5. Types of material depending on the property of material
Homogenous • Uniform properties throughout body
Non-
Homogenous
• Non Uniform properties throughout
body
Isotropic
• Same Property in all direction.
Especially strength and elastic Property
Anisotropic • Properties are different in all direction
Orthotropic
• Properties are different in 3 mutually
perpendicular direction
6. COMPOSITES MATERIAL
Latin word : Componere –To bring together
Two or more distinct constituents combined together with different physical
and chemical properties
Homogenous at Macroscopic Level
Heterogeneous at Microscopic level
Matrix Reinforcement
Significant difference of each constituents
o Shape
o Chemical composition
o Insoluble to each other
o Chemical Inertness
7. Role of Matrix Role of
Reinforcement
• To bind reinforcement
together
• To transfer Stress equally
to fiber
• Protection to reinforcement
from environmental effect
• High Strength
• Stiffness
• Improved Mechanical
Property
Role Of Sugar Syrup and Boondi in Laddoo
8. History of composites
• Natural Composites
• Man Made Composite
Wood
Lignin Cellulose
Bone
Collagen HAP Mineral Crystal
Brick
Mud Straw
Concrete
Cement Gravel
9.
10. Advantages
Reduced Weight & High Strength
High Stiffness
Wear & Corrosion Resistance
Fatigue Life
Thermal conductivity
Disadvantages
Fabrics are hard on tooling
Hidden defect are difficult to locate
Inspection requires special tools and process
High cost of raw material
Human health and safety constraints
Analysis of composite is difficult due to heterogeneity and orthotrophy
Training of labour is essential
Environmental issues like disposal and waste management
15. Thermoplastic
Soften upon heat and Pressure
Repairable
Reprocessed
High Strain require to Failure
Short Curing Cycle
Non Tacky
Excellent Resistant to solvent
High Processing Temperature
Thermosetting
Decomposes on heating
Non Repairable
Cannot be Reprocessed
Low Strain require to Failure
Long Curing Cycle
Tacky
Fair Resistant to solvent
Lower Processing Temperature
16. Advantages of Thermoplastic
• Higher Toughness
• High Volume
• Low Cost Processing
• Temperature range upto 225o C
Advantages of Thermosetting
• Light Weight
• Better Moisture resistance
• Resistant to Environment Exposure
17. Advantages
• Higher Strength and
Toughness
• Moisture Resistant
• High Thermal
Conductivity
Disadvantages
• Corrosive
• Heavier
• Degradation at Fiber/Matrix
Interfaces
18. Advantages
• Can withstand Higher
Temperature Range
upto 2000oC
• High Elastic Modulus
• Low Density
Disadvantages
• Brittle in Nature
22. Fiber reinforcement
Individual filament of material
Length to diameter ration is above 1000
Fibers
Natural Fiber
Animal Fiber Plant or Vegetable Fiber Mineral Fiber
Advanced Fiber
Ex: Silk, Wool,
Camel Hair etc
Ex: Jute , Coir ,
Banana etc
Ex: Basalt ,
Asbestos
Ex:
Carbon,Glass,
Graphite,Alumin
a etc
According to its Source , Fibers are classified
23. According to its Forms , Fibers are classified
Fibers
Continuous
Fiber
Short/Chopped Fiber Whisker Flakes Particulate
Very Long and
unbroken Before
being used
Fibers chopped
into small
piece
Perfect single crystal
fiber
Short, Discontinuous,
Polygonal in cross
section
• Small, Flat,
Thin piece or
larger piece
• 2D geometry,
Exhibits
equal
strength in
all direction
of the planes
• Packed more
dense when
laid parallel
Size of the
particle will be
of few micron
in diameter
Increase the
modulus and
decrease
ductility
The load
carried by the
particle is
much larger
than matrix
24. According to orientation of fiber, composites are classified
Orientation of
fiber
Continuous
Fiber
Unidirectional
Single Layer
Woven
Bidirectional
Single layer
Lamina
Multilayer
Laminates
Hybrid
3 Dimensional
Discontinuous
Fiber
Random
Orientation
Preferred
Orientation
