Composite Push Rod For Automobiles
•Properties
Collin. MSE 556. Spring, 2006
High compressive and tensile strength along the
axial direction; (secondary) stiff with respect to
torsion, bending and shear; temperature
resistance; chemical resistance to lubricants and
fuel gases
•Structure
Composite push rods are lighter
weight replacements for metallic
push rods in use between a cam
shaft and a valve rocker in internal
combustion engines. These
composite push rods are
constructed of a bar that is made of
carbon fiber. These composite push,
bars generally have flat ends to
which rounded metal end fittings are
bonded, usually by some type of
epoxy or adhesive. The composite
push rod then attaches to the cam
shaft and valve rocker via these
rounded metal end fittings.
cme/mse 556 composite overview

•Performance
Failure mechanisms: overloading
(tensile/compressive), torsion, off axis loading,
fatigue, crack growth/delamination less of a
concern
•Processing
In order to construct the composite push rod, the bar is first constructed
and then the ends are bonded. The bar is constructed of a plurality of
layers of sheets of epoxy impregnated, longitudinally oriented fiber
material that are wrapped around a removable mandrel. The sheets of
longitudinally oriented fiber material form the inner portion of the push
bar and a single outside sheet of epoxy impregnated, woven fiber
material that is wrapped around the sheets of longitudinally oriented fiber
material forms the outside portion of the bar. The sheets of fiber material
are comprised on a fiber, such as carbon, Kevlar, or glass, and the fiber
material is resin impregnated with a thermosetting, high temperature,
toughened epoxy. Once all of the layers of fiber material are wrapped
together, they are heated and compressed to thermo-set the layers into a
single composite bar. The mandrel is then removed, leaving a central
opening in the bar where the mandrel was located.
The ends of the composite bar are then cut to the proper shape and the
mating surfaces of the metal end fittings are bonded to the ends of the
composite bar via epoxy, thereby completing construction of the
composite push rod.

Performance
Processing
1. The process begins with the mixing of basic rubbers with process oils, carbon
black, pigments, antioxidants, accelerators and other additives, each of which
contributes certain properties to the compound. These ingredients are mixed in
giant blenders called Banbury machines operating under tremendous heat and
pressure. They blend the many ingredients together into a hot, black gummy
compound that will be milled again and again.
2. This compound is fed into mills which feed the rubber between massive pairs of
rollers,feeding, mixing and blending to prepare the different compounds for the
feed mills, where they are slit into strips and carried by conveyor belts to become
sidewalls, treads or other parts of the tire.
Still another kind of rubber coats the fabric that will be used to make up the tire's
body. Many kinds of fabrics are used: polyester, rayon or nylon.
3. Another component, shaped like a hoop, is called a bead. It has high-tensile
steel wire forming its backbone, which will fit against the vehicle's wheel rim. The
strands are aligned into a ribbon coated with rubber for adhesion, then wound into
loops that are then wrapped together to secure them until they are assembled with
the rest of the tire.
Radial tires are built on one or two tire machines. The tire starts with a double
layer of synthetic gum rubber called an innerliner that will seal in air and make the
tire tubeless.
4. Next come two layers of ply fabric, the cords. Two strips called apexes stiffen
the area just above the bead. Next, a pair of chafer strips is added, so called
because they resist chafing from the wheel rim when mounted on a car.
The tire building machine pre-shapes radial tires into a form very close to their
final dimension to make sure the many components are in proper position before
the tire goes into the mold.
5. Now the tire builder adds the steel belts that resist punctures and hold the tread
firmly against the road. The tread is the last part to go on the tire. After automatic
rollers press all the parts firmly together, the radial tire, now called a green tire, is
ready for inspection and curing.
6. The curing press is where tires get their final shape and tread pattern. Hot
molds like giant waffle irons shape and vulcanize the tire. The molds are engraved
with the tread pattern, the sidewall markings of the manufacturer and those
required by law.
Tires are cured at over 300 degrees for 12 to 25 minutes, depending on their size.
As the press swings open, the tires are popped from their molds onto a long
conveyor that carries them to final finish and inspection.
**This is traditional technique by goodyear, new automated processes are used by
pirelli.overview
cme/mse 556 composite
14
Optimal performance is achieved by proper use and
maintenance. Understanding the labeling or sidewall
markings is key. Example:
P215/65R15 89H
P: passenger, vs. LT that has higher ply ratings
215: width
65: aspect ratio
R: radial, vs. belted construction or diagonal construction
15: diameter of wheel
89: load index--indicates the max weight each tire can
support
H: speed rating—measurement of top safe speed the tire
can carry a load under specified conditions. (worst to best:
Q,S,T,U,H,V,Z,W,Y) *a higher rated tire will give better
traction and improved steering response at 50 mph.
Also consider:
-Max. cold inflation (in psi) see images below!**very
important
-Load limit (redundant to load index)
-treadware grading--how long the tread will last
-traction grading—indicates tires ability to stop in a straight
line on wet pavement
-temp grading—min speed a tire will not fail at high temp.

Hardness (Shore A,D) - measures resistance to indentation. A "soft" elastomer & D for
"harder" materials.
Compression Modulus (psi) - force required to achieve a specific deflection, typically
50% deflection, predicts a material's rigidity or toughness.
Tear Strength (pli) - measures the resistance to growth of a nick or cut when tension is
applied to a test specimen, critical in predicting work life
Tensile Strength (psi) - ultimate strength of a material when enough force is applied to
cause it to break, with elongation and modulus, tensile can predict a material's toughness.
Ultimate Elongation (%) - percent of the original length of the sample measured at point
of rupture.
300% Modulus (psi) - stress required to produce 300% elongation.
Bayshore Rebound (%) - resilience of a material. ratio of returned energy to impressed
energy. predicts rolling resistance.
Compression Set (%) - measures the deformation remaining in an elastomer after
removal of the deforming force. In combination with rebound, set values predict an
elastomer's

Structure
Performance
*Riveted linings provide superior performance, but good
quality bonded linings are perfectly adequate.
*Organic and non-metallic asbestos compound brakes are
quiet, easy on rotors and provide good feel. But this comes
at the expense of high temperature operation.
*In most cases, these linings will wear somewhat faster than
metallic compound pads, so you will usually replace them
more often. But, when using these pads, rotors tend to last
longer.
*The higher the metallic content, the better the friction
material will resist heat.
Processing
The pad or shoe is composed of a metal backing plate and a
Casting metal backing plate
friction lining.
Electric Infrared ovens used
Friction materials vary between manufacturers and type of
Shoe Prep
pad: asbestos, organic, semi-metallic, metallic.
Washing, Delining ,Shot Blasting, return of shoes to OE
Exotic materials are also used in brake linings, among which
specs, relining, riveting
are Kevlar® and carbon compounds.
Phenolic polymer matrix composites are used as brake
pad/shoe materials. As a new disc/drum materials,
aluminimum metal matrix composites (Al MMCs) are
attractive for their lightweight (three times lighter than cast
iron) properties, higher thermal conductivity, specific heat,
superior mechanical properties
and higher wear
resistance

graphite/epoxy composite (Hercules

In general, matrix viscosity
increases with temperature
until the polymer cures to
the gel state. Above this
temperature, local chain
motion is restrained by
crosslinks, and additional
curing for higher
crosslinking can require
long “post-cure” times.
