A Study on the Structural Behavior of Thermoplastic Polyketone Composites Reinforced with Carbon Fiber
Abstract
This study presents an analytical investigation into the distribution of elastic stresses in rotating cylinders made of car-bon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polyketone composites. The research primarily focuses on understanding the rela-tionship between temperature gradients and stress development in thermomechanically loaded rotating cylinders. The analysis is conducted under plane strain assumptions, and the Von Mises yield criterion is employed as the failure ref-erence. Mathematical modeling was carried out to evaluate the stress behavior, and the resulting data were visualized through graphical representations. The findings indicate that the carbon fiber-reinforced polyketone composite cylin-ders experience relatively high stress concentrations due to their enhanced stiffness and load-bearing capacity. Howev-er, these stress levels remain within acceptable limits for structural integrity. It is also observed that the stress distribu-tion is significantly influenced by the applied temperature profile and geometric parameters. Moreover, the internal pressure within the cylinders was found to vary inversely with the selected material grading parameter.Due to their su-perior mechanical performance and precise controllability, rotating cylinders made from advanced composite materi-als find applications in a wide range of engineering fields. Each application requires careful selection of material prop-erties, geometrical dimensions, and surface characteristics. The results of this study suggest that carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polyketone composites offer promising potential for future technologies involving high-performance rotating components.
