MODELING FRICTION IN FIBER-REINFORCED POLYMER COMPOSITES: A FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS WITH A RIGID PARABOLIC CYLINDER

Аннотация

This study employs finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate sliding contact and investigate the frictional behavior between fiber-reinforced polymer composites and a rigid parabolic cylinder. Fiber-reinforced composites are widely used in engineering applications due to their exceptional mechanical properties. Understanding the frictional interactions in such materials is crucial for optimizing performance and durability. The FEA model accounts for material properties, contact conditions, and loading parameters to provide insights into the frictional response. Results from this analysis contribute to the advancement of materials engineering and manufacturing processes, particularly in scenarios where composite materials encounter sliding contact.
