Transcript of 04_Fraksi Volume & Laminate

  • Fibre Volume Fraction and Laminate Thickness

  • How much fibre?

  • How much reinforcement?Weight fraction Used in manufacture. May refer to fibre or resin - 'GRP' manufacturers will specify a glass content of (e.g.) 25 wt%; a prepreg supplier might give a resin content of 34 wt%.

    Volume fraction Used in design to calculate composite properties. Almost always refers to fibre content.

  • Weight fraction volume fraction conversionFor the special case of a two-component composite (eg fibre and matrix):

    fibre volume fraction

    Volume fraction - weight fraction conversion

    Sheet3

  • Maximum fibre volume fractionA composite cannot contain 100% fibre. Maximum volume fraction could be achieved only if unidirectional fibres are hexagonally close packed - ie all fibres are touching.

  • Maximum fibre volume fractionThe triangular unit cell has area 3 R2.The unit cell contains an area of fibre (three 60o segments) equal to pR2 / 2

    2R3R

  • Maximum fibre volume fractionIn a unidirectional fibre composite, the fibre area fraction is the same as the fibre volume fraction, so:

  • Maximum fibre volume fractionTheoretically, a unidirectional fibre composite could have Vf 90%. In practice, fibres cannot be perfectly aligned. Maximum volume fraction depends both on the fibre form and method of manufacture - for a unidirectional fibre composite: Vf 60-70%.

  • Maximum fibre volume fractionFor other forms of reinforcement, maximum volume fraction also depends on the detailed arrangement of the fibres. The following values are typical:

    stitched non-crimp0.6 woven fabric0.4 - 0.55 random (chopped strand mat)0.15 - 0.25

  • How much fibre?Commercial reinforcements are characterised by their areal weight (Aw). This is simply the weight (usually given in g) of 1 m2 of the reinforcement. Aw depends on many factors - fibre density, tow or bundle size, weave style, etc.Aw may range from 50 g/m2 or less (for lightweight surfacing tissues), up to more than 2000 g/m2 for some heavyweight non-crimp fabrics.

  • Laminate thicknessThe thickness of a composite laminate depends on the amount of reinforcement and the relative amount of resin which has been included. For a given quantity of reinforcement, a laminate with a high fibre volume fraction will be thinner than one with a lower fibre volume fraction, since it will contain less resin.

  • Laminate thicknessfibrematrixhigh matrix contentlow fibre content= thick laminatelow matrix contenthigh fibre content= thin laminateTwo laminates, both containing 5 plies of reinforcement:

  • Laminate thicknessFibre volume fraction is thus inversely proportional to laminate thickness.

    If the fibre content and laminate thickness are defined, we can calculate the fibre volume fraction:If the fibre content and volume fraction are defined, we can calculate the laminate thickness:

    1. What will be the thickness of a laminate consisting of 2 layers of 450 g/m2 chopped strand mat if a resin to glass ratio (by weight) of 2:1 is used?

  • Rules of Mixturefor Elastic Properties

  • 'Rules of Mixtures' are mathematical expressions which give some property of the composite in terms of the properties, quantity and arrangement of its constituents.

    They may be based on a number of simplifying assumptions, and their use in design should tempered with extreme caution!

  • DensityFor the special case of a fibre-reinforced matrix:

    since Vf + Vm = 1

  • Micromechanical models for stiffness

  • Unidirectional plyUnidirectional fibres are the simplest arrangement of fibres to analyse.They provide maximum properties in the fibre direction, but minimum properties in the transverse direction.fibre directiontransverse direction

  • Unidirectional plyWe expect the unidirectional composite to have different tensile moduli in different directions.These properties may be labelled in several different ways:E1, E||E2, E

  • Unidirectional plyBy convention, the principal axes of the ply are labelled 1, 2, 3. This is used to denote the fact that ply may be aligned differently from the cartesian axes x, y, z.132

  • Unidirectional ply - longitudinal tensile modulusWe make the following assumptions in developing a rule of mixtures:Fibres are uniform, parallel and continuous.Perfect bonding between fibre and matrix.Longitudinal load produces equal strain in fibre and matrix.

  • Unidirectional ply - longitudinal tensile modulusE1 = Ef Vf + Em ( 1-Vf )

    Note the similarity to the rules of mixture expression for density.

    In polymer composites, Ef >> Em, soE1 Ef Vf

  • This rule of mixtures is a good fit to experimental data

    (source: Hull, Introduction to Composite Materials, CUP)

  • Unidirectional ply - transverse tensile modulusThe simplified model lumps fibre and matrix together, and assumes that both components experience the same stress:

    s2s2or

  • If Ef >> Em, E2 Em / (1-Vf)Note that E2 is not particularly sensitive to Vf.If Ef >> Em, E2 is almost independent of fibre property:
