The use of hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRP) opens up wide possibilities for creating structures that are most suitable for different operating conditions. The modelling of a multilayer FRP structure is the most important stage in the creation and manufacture of FRP products since the FRP structure determines the entire complex of elastic, strength and other properties. This paper proposes a method for the theoretical prediction of anisotropic elastic characteristics of material equivalent to a given FRP. A technique for calculating the stiffness coefficients of a homogeneous anisotropic material equivalent to a hybrid composite material having a magnesium matrix reinforced with boron and carbon fibers has been developed and tested in ANSYS. This paper has found that the results of the finite element analysis essentially depend on the dimension of the mesh, and it is necessary to use a mesh with a number of nodes exceeding N = 1·105 to obtain sufficiently accurate calculated values of the elasticity coefficients. 1 Introduction element method (FEM) is implemented by using the ANSYS.

    BORON FIBER NEUTRON SHIELDING PROPERTIES Joseph W. Hanafin, William Grant, Specialty Materials, Inc. Lowell, MA1 Leo Bobek, Thomas Regan, UMass Lowell, Radiation Laboratory, Lowell, MA2 January 10, 2011 Introduction Boron fiber is a large diameter monofilament (102 micrometers, 4.0 mils) made via chemical vapor deposition by Specialty Materials, Inc (SMI), Lowell, MA. Since its development in the early 1960s, it has been used in a wide range of applications from aerospace to sporting goods because of its excellent mechanical properties, most notably its extremely high compression strength. However, another important characteristic of elemental boron and boron fiber is its ability to capture neutrons, which makes it effective for radiation shielding in the nuclear power industry and neutron capture therapy in the medical industry. SMI collaborated with the U Mass Lowell (UML) Radiation Laboratory to conduct a comparative study of the neutron shielding effectiveness of a number of boron composite configurations. To better understand why boron fiber can be an effective tool for neutron shielding, it is worthwhile to step back and look at the fundamental properties of elemental boron. Boron exists in nature primarily as borate oxides and salts such as borax. The most common uses of boron are as a silicon dopant in the semiconductor industry, in sodium perborate bleaches, and as an oxide in glasses and ceramics to improve their resistance to thermal shock. Boron can also be formed into materials such as cubic boron nitride, an extremely hard abrasive that can scratch diamonds, and boron carbide (B4C), also used as an industrial abrasive (Mohs Hardness of 9.5) and in ballistic ceramics.

  • A Material Difference a MATERIAL DIFFERENCE
    2017 BRAND BOOK A Material Difference A MATERIAL DIFFERENCE Mitsubishi Rayon makes some of best golf shafts because we make them from scratch. We not only manufacture the golf shaft, but all of the critical raw materials that make up the golf shaft including the monomer, acrylic fiber, carbon fiber, resin, and prepreg. Over the last 30 years, we have developed more than a thousand different formulations of resin and made over a hundred types of fiber for many performance-based applications, including golf shafts. This vertical integration means we can make virtually any combination of resins and fibers required to optimize a golf shaft’s design and performance. The majority of our competitors, on the other hand, work with a relatively limited list of raw materials from a finite number of available suppliers. Typically they purchase stock prepreg, which can require designs to be adjusted to the limitations of the available materials. Our ability to make any composition of resin or fiber and combine them into our own prepreg sets us apart from our competition. VERTICAL INTEGRATION MONOMERS Basic raw materials consisting of simple molecular structures (monomers) are combined to produce Acrylonitrile (AN). AN is then polymerized to form polyacrylonitrile (PAN). Mitsubishi Rayon uses the highest-grade materials available to create AN and PAN. PRECURSOR A solution of PAN is then spun into precursor. The process of creating precursor heavily influences the quality and consistency of the carbon fiber. It is a process in which Mitsubishi Rayon has refined and perfected over the past 80-years. CARBON FIBER Precursor is oxidized and carbonized in ovens to produce carbon fiber.

Abstract: An attempt has been made in the present work to explore and the possible use of variety of cultivated/wild grown fiber in the development of jute, hemp and banana fiber reinforced polyester hybrid composites. The fiber is extracted from manual method and retting, and the test specimens are prepared as per ―ASTM‖ standards. Four different contents are incorporated in the specimen, with each fiber content two identical specimens are prepared. Jute, hemp and banana fiber reinforced polyester hybrid composites are prepared by incorporating up to (0.5grms, 1grms, 1.5grms, 2grms) by mass. It is observed clearly (2grms) only mass of fiber compare with (1.5grms) of hybrid composites. Increase in the weight percentage of fibers changes the tensile strength, bending strength, impact strength. Keywords: ASTM, Fiber, Anatomical Structure, Leaves, Roots, Fruits, Seeds. I.

Then we have seen the constituents of a typical composite material. Further, based on the reinforcement, the classification of the composite was presented. In the present lecture we will introduce natural fibres and some advanced fibres. We will see, in brief, the key features of these advanced fibres. What are the functions of a reinforcing agent? The functions of a reinforcing agent are: 1. These are the main load carrying constituents. 2. The reinforcing materials, in general, have significantly higher desired properties. Hence, they contribute the desired properties to the composite. 3. It transfers the strength and stiffness to the matrix material. What are the functions of a matrix material? The matrix performs various functions. These functions are listed below: 1. The matrix material holds the fibres together. 2. The matrix plays an important role to keep the fibres at desired positions. The desired distribution of the fibres is very important from micromechanical point of view. 3. The matrix keeps the fibres separate from each other so that the mechanical abrasion between them does not occur. 4. It transfers the load uniformly between fibers. Further, in case a fibre is broken or fibre is discontinuous, then it helps to redistribute the load in the vicinity of the break site.
