Abstract
The bio-composite materials are compatible with many diversified applications except in marine or submerged instances. An attempt is made in this work to foresee the bio-composite built with Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) as a principal constituent and natural biodegradable fibres (peels of lemon, sweet lime, potato and onion). The project is aimed to build the laminate structure model with the substrate as PLA reinforced with natural fibres using ANSYS Workbench. The simulation test was carried out with various parameters: single impact, uniform pressure, sphere of influence energy absorption. Natural fibre composites were built with a volume fraction of 10%, 20% and 30% of PLA to arrive at optimum results. The computation analysis was carried out using explicit dynamic analysis as a solver and a model of impact analyser was built-in design modeller that is available in ANSYS Workbench. The simulation results are considered for further experimental testing as future work with analytical calculations referred to in ASTM D7136.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Vehicle Structures and Systems (IJVSS) is a quarterly journal and is published by MechAero Foundation for Technical Research and Education Excellence (MAFTREE), based in Chennai, India. MAFTREE is engaged in promoting the advancement of technical research and education in the field of mechanical, aerospace, automotive and its related branches of engineering, science, and technology. IJVSS disseminates high quality original research and review papers, case studies, technical notes and book reviews. All published papers in this journal will have undergone rigorous peer review. IJVSS was founded in 2009. IJVSS is available in Print (ISSN 0975-3060) and Online (ISSN 0975-3540) versions. The prime focus of the IJVSS is given to the subjects of modelling, analysis, design, simulation, optimization and testing of structures and systems of the following: 1. Automotive vehicle including scooter, auto, car, motor sport and racing vehicles, 2. Truck, trailer and heavy vehicles for road transport, 3. Rail, bus, tram, emerging transit and hybrid vehicle, 4. Terrain vehicle, armoured vehicle, construction vehicle and Unmanned Ground Vehicle, 5. Aircraft, launch vehicle, missile, airship, spacecraft, space exploration vehicle, 6. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Micro Aerial Vehicle, 7. Marine vehicle, ship and yachts and under water vehicles.
