Fabrication of Knitted Glass Fibre Fabric Reinforced Thermoplastic Composite Laminates

Mechanical and Impact Properties of Untreated Jute Fabric Reinforced Polyester Laminates Compared with Different E- Glass Fibre Reinforced Laminates

In recent years, the improvement of properties of natural fibre reinforced laminates over the pure polymeric matrix has been thoroughly investigated with the aim of providing a possible replacement of E-glass fibre reinforced composites for some large-volume applications. In the present study, the properties of a jute/polyester laminate are compared with those yielded by two E-glass fibre woven...

Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete

Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete is recent introduction in the field of concrete technology. The present day world is witnessing the construction of very challenging and difficult Civil Engineering Structures. Concrete being the most important and widely used material is called upon to possess very high strength and sufficient workability properties. Concrete the most widely used consrtuction ma...

Experimental Identification of Fatigue Damage Model for Short Glass Fibre Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites

A polycyclic fatigue damage model for short glass fibre reinforced thermoplastics is developed and implemented into ABAQUS FE code using UMAT subroutine. The MNL model is introduced here in terms of damage rates: ( ) ) ( 2 0 1 2 0 2 1 2 1 1 ) ( ) ( N ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij e E E N d d λ β ε γ ε β β α − −       +       + = ∂ ∂ = & (1) Where N is the number of cycles. αij, β...

Recycling of Glass Fibre Reinforced Aluminium Laminates and Silicon Removal from Aerospace Al Alloy

Proefschrift ter verkrijging van de graad van doctor aan de Technische Universiteit Delft; op gezag van de Rector Magnificus prof. The subproject is aimed at exploring a solution for impurity elements (Fe and Si) removal from industry pure Al and the recycled aerospace aluminium alloys due to their harmful influence on the fracture toughness of Al alloys. The objective of my research is to find...
