanced composite reinforcement strategies are provided, with an integrated and holistic approach taken for composites material selection, product design, and mechanical properties. Characterization, simulation, technology, design, future research, and implementation directions are also included. Especially in the field of application of three-dimensional load-bearing structures, this book provides an excellent foundation for the enhancement of scientific methods and the education of engineers who need an interdisciplinary understanding of process and material techniques, as well as simulation and product development methods.

Download or read book Joining of Metal and Fiber Reinforced Polymers Using Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing written by Hongqi Guo (Product design engineer) and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various methods have been reported to join carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites with aluminum alloy (AA), with strengths ranging from 13 MPa to 112 MPa. This research project presents a new method for joining carbon fiber reinforced composites and metals using ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM), a solid-state manufacturing technology. Dry fibers are embedded in a metal matrix to create mechanical interlocking between the fiber and metal. After the UAM process, the dry fiber-metal joint can be interleaved with additional fiber fabrics to create FRP components with metal tabs that enable the FRP to be joined with metal structures using conventional metal-metal joining techniques. A manufacturing approach for producing continuous CFRP and aluminum alloy (AA) joints is developed. Mechanical testing demonstrates that the joints achieve a 129.5 MPa tensile strength. The failure mode can be designed to be fiber failure or metal failure based on the fiber-to-metal bearing area ratio. Failure in metal leads to high peak load, and failure in fiber is associated with high energy absorption due to fiber pull-out after initial fracture. The utilization of resistance spot welding (RSW) to join the UAM CFRP-AA joints to bulk AA is investigated by mechanical testing and hardness mapping. In addition to the coupon-level mechanical tests, structure-level tests are performed to evaluate the benefits of UAM CFRP-AA joints. CFRP-AA hybrid beam structures are manufactured using RSW through CFRP-AA joints with the settings developed previously. Benchmarked against pop rivets, experimental results show that the beam structures with UAM joints introduce benefits in energy absorption and force efficiency in four-point bend, axial crush, and torsion. An analytical model is developed based on the thick-wall cylindrical pressure vessel theory. The model is able to predict the tensile peak load and failure mode of the joints based on the material properties and joint design. An FEA model is created based on parameters calculated from the analytical model. The FEA model accurately predicts the tensile behavior of the CFRP-AA joints. A countermeasure to galvanic corrosion is developed by applying a Kevlar fiber reinforced polymer (KFRP) buffer to insulate the CFRP-AA couple. A 12-year equivalent corrosion cyclic test (CCT) is performed. The result demonstrates that the CFRP-KFRP-AA joint can maintain 95\% tensile strength and achieve zero mass loss. The technique of UAM FRP-metal joining has been applied to 1010 steel. A UAM manufacturing process is developed to create 1010 bonding with high shear strength at room temperature. Tensile tests are performed on KFRP-1010 steel joints and KFRP tow failure mode is achieved with high strength. RSW and corrosion studies are also carried out on the steel-based joints.
