摘要
This article focuses on the computational analysis of sandwich composite materials based on polypropylene, polyester, glass, and cotton fibers. In the automotive components prepared from these fiber materials, the various components are used in different proportions. Through the manufacturing process, isotropic materials become somewhat anisotropic. Part of this article is aimed at obtaining input values of material characteristics for calculations using finite element analysis (FEM) and the comparison of experimental results with FEM-based material models created using the Digimat 2023.1 software. This article analyzes the modeling of two-phase as well as multiphase composite materials. This work focuses on calculations using FEM according to the test defined in the PR375 standard for loading the finished product in the luggage compartment of a car. The defined methodology enables the application of the FEM-based calculation directly to the product design in the initial phase of research. The construction and production of expensive prototypes and the subsequent production of automotive parts is replaced by computer-based simulation. This procedure makes it possible to simulate several optimization cycles over a relatively shorter time. From the results of computational simulations, it is clear that materials based on PP/PET/glass fibers show a much higher modulus of elasticity than materials created using cotton, i.e., materials of the PP/PET/cotton type. In order to achieve a high strength and stiffness, it is, therefore, appropriate to use glass fibers in the composite materials used for such applications.
