The research of the parameters of a vibration machine for composite materials compaction

Based on the analysis of the conventional methods for composite materials compaction, the authors propose a vibration machine made as a form without bottom with a horizontal oscillation vibro-exciter mounted on its end face. To determine the rational parameters of the vibration machine we researched the “vibration form – composite medium” dynamic system wherein composite medium is represented in the form of a system with distributed parameters. This system takes into account the resilient, viscous, inertia and power properties of the compacted composite material. We formulated a partial differential equation describing the variation of stresses in the compacted medium depending on the dynamic module of resilient deformation, the coefficient of dynamic viscosity, the coefficient of non-resilient resistance and the compacted medium inertia in the functional dependence on the composite material density and relative deformation. We formulated an oscillation wave equation describing the propagation of the viscous-resilient-plastic waves of deformation in the compacted composite material. The solution of the oscillation wave equation resulted in the formulation of the law of the oscillation of the form and the compacted material. We determined the stresses occurring in the composite material. We obtained the relations for the determination of the vibration machine basic parameters depending on the physical and mathematical characteristics of the compacted composite material
