Case Studies Chapter 1 Design using Carbon Nanotubes Given We will calculate the deflection of a simply supported beam of PLA with dimensions of 6 inch width, 1/8 inch thick, 4 feet long. The distributed load of 0.25 pounds will be applied to the beam. We will do the calculation with multiple reinforcing fibers at 3 different fiber loadings. Reinforcing materials Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) Carbon Fiber Glass Fiber No Reinforcement Loadings .5% 5% 20% Moduli Pure PLA: 3.3 Gpa Glass Fiber: 70 Gpa Carbon Fiber: 400 Gpa CNT: 1000 Gpa Note: Gpa= Gigapascal= 1billion Pascals Proportion Fiber Fraction Calculation Calculation for .5% fibers νf= .005 ν= 1 So the proportion at: .5% is .005 5% is .05 20% is .2 Composite Modulus E1= Composite Modulus ?f = Proportion of fiber volume to overall volume Ef = Modulus of fibers Em= Modulus of matrix (polymer) Formula to calculate the modulus with perfect adhesion at the interface Composite Modulus Calculation Glass Fiber at .5% loading ?f = .005 Ef = 70 GPa Em= 3.3 GPa Beam Calculations Now that we have all the moduli for the different reinforcements and loadings we must calculate the moment of inertia of the beam in order to make the deflection calculations Moment of Inertia I= moment of inertia b= base h= height 6in .125in Moment of Inertia Calculation 6in .125in Deflection ymax= max deflection w = load L = unsupported length E = modulus I = moment of inertia 4ft .125in Force: 0.25lbs distributed Glass Fiber at .5%
