Fatigue Crack Propagation in Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon 6

Fatigue analysis of glass fiber reinforced composites

Some structure materials can match the flexibility and effectiveness of glass fiber Reinforced plastic, commonly called GFRP for short or simply fiberglass. Even it is very high strength, light weight, strong, and completely waterproof, it can be molded into free form shapes such as aerospace structures, and then also it has its endurance limits. Endurance limit means loss of strength and stiff...

Woven Glass Fiber-Reinforced

ment methods and two spec/imen diameters. Flexural strength and modulus of woven glass fiber-reinforced specimens werc significanLly greater than those without woven glass fiber (p<O.OD, Likewise, comprossive strength of reinforced specimens was signifieantly greater than those without woven glass fiber (p<O.Ol), except for specimens rcjnforced with woven glass fiber oriented at a tilt directio...

Experimental investigation on the mechanical properties of glass fiber reinforced nylon

In this study, the influence of different weight percentages of glass fiber (GF) reinforcement on the mechanical properties of nylon (PA6) composite is investigated. Test specimens of pure nylon, 95% nylon + 5% GF, 90% nylon + 10% GF, 85% nylon + 15% GF and 80% nylon + 20% GF are prepared using an injection molding machine. In the experiments, tensile tests and impact tests are carried out. The...

Fatigue crack propagation in microcapsule - toughened epoxy

The addition of liquid-filled urea-formaldehyde (UF) microcapsules to an epoxy matrix leads to significant reduction in fatigue crack growth rate and corresponding increase in fatigue life. Mode-I fatigue crack propagation is measured using a tapered doublecantilever beam (TDCB) specimen for a range of microcapsule concentrations and sizes: 0, 5, 10, and 20% by weight and 50, 180, and 460 lm di...
