Mechanical properties of composite material laminates reinforced by woven and non-woven glass fibers

The purpose of this work is to study the mechanical characteristics in 3-point bending and in traction; static; and the impact behavior of three specimens of laminates made of glass fiber and polyester resin non-woven and woven, with the aim of using them in the repair of boat hulls and enhancing their value in the naval industry. Three types of laminates were developed by contact molding. These different specimens of laminates made of woven, non-woven and combined glass fiber (woven and non-woven) were subjected to mechanical tests (traction and 3-point bending). Analysis of the results of the tests carried out on these three types of laminate shows that one specimen stands out and gives higher mechanical performance than the othertwo.ISSN:2267-124

Investigation of composite materials supported by carbon fiber fabric (TFC) in pre-cracked concrete beams

This work is a commitment to breaking down the conduct of pillars that strengthened by composite materials. The investigation was helped out through an exploratory and logical examination on eleven strengthened concrete and fortified solid components underneath and decently strengthened, pre-split and afterward strengthened utilizing nearby carbon-fiber texture utilizing epoxy pitches. So as to consider the impact of the underlying splitting condition on the conduct, one of the bars was strengthened without being broken ahead of time and contrasted with a pre-broken and fortified bundle and afterward to another stacked in any event, when broken without breaking or hardening. In this examination, four beams were pre-broken and reinforced in the all-inclusive part and as an afterthought part with U-formed pieces of various measurements to keep away from division on one side and the investigation of rebuilding of the compound at the impact of shear then again. At long last, a similar report was directed between the last estimated exploratory obstruction and that registered by expository models.ISSN:1742-6588ISSN:1742-659

Thermal characterization of composite material plates ceramic/metal FGM

The sudden change in material properties across the interface between various materials can cause solid interlayer focuses on that lead to boundary, breaking, and other harm instruments. To address these inadequacies, Functional Gradation Materials have been proposed, through which the properties of the materials are reliably unique. The point of this article is to dissect the mechanical warm twisting conduct of thick artistic/metal sheets. This work presents a layout that utilizes the new cross-over shear usefulness. The mathematical outcomes got through the current investigation are introduced and contrasted and those accessible in the writing. It very well may be inferred that this hypothesis is viable and straightforward for static plate investigation in warm conditions.ISSN:1742-6588ISSN:1742-659

Influence of wave effect on fiber stress limit under tensile tests of composite material

Introduction. The response of composite materials to the impact of a certain kind of load is difficult to predict, therefore, research in this area has often been neglected. The work objective was to study the influence of the wave effect on the tensile strength of polymer composites of a fibrous structure.Materials and Methods. In the tests, samples of multilayer materials of various thicknesses with continuous, long and short fibers that form a fabric, as well as a layered structure, were used. The number of layers corresponds to the resistance to the applied loads. Fibers of glass, carbon, kevlar, or their combinations were used. Isotropic materials – epoxide, polyester and vinyl ether – were used as binders.Research Results. The tensile test results of homogeneous samples and samples of fibrous structure are obtained. In this case, the values of fiber angle varied. The stability of their intercomparison test results is established. The dependence of the maximum tensile stresses σmax, MPa, (on the vertical axis) on the fiber angle θmax is obtained. These stresses for a fibreless material amounted to 250 MPa. Normal and tangential stresses acting perpendicular to the fibers, as well as shear stresses of the layered material, are calculated. As follows from the analysis of the dependences for the significant tensile stresses and from the study on refraction in the section of the sample damage, it was established that the shear stress τху was the cause of the fracture. Using an equation providing the compensation for the angle of inclination θ = 45, it was determined that the shear stress of the polyester is τху = 35 MPa. This was the stress that caused subsequently the destruction of the samples.Discussion and Conclusions. The tensile stresses of the composite material decrease with increasing the fiber angle in certain areas. The destruction of all fiber samples occurred when the shear stress reached a value approximately equal to the shear stress at which the destruction of samples made only from a binder material happened. When the specimen broke, the fracture mode had the form similar to the shear failure; besides, at the moment of fracture, the object having a rectangular shape, being deformed at an angle, took the form of a parallelogram

The Effect of Warp Tension on the Colour of Jacquard Fabric Made with Different Weaves Structures

The aims of this paper is to demonstrate the effect of warp tension on fabric colour for several types of weaves structures, and found a relationship between them. The image analyse technique used to determine the proportion of yarns colour appearance, the advantage of this techniques is the rapidity and reliability. The woven fabric samples are consisting of a polyester warp yarn with continuous filaments and density of 33 end/cm, a polypropylene weft yarn with a density of 24 pick/cm, and the warp tension ranged between 12-22 cN/tex. The experimental results demonstrated the effect of the warp tension on the colour of fabric, and this effect is related to several factors, where the large proportion of warp appearance leads to larger effect on fabric colour. The difference in the value of colour differences ΔEcmc is larger is in the range 16 to 20 cN/tex of warp tension. Using statistical methods, a mathematical model to calculate the amount of the colour difference ΔEcmc caused by the change in warp tension had been proposed
