Stressand modal analysis of fiber reinforced epoxy nanocomposites

Abstract

With the increase of competition in the field of materials, requirement of lighter and best material is in a huge demand in the market. Nanocomposites are a new class of materials which give better mechanical properties even at small amounts of nanofillers. So, the researchers are approaching from the direction of nanocomposites to meet the requirement of strength and mass. In this context, the finite element methods find application in studying the properties of new materials and evaluate their performance under different loading conditions. In the present work, the element meshes have been prepared in OOF2 after inputting the original morphology of fiber reinforced epoxy nanocomposites. The stresses and modal analysis have been carried out in Abaqus. The results of the analysis carried out under tensile loads are found to be close to experimental results under 22.5% deviation.
