Simulation of stress in an innovative combination of composite with metal sheet

In this article research of stress impact in multi-point connection glass epoxy composite with a metal sheet with a rivet nuts was presented. Composite materials are increasingly used because of the good mechanical properties and low price. The laminates are composites of a layer structure, characterized by very high strength in the direction of the fibers, their weakness is not good toughness in a direction perpendicular to the layers. Mainly checking of displacements and stresses generated on the sheet as a result of pneumatic actuators load for composite boards was carried out. Glass-epoxy composite consisting of four layers of glass mat with a weight of 1000 g/m2 and an epoxy resin and hardener HG700 LG700 volume ratio of 38/100 was created. Next composite was fixed with steel plate with a rivet nuts and bolts. A model of laminate samples and plate was simulate in Siemens NX 8.5 software. The simulation results will determine stresses and displacements in conjunction newly designed composite sheet. Strength analysis was performed with the use of the module NX Advanced Simulation. FEM is an advanced method for solving systems of differential equations, based on the division of the field into finite elements for which the solution is approximated by specific functions, and performing the actual calculations only for nodes of this division. Due to the complexity of the created object to simplify the elements made to reduce the calculation time. This article presents the study of stresses and displacements in the composite plates joined with sheet metal, in summary of this article, the authors compare the obtainted results with the computer simulation results in the article: " The study of fix composite panel and steel plates on testing stand".
