Abstract

High quality material production has been among the work of many researchers in recent years. These materials, which are obtained mostly by the production of composite materials, enable the production of lighter, more durable and less costly products. Increasing environmental pollution in recent years, protection of natural resources and ensuring recycling have increased the importance of wood plastic composite material production. In this study, wood plastic composite material was obtained by using ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) plastic material and six different fruit shell powders (walnut, pistachio, peanut, almond, hazelnut and apricot shell). The mechanical properties of the obtained composite material were determined and its effect on the I type snap-fits was analyzed in ANSYS software. When the resulting composite material's mechanical properties were tested, it was found that the density and tensile strength decreased while the Vicat softening point value and melt flow rate increased. In the analysis performed using the ANSYS software, it was found that the composite I type snap-fit design of the same size can resist 12.6% N less force when the material is subjected to its maximum values when it achieves the elongation at break value.

Meyve Kabuğu tozları Takviyeli Ahşap Plastik Kompozit (APK) Malzemelerin Mekanik Özelliklerinin Belirlenmesi ve I-Tipi Snap-Fit Modeli için Örnek Çalışma

Abstract

Kaliteli malzeme üretimi son yıllarda birçok araştırmacının çalışmaları arasında yer almaktadır. Daha çok kompozit malzemelerin üretimi ile elde edilen bu malzemeler daha hafif, daha dayanıklı ve daha az maliyetli ürünlerin üretilmesini sağlar. Son yıllarda artan çevre kirliliği, doğal kaynakların korunması ve geri dönüşümün sağlanması ahşap plastik kompozit malzeme üretiminin önemini artırmıştır. Bu çalışmada ABS (Akrilonitril bütadien stiren) plastik malzeme ve altı farklı ağaç malzeme (ceviz, antep fıstığı, fıstık, badem, fındık ve kayısı kabuğu) kullanılarak ahşap plastik kompozit malzeme elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen kompozit malzemenin mekanik özellikleri belirlenmiş ve I tipi snap-fit bağlantılara etkisi ANSYS yazılımında analiz edilmiştir. Mekanik özellikler incelendiğinde elde edilien kompozit malzeme yoğunluğunun, çekme mukavemetinin azaldığı buna karşın eriyik akış hızının ve Vicat erime noktası değerinin arttığı gözlemlenmiştir. ANSYS yazılımında yapılan analizde malzemenin kopma uzaması değerine ulaştığında alabileceği maksimum değerler incelendiğinde, aynı boyuttaki kompozit I tipi geçmeli tasarımın %12,6 N daha az kuvvete dayanabileceği gözlemlenmiştir.
