For the analysis of bending of a thin rod made of fiber composite, the generalized Euler elastic equation is used, taking into account different resistance of the material to tension and compression, the influence of transverse shear, elongation of the axis and independent rotations of the reinforcing elements relative to the matrix. Based on Newton’s method, a computational algorithm has been developed for solving the static bending problem. A method for determining phenomenological parameters of the composite has been implemented, including photographing the bending state of the rod under the action of a system of forces and couple forces, digital processing of the photography and solving the inverse coefficient problem. The method was validated by comparing the results of computations with a laboratory physical experiment. It is shown that the moduli of elasticity in tension and compression of carbon fiber composite used in the experiment, essentially differ, and that the use of equal moduli in determining bending stiffness results in a significant error in the deflection calculations
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
