Investigation of stresses in a Kevlar (491PR-286) material disc by the Chebyshev pseudospectral method
Abstract
In this study, a composite disc with Kevlar (491PR-286) material was modeled. Kevlar consists of very strong fibers of very light carbon origin. That is why they are used quite often in unmanned aerial vehicles and spacecraft. The disc has been subjected to thermal stress under a linearly increasing temperature distribution. The temperature limit conditions were applied as 25 °C, 50 °C, 75 °C, 100 °C, and 150 °C. The obtained findings were determined using a computer program, the psedudospectral Chebyshev method, and analytically in three different ways. The main difference between this study and other studies is that it investigates the thermal stresses occurring in circular discs using different methods. The results obtained are compared fairly among themselves and presented with graphs. It was determined that tangential stresses were higher than radial stresses at the studied temperature values. In the analytical study conducted, the radial stresses on the inner and outer surfaces of the disc were determined to be zero for the boundary conditions. Under the increasing temperature distribution from the inner surface to the outer surface, tangential stresses occurred as tensile stress on the inner part of the disc and compressive stress on the outer part. Under the decreasing temperature distribution from the inner surface to the outer surface, tangential stresses are pressed on the inner part of the disc, resulting in a tensile stress on the outer part. It is observed that with increasing temperature, there is an increase in radial and tangential stress values. At the end of the study, it was concluded that Kevlar (491PR-286) material discs can be used at high temperatures.
