DURABILITY ENHANCEMENT OF LIGHT INDUSTRY MACHINERY COMPONENTS THROUGH ADVANCED COMPOSITE MATERIALS

This research investigates the mechanical and tribological performance of four distinct types of composite materials under controlled deformation and operational conditions. Key properties such as tensile stress resistance, elastic recovery, thermal stability, and wear rate were systematically measured and analyzed. Using a combination of theoretical modeling, stress-strain graphical interpretation, and empirical observations through microscopic examination, the study offers a comparative evaluation across different loading configurations. The results indicate that specific composite variants—especially those reinforced with fibers or polymer matrices—exhibited exceptional durability, resistance to dynamic stress, and adaptability to high-speed and high-temperature industrial environments. Furthermore, the findings underscore the potential of advanced composite solutions to replace traditional metallic materials, significantly extending the operational life of critical components in light industry machinery. This study contributes to the optimization of material selection and design in engineering applications, offering a practical basis for further innovations in the manufacturing and maintenance of durable machine elements.
