  Dynamic Response Analysis of Isotropic and Orthotropic Rectangular Plates under Clamped-Free Conditions

  By K. Rakesh, M.L. Pavan Kishorre, M. Avinash, B. Madhavi

  Abstract: This study explores Theoretical and numerical tools of determining the free vibration properties of isotropic and fiber-reinforced composite rectangular plates. The effect of anisotropy of materials on the dynamic response of the plates is compared between the Aluminium plates and the glass-epoxy laminates. The model used in the study is a three-dimensional finite element model that is designed using a combination of SolidWorks and ANSYS workflow. Clamped-free boundary conditions are …

  Fibre Orientation and Void Distribution Analysis in Polymer Composite Structures Using Image Processing

  By T. Suguna, G. Reddy Hemantha, Edwin Paul N.E., K. Jayasakthi, M. Dharani, Venkata Prasanth B.

  Abstract: Fibre orientation and void distribution are critical microstructural features that govern the mechanical performance and reliability of polymer composite materials. Accurate and simultaneous characterisation of these features remains challenging due to their complex spatial interactions and dependence on processing conditions. In this work, an integrated image-processing framework is proposed for the quantitative analysis of fiber orientation and void distribution in polymer composite structures. High-resolution composite microstructure images are processed through …

  Mechanical Characterization of Hybrid Basalt Fiber Composites with Silicon Carbide Fillers

  By G. Ashwin Prabhu, R. Selvam, Muninathan K., Janarthanam Vijayanand, P. Premkumar, Ruskin Bruce A., Sakthivel D., T. Balasubramanian, Jeyasuriya J., Mohamed Rashath M.

  Abstract: Natural fiber composites (NFCs) have experienced significant growth and innovation in recent research because to their advantages over synthetic fiber composites, including their lower cost and environmental impact. This paper investigates the tension and compression properties of hybrid laminate composites composed of stainless-steel wire mesh, epoxy resin reinforced with basalt fibre, and silicon carbide (SiC) filler. Composites with varying weight percentages of SiC filler (0%, 1.5%, and 3%), were made …
