Advantages and disadvantages of composites

• Advantages• High ratio between strength and stiffness to density

• High resistance against creep and fatigue

• High strength at high temperatures

• High toughness

• Resistivity to corrosion

• Anisotropy

• Disadvantages• Expensive materials

• Expensive manufacturing

• Hard to repair

• Material properties

• Anisotropy

• Complex testing of properties and inspection

Principle of composite

Two or more components are combined in such a way that the properties of the resulting material cannot be obtain from one homogeneous material

High-tech application of composites

Composites in sport and luxury goods

Phases of composites

• Matrix - continuous

• Reinforcement – discrete

Materials of fibres

Matrix Materials

•Polymeric• Thermosets (Epoxides)• Thermoplastic matrix (Polyetheretherketone (PEEK),

Polyfenylensulfide (PPS))

•Metallic• Copper• Sintered carbides• Cermets

•Ceramic• SiC whiskers / Al2O3 matrix• SiC whiskers / Si3N4 matrix• SiC / SiC matrix• Fiber / glass matrix• Carbon / carbon composites

Synergic effect

•Rule of mixtures: PRoM = P1f1 + P2f2 (f1 + f2 = 1)

•Synergy Pobserved >>> PRoM

•Fracture toughness: •glass U~ 1 J/m2, •polyester U~ 100-1000 J/m2

•Rule of mixtures U~ 1 – 1000 J/m2 but... •Observed U~ 104 - 105 J/m2 !!

•WHY???

Interface - wetting

Interaction between fracture and composite

-Plastic deformation of matrix in vicinity of crack-Crack changes direction in contact with fiber (not perpendicular to force)-Energy to separate fiber from matrix-Pull/out of fibers from matrix - friction

Fracture toughness of composites

Comparison of composites and other classes of materials

Testing of composite materials

• Elastic properties (4 independent values)• Modulus of elasticity in direction of fibers

• Modulus of elasticity in perpendicular direction to fibers

• Shear modulus

• Poisson ratio

• Strength properties (5 independent values)• In direction of fibers – tension and compression

• In direction perpendicular to fibers – tension and compression

• Shear strength
