The steady state creep in Al-SiC P composite cylinder subjected to internal pressure was investigated. The creep behavior of the material were described by threshold stress based creep law by assuming a stress exponent of 5. The effect of size and content of the reinforcement (SiC P ), and operating temperature on the stresses and strain rates in the composite cylinder were investigated. The stresses in the cylinder did not have significant variation with varying size and content of the reinforcement, and operating temperature. However, the tangential as well as radial strain rates in the cylinder could be reduced to a significant extent by decreasing size of SiC P , increasing the content of SiC P and decreasing operating temperature.
The word hybrid composite defines the composite containing more than one type of fiber material as reinforcing fillers or additives. It has become an attractive property of hybrid composite than single fiber containing composite. Natural fiber hybrid composites are providing “eco-materials” to the world which has gained key importance in preserving our environment. Due to excess availability of industrial, agricultural, mining, and domestic solid wastes from the primary process, the environmental and ecological storing and disposal problems are created. In order to safeguard the environment, solid waste materials are used as good fillers for making natural fiber polymeric composites to improve its mechanical and moisture properties.
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.
