(A) Summary Uniaxial tensile test of SMC Panels were carried out in accordance to BS 2782-3: Methods 320A to 320F:1976 "Methods of Testing Plastics – Part 3: Mechanical properties – Methods 320A to 320F: Tensile strength, elongation and elastic modulus" and Singapore Standard 245:1995 (ICS 23.020.10) "Specification for Glass Reinforced Polyester Sectional Water Tanks″. A typical specimen prepared for uniaxial tensile test is shown on the figure in Appendix 1 and a specimen under test is shown on the figure in Appendix 2. Five specimens from each SMC panel were tested to obtain the Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, elongation and failure stress. The fibre mass fraction of the panels was obtained in accordance to BS2782 : Part 10 : Method 1002 : 1977 EN60 "Determination of Loss on Ignition" and BS 5734-1:1990 "Polyester Moulding Compounds for Electrical and Other Purposes" at some selected locations. A typical specimen for fibre fraction measurements and the fibre obtained after burn-off process are shown on the figures in Appendix 4.

    Assignment 5 (30 points) 1. (5 points) Compute the longitudinal and transverse stiffness E1, E2 of an S-glass epoxylamina for a fiber volume fraction Vf = 0.7, using the properties from attached Tables. 2. (5 points) Plot the longitudinal stiffness E1 of an E-glass/nylon unidirectionally reinforced composite, as a function of the volume fraction Vf of fiber. Use the properties from attached Tables. 3. (5 points) Plot the longitudinal tensile strength of an E-glass/epoxy unidirectionallyreinforced composite, as a function of the volume fraction of fiber, assuming tensile strength follows a volume rule of additivity. Use the properties from attached Tables. 4. (5 points) What is the maximum volume fraction of spherical fillers that could be obtained in the particle-reinforced composite assuming cubic packing? Please show the step. 5. (4 points) Using the Takayanagi model and assuming uniform strain in the matrix, derive a relationship for the transverse, tensile compliance of a unidirectionally-reinforced composite. 6. (6 points) Two test specimens have the same Young’s modulus in tension. However, one of the specimens is homogeneous while the other one has two layers with one layer stiffer than other layer. How will the flexural modulus of the two specimens differ? Explain. (Hint, use Parallel and Series model to calculate the modulus to compare them. Assume the modulus of stiff material is 1X109MPa as and the modulus of soft material is 1X108 , and the volume fraction of each one is 0.5) Properties will be used for solving above problems: The modulus of S-glass is 85.5 GPa, the modulus of E-glass is 72.4 GPa, the modulus of Epoxy is 3.5 GPa and the modulus of polyamide (nylon) is 3.0 GPa. The tensile break strength of E-glass is 2.4 GPa and that of epoxy is 45 MPa. The break strain for E-glass and epoxy is 2.6% and 1.28%, respectively.…

    The experiment observed the mechanical deformation process of different materials by three tests: tensile test, impact test, and fracture-toughness test. The materials evaluated in the tensile test were annealed 1045 steel, cold rolled 1045 steel, 2024-T4 aluminum and cast iron. 2024-T4 aluminum is concluded to be most ductile (25.7 % reduction in area) and cast iron the most brittle (123 MPa). Effects of cold rolling in 1045 steel are apparent, as it has the highest strength among the materials tested (402 MPa yield strength). Impact test measured the impact energy of 1045 steel, 2024 aluminum, polypropylene (PP), and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). This test also observed the effect of temperature on material ductility. The fracture-toughness test was performed on 2024-T4 aluminum to determine a KIC of 35.3 MPam. From the experiment, it was found that the brittle-ductile transition temperature of PP is between 0 0C and room temperature, whereas the transition temperature of 1045 steel is between 25 0C and 100 0C.…

    To be able to decide on what kind of material to choose for product design, there are some critical characteristics you must consider in choosing a material prior to manufacturing. Characteristics such as material strength and flexibility are two tests that have been done on common materials for architects and engineers to reference during the design process. The purpose of this lab is to produce an elastic modulus of a material, and a predicted yield strength. Stress and strain data will be produced through tensile testing and cantilever beam testing.…

    The F.A.S.T system, which was developed by the Australian International Wool Bureau, consists of three simple instruments and a test method. The FAST-1 compression meter gives a accurate measurement of fabric thickness at various load, and then surface layer thickness can be easily calculated. With FAST-2, the fabric bending length can be measured according to British Standard (Standard No.BS3356-1961). In this test, bending length is converted into bending rigidity which plays an important role in fabric handle. FAST-3 is testing for fabric extensibility at various loads. According to the results of this part, the ability of a fabric to resist buckling can be revealed.…

    I like to operate under the assumption that I’m wrong. I’m not saying I do this every day or even regularly, but it’s an introspection that is rarely suffered in our society. Some of the worldviews I hold are not the most popular, but when I pretend I’m wrong about everything in life, there’s suddenly no need to argue about where lines need to be drawn. With self-questioning, I begin an internal discussion that I can take into conversations with peers. I don’t assume my worldviews are false.…

    The objective of this CDIO experiment was to determine the mechanical property of polymeric materials which was the tensile properties .The testing standard to adopt for the tensile testing was ASTM D638. Four different types of polymers were placed into the tensile testing machine. The different specimens would then be stretched till it breaks. The tensile testing machine would give the information on the force that was required to stretch the different specimens until it breaks. The average reading of Tensile modulus of all four specimens tested range from 500.00 -1600.0N/mm2. The average reading of Tensile Strength and Yield Strength ranges from 21.000N/mm2 – 37.000N/mm2 and 22.000N/mm2 – 34.000N/mm2 respectively.…
