Investigation of the Mechanical Response of a Fabric-Reinforced Composite Beam with a T-Shaped Profile during a Three-Point Bending Test by Employing FEM

Abstract

In this study, three-point bending tests were utilised in order to evaluate the mechanistic behaviour of the composite structure. Investigation and analysis have both made use of profiles in the form of a T for their respective aims. In this particular study, the modelling and meshing of geometry was carried out with the assistance of Ansys Software. The normal stress was the key indication that was utilised in the convergency approach. This indicator was employed to bring the outputs of the mesh and the predictions closer together. One of the tools that is used for simulating static structures was put to use so that the interaction of the composite structure with its surroundings could be modelled in a mechanical way. The normal stress and consequent of the whole deformation as a result of the applied static load have been utilised to carry out the numerical calculations, and the results have been evaluated and interpreted. This is because the normal stress and consequent of the total deformation as a result of the imposed static load. At a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, the calculations show that the magnitude of the stress induced by the 200 N can reach a maximum of 0.4 MPa. It was discovered that this is really the situation. The total deformation of the entire body has a value of 0.004 millimetres over its entirety. This value accounts for the entirety of the deformation. The output of the numerical findings indicated, at the conclusion of the study, that the composite construction had the potential to resist because of the applied static force.
