Initial Research on Core Material Modeling for Testing High Temperature and Wind Mixtures in Aluminum Composite Panels

Article Preview

Abstract:

An aluminum composite panel (ACP) is a flat panel composed of stiff, sturdy, yet relatively light aluminum plates or sheets. A core material, often composed of polyethylene (PE) and polyurethane (PU), is sandwiched between the two plates. It is imperative to develop alternatives to these two fundamental materials because they are combustible and cannot withstand high temperatures or heat. It can withstand extreme temperatures and flames. Using Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) and PolyTetraFluoroEthylene (PTFE)/Teflon, the research aims to model core material changes that will subsequently be compared with the ACP core from Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE). In order to model temperature variation input (150°C, 200°C, and 250°C) and wind onslaught for wind speeds of 13.8 m/s (strong), 16 m/s (hazardous), and 33 m/s (storm), Ansys 2024 R2 software is utilized. According to the data, ACP with PEEK core material softens at 167.02°C and is better resistant to temperatures up to 250°C. Compared to PTFE/Teflon and LDPE core materials, this one is more resistant to high temperatures. However, the core material from PTFE/Teflon is subject to a powerful storm wind onslaught, with a maximum stress of 1010.12 Pa, which is more than that of PTFE/Teflon, let alone LDPE.
