The Optimum Design of Particulate in Composite Sheets Using Finite Element Method

Abstract

Composite sheets are relatively new materials used in different applications of sheet metals forming as it has better mechanical properties than the other employed engineering materials. Scientists of materials engineering try to connect between industrial applications and the characteristics of composite sheets to solve many of the industrial problems which have occurred. In addition, the composites sheets are used in complex designs for mechanical parts which used in space shuttles and submarines.In this study, an Sic particulatereinforced composite sheet was numerically simulated using finite element method to show the effect of silicon carbide particles arrangements on the design of Sicreinforced epoxy composite sheet.
