What is a composite ?
• A composite material is a homogeneous mixture created by the synthetic assembly of two materials of which one is a reinforcing material calledfiber and other is the binding material called matrix.
• It is used in all the fields like Automotive, Aerospace, Construction Industry and Entertainment industry etc

Characteristics
• Rigid – High Strength to weight ratio
• Good Electrical resistance
• Resistance to chemical and weather is high
• Good stiffness
• Good Corrosion resistance

Why Composites ?
• To improve the fuel efficiency by reducing the mass
(Improves straight-line acceleration and top speed, lowering weight offers these benefits as well as improving handling characteristics (especially around curves).
• To improve the safety and crashworthiness
• To enhance styling and part consolidation
• To provide the aerodynamic design
![Page 10: Composite Materials Mr.S.srinivasan](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050906/553d0676550346e0478b4ab6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• increase horsepower or decrease mass. This results in a higher power-to-weight ratio, a key predictor of vehicle performance. While raising horsepower alone improves straight-line acceleration and top speed, lowering weight offers these benefits as well as improving handling characteristics (especially around curves). Less weight also reduces loads on the braking and suspension systems, permitting engineers to take additional weight out of these components.

To improve the fuel efficiency by reducing the mass
• Automobile – 5-7 $ /KG
• Aeronautical –500- 700 $ / KG
• Space – 5000 to 7000$ /KG.

To improve the safety and crashworthiness
•Maintain occupant survivable volume or occupant
space.
•Restrain occupants (within that space) • Limit occupants deceleration within tolerable levels
• Retain “ safety- cage “integrity
•Minimize post crash hazards

To improve the safety and crashworthiness
The specific energy of absorption is given by
S.EA == W /V ρ
Where W --- Total Energy absorption = Area
under curve
V --- Volume of crushed material
ρ --- Density of the material
![Page 14: Composite Materials Mr.S.srinivasan](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050906/553d0676550346e0478b4ab6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Safety effect by using composites
• Reduces damage and injury to the passenger from accidents.
• Composite C –fiber composites are preferable over steel/ magnesium or aluminium as they exhibit higher energy absorption values.
• These structure members are in the form of tubular beams and can be made from glass fiber and carbon fiber for more critical components.
