AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF CIRCULAR DISK SHAPE OF SMC
Preview AbstractAn experimental study on material characterization of SMC (Sheet Molding Compounds) compression molded parts was carried out by 3-point bending tests and creep tests. And computer simulation of optimum condition of SMC design was carried out by finite element analysis. The thicknesses of SMC specimen were 6.5, 7, 7.5 and 8mm and the angles of inclination were 0°, 2.5°, 5°, 7.5° and 10°. After static load test, the stress of SMC was different at the each condition. The influence of angles of inclination was important. The maximum stress occurred at 0°. But the more angle of inclination was big, the more maximum stress was small. The decrement was big at the range of 0° to 2.5°. The influence of thicknesses also was important. The more thickness was large, the more maximum stress was small.
