Abstract
In this study, the axial compressive stresses of hollow circular composite tubes were investigated. For this purpose, hollow circular composite tubes with various inner diameters (Ø12 and Ø13 millimeters), a height of 80 millimeters, and an outer diameter kept constant at Ø17 millimeters were fabricated using a fiber winding process. In the production of hollow circular tubes, epoxy was used as resin, and glass fiber, carbon fiber, and Kevlar fiber were used as reinforcement materials. Experimental investigations were carried out for three different reinforcement materials, two thin-wall thicknesses, and five orientation angles. Axial compression tests were performed to research the influences of reinforcement materials, thin-wall thickness, and orientation angles on the compressive stresses. The axial compressive strength of the samples was observed experimentally by applying the load in the vertical direction. The reinforcement material, orientation angle, and thin-walled thickness had an important influence on the axial compressive stress. The glass/epoxy reinforcement material was found to have the highest axial compressive strength at 204 Mpa. When the orientation angle increased from 45° to 88°, the axial compressive stress increased by 2.27 times in glass/epoxy, 2.36 times in carbon/epoxy, and 2.37 times in Kevlar/epoxy specimens, respectively. In addition, by increasing the specimen wall thickness by 0.5 millimeters, the axial compressive stress at an 88° orientation angle increased by 9.67 % glass/epoxy, 11.85 % carbon/epoxy, and 7.14 % Kevlar/epoxy specimens.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology is to provide an international forum for the publication and dissemination of original work that contributes to the understanding of the main and related disciplines of mechanical engineering, either empirical or theoretical. The Journal covers the whole spectrum of mechanical engineering, which includes, but is not limited to, Materials and Design Engineering, Production Engineering and Fusion Technology, Dynamics, Vibration and Control, Thermal Engineering and Fluids Engineering.
Manuscripts may fall into several categories including full articles, solicited reviews or commentary, and unsolicited reviews or commentary related to the core of mechanical engineering.
