Design Optimization of Formula One Student Sports Car Upright Using Hypermesh

This project mainly aims to develop a light weight upright to the formula one student sports car, where it can withstand the various loads that are coming on the uprights, and also to propose a material for the upright to decrease the weight of the upright, and also to propose a manufacturing procedure for the selected material, validation is carried out on the upright for the selected material on Hypermesh to check whether the selected design can withstand the loads coming on to it by applying various load paths in Hypermesh and manufacturing the design by using the RAPID PROTOTYPING techniqu

Mechanical Test on Aluminum Alloy with Maximal Soluble SiC Reinforcement

This work deals with the characteristics of LM-13alloy under cyclic stress with and without 63% by weight of SiC-reinforced composite particle reinforcements both cast and tempered at ambient condition. The hardness of the composite sample before and after tempering was 112 HV and 134HV. The tempered sample shows 16.4% increment. UTS of base alloy and the composite was determined to be 165 MPa and 149 and 210, and 145 and 192, respectively. The UTS decreases by 12% in cast state and 8% in tempered condition. The tempered base alloy shows an increment of 21%, and the 0.25% proof stress increased by 28%. After heat treatment, the elongation at the break of the base alloy improved to 3.5%. The tempered specimen shows an increased fatigue performance of approximately 43%. The fatigue life was determined to be about 165 repetitions at the 75 MPa level of stress with 75% of UTS utilization. Decohesion of a silicon particulate interaction and in certain circumstances, the subsequent breakdown of SiC particles has led to fractures in composites. The preheated eutectic silicon that had an almost gain round shape will withstand crack growth development, as the aluminum matrix had a higher cohesive force compared to reinforced SiC particles which provide less strain increase locations. Stronger bonds among silica eutectic and aluminum matrices produced the fracture across their contact, silicon breaks owing to the application of the fatigue load and lead to specimen failure

Investigation of Functionally Graded Adherents on Failure of Socket Joint of FRP Composite Tubes

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) matrix materials are quickly being investigated for application in concrete construction repair, reinforcement, and refurbishment. The technology has progressed to the point that its future acceptance is mainly reliant on the availability of established design guidelines based on recognized performance criteria, as well as the cost competitiveness of these technologies in contrast to conventional rehabilitation methods. The goal of this study is to evaluate the different functional grades of adhesives throughout bond length for bonded socket joints of laminated FRP composite pipes. Damage development resistance is high with a functionally graded FRP composite socket joint, as shown. To extend the service life of the structure, the joint designer should use an FRP composite socket joint with a functionally graded adhesive (FGA)
