efficient and sustainable lightweigth soluyion are based on a holistic understanding
low spesific weight
high strength
required physical properties
cost resons
properties can be costomise
corresion reistance
macrospically quasi homogenous
distinction between filler and reinforcement
adjustable properties for specific application
heterogeneous material consisting of at least two or more than non mutually soluble component
low density
high stiffness and strength
very good fatig behavor
high abillity of functional integration
low thermal expansion
low thermal and electrical conductivity
very good corrosion resistance
low damage tolorance
need to experties for design and dimensioning
temprature and heat stability and sensitivity compared to metal
mostly high cost
for carbon and aramid fibers
matris stiffness,strength>fiber
matris elongation at break>fiber elongation at break
fiber volum fraction must be above a critical value
interfacial strength >shear strength of matrix
interlaminar strength is determined by matrix properties
fiber:stiffness,strength,fatigue behavor,impact behavor,thermomechanical properties
matrix:damage tolerance
matrix: temperature resistance,chemical resistance
micro void
lack of interface adhesion
material in fiber form has a much higher strength than the same material in other form
the thiner the fiber ,the higher strength
the strength of a fiber seems higher when the clamping (gauge length) is shorter
in conposite material can handle more stress together than each part alone.
bcs the strong part of the comps help componsate for weak part.
important for thermal and mechanical properties as well as physical and chemical pro
allow manipulate of the propery profile
mostly improvement of one properties at the expences of other
thermosetting and thermoplastics
thermoplastics are increasingly gaining importance
start and transfer forces between fibers
maintain the shape of the part
keep the fiber stick together with minmum distance
balance heavy load
protecting the fiber from enviromental influences
material,process
for process:curing behaviour,processing time,viscosity
for material:resistance ,reaction to fire,fracture,electrical and mechanical proper
temprature limit
varies based on type and arrangement of fiber
is crucial for sizing component
is hard to measure accurately
needed for standardizing test specimens.
the force is transmitted to the fiber via shear stress.
aspect ratio
properties of fiber and matrix
ratio of E(matrix) to E(fiber)
to use fiber strength they need to be long enough to bear loads until they break
increase stiffness:l<Lcrit
improve resistance L>=Lcrit
fiber can detach from resin,causing it to slide
fiber can be pull out
matrix can be break,either in a brittle or ductile way
fiber can break,especially in brittle material
too much ahdesion between fiber and matrix is not always good
a moderate adhesion can help compoiste absorb more energy during impact by fiber pull out
energy absorption depends on fiber length and diameter ,as well as shear stress in the interface
isotropic: metal behave the same in all directio,material consept and design is seperate
anisotropic: material concept and design are coupled,in laminate behavoir depends on fiber direction
coating of fiber with coupling agent
chemical and physical treatment
improve interface between fiber and matrix chemicaly
agent group can be added during mixing
for thermoplastic:mah. thermoset:silane
removal of the weakend fiber surface or impurites
adding chemical reactive group to the fiber surface
improve of surface structure
improve of fiber wetout
no coupling agent available.aramid is chemically inert.
mechanical coupling is hardly possible
sizing of fiber,serves mainly as protection
the accumulation of reactive group by plasma treatment was successfuly tested.
