Progress Report of the Sponsored Project (2023-24)
After researching about the topic domain, a dataset is being generated and refined, that comprises of Stress-Strain relationship of the thermoplastic polymers, and the corresponding Standard force values that have been applied to the manufactured samples to study their deformation behaviour. The dataset also contains graphs for each set of density, polymer-carbon fiber ratio values that have been performed on given test speeds of the deformation of fibers.
Using the dataset, we are planning to generate a model, that would take as input the given constants given above, and would generate 3 specific Standard force data points for them, corresponding to each deformation behaviour. The first output point will tell us the value of the standard force at which the fiber orientations inside the polymer-fiber composite starts to deform by straightening up from their cylindrical shapes. The second point will give us the standard force value at which the internal fibers inside the composite have been completely broken, and the third point will give us the fracture point of the sample, i.e, the point at which the sample is completely broken or fractured into two parts.
