“…As the concentration of nanoparticles increases, there is a greater chance for them to agglomerate or form clusters, which can lead to heterogeneity and reduced flexural properties [ 61 , 62 ]. When the concentration of nanoparticles in the nanocomposite rises above a certain threshold, the particles begin to agglomerate [ 63 , 64 ]. This acts as an obstacle to stress transmission from the PM to the NFr, which leads to a decline in flexural performance in composites that have a greater percentage of inorganic nanoparticles than 2% and Sharma et al [ 65 ] noticed the similar effect.…”

“…As a result, the aluminium (AA) based 6xxx series alloys are of high interest in the engineering fields such as rails, and electricals due to their excellent strength to weight ratio. Other advantages of AA6026 alloys are their machinability, weldability and superior corrosion resistance [1,2]. Exploring AA6026-based alloys with ceramic particles is becoming more popular due to these benefits.…”

Due to the complexity of high temperature and cutting tool wear, most machined components are still facing problems in terms of harder functional fillers that reinforce aluminium matrix composites. Conversely, abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) incredibly useful for the cutting of anisotropic and non-homogeneous metal matrix composites. In this research article, silicon carbide (SiC) particulates were utilized as reinforcement in the AA6026 matrix material (AA6026/SiC) and machined using AWJM under different process parameters namely SiC loading, traverse speed and stand-off distance. Two different compositions of SiC (4, and 8 wt%) were considered to fabricate AA6026 composites using the stir casting. In addition, outputs have been examined, e.g., surface roughness, material removal rate, and kerf angle. An optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, Brinell hardness tester and universal testing machine have been used to characterize the matrix material AA6026 and its composites. Microstructural analysis revealed that the inclusion of SiC particulates in AA6026 affects the very fine grain size of the composite. Furthermore, the 8 wt% composite exhibits the evolution of the Al-Si eutectic phase during solidification. Processing of these composites was performed using the L27 orthogonal geometry, successfully improving the parameters of the abrasive water jet process. The output response shows that reducing the SiC load improves the surface roughness under the key parameters of traverse speed and stand-off distance. However, increasing the SiC loading increases the material removal rate and kerf angle under the key parameters, namely traverse speed, and stand-off distance.

“…Several of these factors includes, the orientation and content of carbon fibers, the type of polymer matrix, and the manufacturing process (Barbero, 2023). Therefore, to accurately use FEA for predictions, the material characterization is essential, leaving the focus of researchers on improving the accuracy of material characterization of CFRP using different kinds of techniques like microscopy, mechanical testing, and X-ray diffraction (Azhagiri et al, 2023). Also, although Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a numerical technique that can be used to simulate the behavior of structures under different loading conditions, the accuracy of FEA predictions is highly dependent on the accuracy of material characterization.…”

Human understanding of materials keeps increasing at an accelerating rate and this accounts for the wide range of synthetic and naturally occurring materials which have been used across different fields for industrial, domestic and other applications. This study investigates the mechanical behavior of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) materials through computational modeling using SolidWorks for component design and MATLAB for simulation and analysis. The aim is to explore the advantages of CFRP as a potential alternative material for structural applications, considering its lightweight properties and enhanced performance. For the models developed, the maximum stress values observed for Cast Alloy Steel were 121.1 N/mm2 (MPa) for the connecting rod and 95.9 N/mm2 (MPa) for the cam shaft, whereas CFRP exhibited slightly lower values of 113.1 N/mm2 (MPa) and 87.8 N/mm2 (MPa) respectively. The maximum stress values for Aluminum Alloy in the propeller were 162.1 N/mm2 (MPa), while CFRP showed a slightly lower value of 161.4 N/mm2 (MPa). These results from the computational analysis of CFRP materials showcases their superior mechanical characteristics when compared to Alloy Steel and Aluminum, also providing valuable insights into the potential benefits of CFRP as a lightweight and high-performance material, supporting its consideration as an alternative option in structural engineering applications.
