VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF BIO-DEGRADABLE COMPOSITE WITH A NUMBER OF LAYERS

Abstract

—Modern scientists are now focusing their research on materials that are naturally biodegradable and kind to the environment. Bio-composite materials formed of natural/regular fiber materials and resins, or a mixture of both, are regarded as one of the key accomplishments in the diverse field of experimental work as we are aware that concerns about natural protections are growing worldwide. The two stages of the composited make up the majority of its constituents: 1) Matrix, and 2) Binder. Natural fiber composites have received a lot of attention from scientists throughout the world due to the availability of the necessary characteristic fiber and the ease of assembly. The Mechanical APDL Analysis tool is used to create the desired model, which has different layers (3, 4, 6, and 8 accordingly). To compare the results, the natural frequencies of each individual layer are taken into consideration and documented in a tabular data format. Both eigen buckling analysis and modal analysis are successfully performed on the desired model. The reference research paper demonstrates the buckling loads for glass fiber with various layers made up of various orientations. The main objective of the project is to create a biocomposite with Bamboo fiber and Rice Husk as filler and to perform the vibration analysis with different layers and Eigen buckling analysis. Natural frequencies are obtained from vibration analysis and buckling loads are obtained from Eigen buckling analysis thus for a better understanding of the dynamic behavior of components made from fiber-reinforced composite materials, specifically for the case of plates. This study contributes to a better& more realistic understanding of the dynamical behavior of plates formed of fiber-reinforced composite materials in order to prevent structural damage imposed on or induced by undesirable vibrations.
