Identification of regularities in the behavior of a glass fiber-reinforced polyester composite of the impact test based on ASTM D256 standard

Abstract

In this research, commotional analysis based on the finite element analysis (FEA) has been performed to investigate IZOD impact test based on the ASTM D256 standard. The ANSYS model primarily employs a composite constructed of glass fiber-reinforced polyester for the boundary conditions. The CEAST 9050 instrument was used to implement the impacting technique in the experimental inquiry. By employing mathematics, we have calculated that the applied force is 9.2 N. A hammer traveling at a speed of 3.5 meters per second is used to strike the samples, and the results are recorded after each blow. The object of this study is the mechanical properties and structural integrity of the composite material composed of glass fibers and polyester when subjected to impact forces. The main hypothesis of the study encompasses the optimism that the glass fiber-reinforced polyester composite, when put through the Izod impact test in accordance with ASTM D256. Convergence between the overall deformation indicator and the numerical result has occurred. Results from the numerical analysis were examined and confirmed, and compared to those from the experiment. The specimens in this study were totally distorted at three different thicknesses (6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm). Deformation was found to be greatest for the thinnest value of thickness considered in the study (6 millimeters), as determined by the results of the computer analysis. This was the case even though the thickness value was not the sole criterion. This is the actual state of affairs. The specimen was subjected to a von-Mises stress at three different thicknesses of 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm. The computer investigation revealed that the Von-Mises stress was highest at the thinnest possible thickness of just 6 millimeters. Internal energy, kinetic energy, and touch energy are only few of the various types of energy that have been studied in the context of energy conservation
