Fracture behavior of 2124Al- 10vol% SiCp composite tensile specimens for different heat treatment conditionsBy T. Parameshwaran Pillai, K. S. Sajikumar, K. Prasanth Kumar Reddy, B. Nageswara Rao
Abstract: This article presents experimental details on 2124Al-10vol% SiCp composite tensile specimens, which were made by squeeze casting process. Cast metal composites are generally very brittle and have poor mechanical properties. To strengthen the matrix and improve ductility, the specimens were heat-treated by solutionizing and aging. Experiments were carried out at 3 different solutionizing temperatures, solutionizing time, aging temperature and aging time to examine the influence of heat treatment process parameters …

Design and Analysis of a Metal Lined Composite Overwrapped Pressure VesselBy Kammili Harsha Naga Sai, Boggarapu Nageswara Rao, T. Parameshwaran Pillai, K. S. Sajikumar, K. Prasanth Kumar Reddy
Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the mechanical behavior of a metal lined composite overwrapped pressure vessel, designed for high-pressure storage applications. The design approach is dependent upon fiber material constants and dome shape factor. The study begins with obtaining dome coordinates and maintaining winding angles according to a geodesic path equation. Thickness estimation for the portion of cylindrical shell and domes are determined through netting analysis and cubic …
