Experimental and computational structural cum fatigue data investigations on various lightweight materials under tensile load

Lightweight materials are always important elements in Structural Engineering. Thus the mechanical behaviour based investigations on lightweight materials are very important one, which provides a unique platform for the implementation in Structural Engineering depended real-time applications. This work involves the mechanical behaviour explorations on various advanced composite materials under the focused applied tensile load through advanced Finite Element Analysis [FEA]. The base computational model is developed as per the rules and regulations of ASTM standard. The tensile test is estimated in Universal Testing Machine and thereafter the common external applied load was obtained for these comparative investigations. The test specimen is computationally constructed in ANSYS Composite Pre- processor Tool. The selection factors of this work such as deformation, persuaded equivalent stresses, and generated strain energies are computed in ACP Post-Processor Tool. Additionally, the fatigue life under tensile load is estimated and thereafter the S-N curve is created for GFRP composite material. The extracted S-N outcome is imposed as input to the computational fatigue analysis and thus the comprehensive fatigue analysis are computed various lightweight materials. Finally, the suitable composite family and the exact composite are suggested to perfectly resist for normal load based real-time applications under all kind of environments.
