Evaluation of Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Glass/Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Hybrid Composite

Polymer matrix composites used in different industrial applications due to their enhanced mechanical properties and lightweight. However, these materials are subjected to friction and wear situations in some industrial and automobile applications. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the wear properties of polymer matrix composite materials. This article emphasizes the dry abrasive wear be...

Experimental Study of the Flexural and Compression Performance of an Innovative Pultruded Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer-Wood Composite Profile

The plate of a pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer or fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) profile produced via a pultrusion process is likely to undergo local buckling and cracking along the fiber direction under an external load. In this study, we constructed a pultruded glass-fiber-reinforced polymer-light wood composite (PGWC) profile to explore its mechanical performance. A rectangular cross-sect...

Mechanical Properties of Green Coconut Fiber Reinforced Hdpe Polymer Composite

During the last few years, natural fibers have received much more attention than ever before from the research community all over the world. These natural fibers offer a number of advantages over traditional synthetic fibers. The present study aims to determine the mechanical properties namely, Tensile strength (TS), Flexural strength (FS), and Impact strength (IS) of green coconut fiber reinfo...

Evaluation of Stress Corrosion Properties of Pultruded Glass Fiber/Polymer Composite Materials

A series of stress corrosion experiments were performed on 12 pultruded glass fiber composite materials (two fibers in six different matrices) commonly used in high voltage composite insulators. In this study two types of glass fibers were investigated, namely Eglass and ECR-glass. The tests were performed in nitric acid solutions (pH 1.2) using constant K I specimens that were specifically des...
