Basic Mixing and Mechanical Tests on High Ductile Fiber Reinforced Cementless Composites

Acoustic Emission Activity in Ductile Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites

This study was performed in the framework of a research program focused in the development of high tenacity polypropylene (PP) fibres for the reinforcement of cementitious composites. Precedent reports have demonstrated how micromechanical modelling was used to attain significant improvements with respect to the macroscopic properties of cementitious composites. These improvements have been bas...

Mechanical Properties of SiC Fiber- Reinforced Reaction-Bonded Si3N4 Composites

Mechanical properties of woven glass fiber-reinforced composites.

The aim of this investigation was to measure the flexural and compressive strengths and the corresponding moduli of cylindrical composite specimens reinforced with woven glass fiber. Test specimens were made by light-curing urethane dimethacrylate oligomer with woven glass fiber of 0.18-mm standard thickness. Tests were conducted using four reinforcement methods and two specimen diameters. Flex...

MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF RANDOMLY DISTRIBUTED SHORT BANANA FIBER REINFORCED EPOXY COMPOSITES

Short banana fiber reinforced composites have been prepared in laboratory to determine mechanical properties. It has been observed that as soon as the percentage of the banana fiber increases slightly there is a tremendous increase in ultimate tensile strength, % of strain and young modulus of elasticity. Reinforcement of banana fibers in epoxy resin increases stiffness and decreases damping pr...

Basic Mechanical Properties of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Recycled Aggregate Concrete

In order to study the basic mechanical properties of basalt fiber reinforced recycled aggregate concrete, the concrete mix ratio, the length and the volume mixing ratio of chopped basalt fiber yarn are designed for changing factors. A total of 324 specimens have been completed for this investigation. The compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, elastic modulus and axial compressive str...
