Using genetic algorithm for studying the effect of Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) polymer matrix on composites materials interface based on carbon, glass and aramid fibers for engineering and telecommunication applications

PMMA Polymethyl methacrylate polymer remains one among the well-known polymers used for POFs (Optical fibers) purposes. The optical fibers have paid a special attention to several recent researches, since they have shown attractive mechanical, electrical, and sensitive properties that bargain better insights, especially for sensing applications; this is mainly due to their lower young modulus for different studied constraints. Our study focuses on performing a comparative study of the mechanical properties obtained by reinforcing the PMMA polymer matrix with respectively the carbon, glass, and the aramid fiber using genetic algorithm. The different mechanical stresses applied to the studied materials generate a significant degradation at the interface for the glass/PMMA and aramid/PMMA composites which was confirmed by Mustafa Ertekin, and a slight lowering for the carbon/PMMA composite which has been confirmed by various recent studies highlighted the positive impact brought by the carbon fiber to perform better reinforcements for different structures and devices. The results found are in good agreement between the numerical simulation and the real behavior of the three materials. This comparative study can be very useful for a wide range of engineering and telecommunications applications, such as electromagnetic shielding of electronic devices (EMI), the manufacture of telecommunications towers and the design of the new trend of telecommunications antennas.
