STUDIES ON WEAR BEHAVIOR OF BORON CARBIDE PARTICULATES REINFORCED ALUMINUM 7075 METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES
Abstract: In this present work, Aluminum 7075 is used as matrix material with Boron Carbide asreinforcement. Two different compositions were used to prepare the composite. The composites werefabricated by Stir Casting Technique as per ASTM G99 and tested under Pin-on-Disc wear test rig. Theexperiments are conducted through conventional method and macro structural studies were carried out bySEM analysis. The results show that, in conventional method, the reinforced composite Aluminum 7075-10%B 4 …

Study Analysis of Nano Particle based Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) Composites
Abstract: Utilization of Fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) composites for development of new and modification of already present structures has increased largely in the past few decades. Fiber Reinforced Polymer composites have many qualities like corrosion resistant, longer life time, less weight, specific stiffness and high strength, are effortlessly built, and can be custom-made to fulfill execution prerequisites [1]. Fiber Reinforced Polymer composites are ordinarily manufactured utilizing a polymer framework, for example, …

STUDIES ON MECHANICAL, OPTICAL AND BARRIER PROPERTIES OF LOW DENSITY POLY ETHYLENE WITH MICRO CLAY
Abstract: LDPE (Low density Poly ethylene) was melt blended with micro clay (0.5, 1, 3 & 5 wt%) by using a twin screw compounding extruder. Tubular blown film was taken using a tubular blown film extruder. Mechanical, optical and barrier properties were evaluated. The following trend was observed as the micro clay concentration was increased: The tensile strength was increased by 18% in machine direction (M/D) and decreased by 36% in …

BUCKLING ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE CYLINDRICAL SHELL STRUCTURE USING FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
Abstract: When designing cylindrical shells one should consider not only the strength problem in service, but also the buckling problem. Cylindrical shells such as thin-walled structures are susceptible to buckling when subjected to static and dynamic stresses. The vessels are exposed to dynamic sea conditions depending on their usage. The functional failure of a pressurized composite vessel or a composite pipe in the form of leakage or weeping of the contained …

Optimization of Dry sliding Wear Performance of pongamia oil cake filled Basalt Epoxy Composites by Taguchi Approach
Abstract: The study finds a possible utilization of natural pongamia oil cake for developing a new vista in the incorporation of the oily nature of natural waste material into polymer matrix composites. The woven basalt fibres were reinforced within an epoxy matrix incorporated with distinct weight percentages of pongamia oil cake (up to 6wt. %) and composite samples were composed by using resin transfer moulding process. The experimentation has been carried …
