COMPOSITE MATERIALS
• What are composite materials? Two or more materials bound together
• Example from civil engineering: Concrete reinforced with steel bars
Reinforced concrete wall

COMPOSITE MATERIALS
• Fiber reinforced composite materials
Reinforcement: Main load carrying memberBinding material:transfers load to fibers, keeps the fiber together

• A Fiber (reinforcement) may be defined as an elongated stringy man-made material.
• A polymer (matrix) is a large molecule consisting of repeating units connected by covalent chemical bonds.
• Once the polymer is combined with the fibers, the polymerization process must take place in order to obtain a solid structural composite material.
• Another critical issue is the fiber-matrix bonding. When the composite material is loaded, both fibers and matrix must be strongly bonded so that they work as a solid rigid.

SANDWICH CONSTRUCTION• When loads are applied to any beam, such as wing spar most stress occurs at the outer surfaces.
• Therefore, SANDWICH structure is commonly used in composite construction to increase the thickness without significant weight penalty
Core material:HoneycombBalsa woodFoam etc.
Valid for honeycomb cores

Typical SANDWICH structure
Core material: Honeycomb, wood, foam etc.
Upper and lower layers:Composite material composed of suitable fiber + matrix combination
Typical fiber materials:E-Glass: Standard fiber glass; workhorse of composites, moderate strength, good bonding with epoxy, cheap
Kevlar: Organic fibers, high impact resistance, high strength, difficult to work, poor bonding with epoxy, moderate prize
Carbon: 93-95% carbon content, very high strength and fatigue resistance, excellent bonding with epoxy, expensive
Bonding material between layers: Epoxy resin

Typical resin(matrix) materials:
Epoxy: Excellent adhesion to fibers, highest strength, low shrinkage, will bond to dissimilar or already cured materials
Vinly ester: Moderate strength, more resistant to degradation from water/moisture
Polyester: Low strength , fast curing times, exhibit shrinkage, low weathering resistance, cheapest (non adequate for advanced composites: poor adhesion to carbon and Kevlar)

COMPOSITE MANUFACTURING
VACUUM BAGGING
•Release agent: facilitates the extraction of the part.
•Peel ply: leaves the part surface apt to be bonded or painted.
•Prepreg.
•Release film: prevents the resin to reach the bleeder fabric but not the volatiles.
•Bleeder fabric: takes out the excess of resin in order to get the desired fiber fraction.
•Breather fabric: makes the vacuum uniform along the part.
•Vacuum bag/seal: seals the cavity to be vacuumed.
