Bending Fatigue Resistance of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Acrylic Resin

Damage Detection of Carbon Fiber-reinforced Concrete Under Bending Test

Retentive forces and fatigue resistance of thermoplastic resin clasps.

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate the retentive force of clasps made from three thermoplastic resins and cobalt-chromium (CoCr) alloy by the insertion/removal test simulating 10 years use. METHODS On standardized premolar metal crowns 112 clasps were fabricated, including 16 CoCr (1.0 mm thick) clasps and 32 clasps (1.0 or 1.5 mm thick) from each of the following thermopl...

Properties of agave fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites

Biocomposites have attracted a great deal of interest in research and industry sectors because they are typically lightweight, sustainable, environmentally friendly, and their thermomechanical properties can be designed to fit specific applications by tuning of their composition. In this study, mechanical properties of natural-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite films were explored. Thermo...

Overview of Flax Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites

Flax fibres are oftenly used for reinforcing thermoplastic to manufacture biocomposite materials exhibiting numerous advantages such as high mechanical properties, low density and biodegradability. The mechanical properties of a biocomposite material depends on the nature and orientation of the fibres, the nature of the matrix and mainly on the adhesion between fiber and the polymer matrix. The...

A simplified numerical simulation method of bending properties for glass fiber cloth reinforced denture base resin.

The purpose of this study was to propose a new numerical modeling of the glass fiber cloth reinforced denture base resin (GFRP). The proposed model is constructed with an isotropic shell, beam and orthotropic shell elements representing the outmost resin, interlaminar resin and glass fiber cloth, respectively. The proposed model was applied to the failure progress analysis under three-point ben...
