    Fracture behavior of 2124Al- 10vol% SiCp composite tensile specimens for different heat treatment conditions

    By 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 Vessel

    By 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 …

    Optimal Abrasive Jet Machining Parameters for Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics

    By K. Prasanth Kumar Reddy, Shyam Prasad Kodali, N. Rajesh, T. Parameshwaran Pillai, B. Nageswara Rao

    Abstract: Abrasive jet machining (AJM) is a best choice for processing of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP). Inherent to the nonlinear behavior of performance characteristics during repeated experiments are inevitable variations, attributed to measurement errors and unknown influencing input variables. This study employs the Taguchi method with an orthogonal array to systematically identify optimal input variables through a limited number of experiments. The paper introduces a direct and reliable Taguchi-based multi-objective …
