Carbon Fiber Reinforced

3D printing of carbon fiber reinforced plastics can produce lightweight components with higher efficiency and more complex structure. For the short carbon fiber reinforced plastics, the composites are firstly made by compounding, then they are processed to filaments, powders or other needed forms, finally the components are printed by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selected Laser Sintering (SLS) or other methods. The tensile strength of the nylon-based component is more than 70 MPa. Companies such as EOS, Stratasys and Farsoon can provide the materials and equipments. For the continuous carbon fiber reinforced plastics, the divided carbon fibers and plastic filaments or impregnated carbon fiber filaments are firstly prepared, then the components are printed by FDM or other methods. The average tensile strength of the nylon-based component is more than 200 MPa. Companies such as Markforged and Arevo Labs have commercialized the 3D printing equipment/platform for the continuous fiber reinforced plastics.

Hybrid Laminate

Because of their high specific stiffness and strength, fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) are preferred lightweight materials. Recent developments show a growing industrial interest in the integration of thermoplastic FRP in complex structures for high volumes. However, there are still shortcomings for these materials concerning the insufficient energy absorption in case of failure and the limited opportunities available for the assembly with other components. Improvements in the crash performance can be achieved for instance with the selective reinforcement of the FRP structure with ductile metallic inserts. The present study shows the interlaminar shear strength and scanning electron microscope (SEM) samples of a novel load optimized hybrid composite consisting of a continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic matrix, in which a metal core is integrated.

Fiber Reinforced Plastics

The present paper describes development of active laminates and composites proposed by Asanuma. The active laminates were successfully made by hot-pressing of an aluminum plate as a high CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) material, a unidirectional CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) prepreg as a low CTE material and an electric resistance heater, and a KFRP (Kevlar Fiber Reinforced Plastics) prepreg as a low CTE material and an insulator between them. Curvature of the active laminate linearly changes only in the fiber direction as a function of temperature, and it was made into complicated forms and their actuation performances were successfully demonstrated. As a high temperature type active laminate, three types of SiC/Al composites, that is, a laminate of continuous-fiber layer and unreinforced one, that of discontinuous-fiber layer and unreinforced one, and that of continuous-fiber layer and discontinuous-fiber one were fabricated, and it became clear that all of the composites curve unidirectionally in the fiber direction, and the curvatures reproducibly change during thermal cycles between room temperature and 813 K. Tensile strength of the combination type is higher than that of the continuous-fiber type, and its curvature exists between the continuous-fiber type and the discontinuous-fiber type.

Fiber Reinforced Plastics

The integration of continuous fiber-reinforced structures into short or long fiber-reinforced plastics allows a significant increase in stiffness and strength. In order to make the best possible use of the high stiffness and strength of continuous fiber-reinforcements, they must be placed in the direction of load in the most stressed areas. A frequently used tool for identifying the most heavily loaded areas is topology optimization. Commercial topology optimization programs usually do not take into account the material properties associated with continuous fiber-reinforced hybrid structures. The anisotropy of the reinforcing material and the stiffness of the base material surrounding the reinforcement are not considered during topology optimization, but only in subsequent steps. Therefore in this publication, existing optimization methods for hybrid and anisotropic materials are combined to a new approach, which takes into account both the anisotropy of the continuous fiber-reinforcement and the stiffness of the base material. The results of the example calculations not only show an increased stiffness at the same material input but also a simplification of the resulting reinforcement structures, which allows more economical manufacturing.
