    Analysis of Continuous Fiber Composites - I: Reinforced Plastics (Composite)

    Uploaded by

    أحمد صدقي
    This document discusses analysis of continuous fiber composites. It presents the rule of mixtures, which is an important relationship used to determine the modulus, density, strength, and other properties of composites in the fiber direction. The rule of mixtures states that the property of the composite is equal to the property of the fibers times the fiber volume fraction plus the property of the matrix times the matrix volume fraction. An example shows how to calculate the weight fraction of fibers in a composite given the densities of the fibers, matrix, and overall composite. A second example demonstrates using the rule of mixtures to determine the modulus, strength, and applied force distribution in a carbon fiber reinforced PEEK composite.

    Analysis of Continuous Fiber Composites -I

    (i) Longitudinal Properties


     The greatest improvement in the strength and stiffness of a plastic is
    achieved when it is reinforced with uni-directional continuous fibers.
    Consider a composite with continuous aligned fibers:

    If the modulus of the matrix is Em and moduli of fibers is Ef then the


    modulus of the composite E1 determined as follows:
    Equilibrium Equation
    The applied force on the composite will be shared by the fibers and matrix

    Deformation Equation
    The strain εis the same in the fibers and matrix and the composite

    Stress-Strain Relationships

    Also

    So

    Then

    If the fibers have a uniform cross-section, then the area fraction will equal
    the volume fraction, so

     This is important relationship known as the Rule of Mixtures.


     It may also be used todetermine the density of a composite,
    thePoisson’s Ratio, strength, thermal, conductivity and electrical
    conductivity inthe fiber direction.
    Example No (1)
    The density of a composite made from unidirectional glass fibers in an
    epoxy matrix is 1950 kg/m3. If the densities of the glass and epoxy are
    known to be 2540 kg/m3 and 1300kg/m3, calculate the weight fraction of
    fibers in the composite.
    Solution
    From the rule of mixtures

    Then

    Example No (2)
    PEEK reinforced with 30% by volume of unidirectional carbon fibers and
    the properties of the individual materials are given below.
    Material Density(Kg/m3) Tensile Strength(GN/m2) Modulus(GN/m2)
    PEEK 1300 0.058 3.8
    Carbon Fiber(HM) 1800 2.1 400
    Calculate:
    1. The density, modulus and strength of the composite in the fiber direction.
    2. The fraction of the applied force.
    3. The ratio of stresses.
    Solution
    1) From the rule of mixtures:

    2)From

    Similarly the force in the composite is given by

    Hence

    3) From the rule of mixtures, the stresses are related as follows:

    As the strains are the same in the matrix and fibers

    Thus,
