Abstract
In this work, the effect of particle type and distribution on the bending behavior of glass particle reinforced epoxy composite beams are studied analytically. Euler Bernoulli and Timoshenko Beam deflection results are compared with numerical deflections obtained by Fem Analysis. Bending analysis of particle reinforced composites are studied for graded distribution bottom to top. The composite elastic modulus variation with thickness is found according to micro-CT based modeling for different particle types and graded distribution. The effects of the graded distribution of particles are considered by functionally graded beam equation formulations. Local stress distribution along thickness is found by using finite element analysis. The relation between the stress results and particle type is discussed at a macro scale.
