The aim of this article is to monitor process induced defects such as delamination while drilling carbon fiber reinforced plastic nanocomposite laminates using acoustic emission. The carbon fiber reinforced plastic nanocomposite laminates were prepared and drilling experiments were carried out in the laminates using solid carbide drills of diameter 6 mm. The input parameters considered were cutting speed, feed, and wt% carbon nanofiber present in carbon fiber reinforced plastic nanocomposite laminates. A three level test for each parameter was conducted using L27 orthogonal array. The output response measured were acoustic emission characteristics such as root mean square of the signal, rise time, counts, energy, duration, peak amplitude, counts to peak, hits, average frequency, delamination, thrust force, and torque. The monitored parameters were analyzed and concluded that it is enough to monitor root mean square of the acoustic emission signal alone since all the other acoustic emission parameters are very closely related to acoustic emission root mean square. Monitoring the drilling of carbon fiber reinforced plastic nanocomposite laminates using acoustic emission is presented in this article which has not been reported so far.
Natural fiber-reinforced composites are the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to industrial applications. Composite materials reinforced with Sansevieria cylindrica (SC) fibers were developed in this research work. These fibers were chosen for their outstanding mechanical qualities. Compression moulding was used to create composite materials. Each leaf on a Sansevieria cylindrica plant is 20 to 30 mm thick, with a height of 1000 to 2000 mm. The Sansevieria cylindrica (SC) fibers were used as chemically treated fibers and untreated fibers to produce the composites. The tensile strength, hardness, and impact strength of various fiber weight% of composites (20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) were calculated. From the tested results, the maximum tensile strength achieved in 40 wt% of treated SC fiber composites is 85.7 MPa. The maximum hardness is found in 40 wt% of composites in both treated and untreated fiber composites. The 40 wt% of composites gives a better impact energy of 9.4 J/cm2.The SC fiber polyester composites have superior interfacial bonding and give maximal strength in treated SC fiber composites. The fiber treatment delivers greater strength than the untreated fiber, according to this study. The treated SC fibers have better strength and good bonding between the fiber and matrix to produce the composite materials.
Vehicular pollution is one of the main reasons for air pollution in many cities. According to Industrial Environment Carbon, every gallon of gasoline produces 14% total volume of carbon dioxide, this will ultimately lead to air pollution and global warming [10]. To minimize the emission level, physical adsorption [4] can be used for the removal of organic molecule from exhaust gas stream by impulse collision. So our proposed system consists of a filter matrix bed, made of activated carbon, calcium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide [8,9]. Activated carbon is the most widely used adsorbent. It can adsorb a wide range of pollutants with varying dimensions by its broad pore distribution, micro and mesophores. Calcium group can naturally adsorb carbon component and get transformed into lime. Lithium hydroxide is widely used as carbon capturing material in space craft for adsorbing carbon dioxide exhaled by astronaut as a breathing scrubber. So collectively these three carbon sequestrating material can efficiently remove the pollutant by chemisorptions [2].
The mechanical characteristics of a high impact polyethylene composite (HIPC) reinforced with abaca fibre (AF) are investigated in relation to fibre loading. An alkaline behaviour was used to improve the characteristics of the abaca fibre. With a fibre length of 100 mm, five different fibre loadings of the abaca fibre were used to create the samples of the composite (25, 35, 45, 55, and 65 wt percent). The object was made using compression moulding with unidirectional fibre orientation. The influence of fibre loading was investigated using tensile, hardness, and density tests. In an experiment, it was shown that with 55 percent fibre loading, tensile strength was 312 percent higher than without, and Young’s modulus was 545 percent higher than without. While this was happening, the hardness and density of the AF/PE composites were found to be quite similar, with minor increases from 25 wt percent to 65 wt percent AF loading in comparison to the control sample’s zero wt percent AF loading. 67.42 Shore-D and 1.014 g/cm3 are the highest values. The alkaline treatment of the AF/PE composite had a substantial influence on mechanical characteristics, according to the findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
