MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF HYBRID CARBON/GLASS FIBER COMPOSITES

Effective mechanical properties of ‘‘fuzzy fiber’’ composites

In this paperwe investigate themechanical behavior of carbonfiber composites,where the carbonfibers are coated with radially aligned carbon nanotubes. For this purpose we develop a general micromechanics method for fiber composites, where fibers are coated with radially aligned microfibers (‘‘fuzzy fiber’’ composites). The mechanical effective properties are computed with a special extension of...

A Review on Mechanical Properties of Natural Fiber Reinforced Hybrid Polymer Composites

The natural fiber reinforced composites are being used in various fields of applications that are contributing to the replacement of synthetic fibers composites which consists of Boron, glass fiber, carbon fiber etc.. The composite natural fibers are being used due its light weight, higher specific strength and eco friendly natural, non –abrasive which also have economical value. As they are ma...

Study on Mechanical Properties and Constitutive Equation of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites Under Static Loading

Abstract: The Quasi-static mechanical properties of hybrid fiber (steel fiber and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber) reinforced cementitious composites (HFRCC(SP)) were investigated by compressive and tensile experiments. The compressive strength, peak strain, elastic modulus and tensile strength are studied as compared with that of engineered cementitious composite (ECC). Study results indicate th...

Mechanical Properties of Carbon Fiber Composites for Environmental Applications

Activated carbon fiber composites show gnat promise as fixed-bed catalytic reactors for use in environmental applications such as flue gas clean-up and ground water decontamination. A novel manufacturing process produces low density composites h m chopped carbon fibers and binders. These composites have high permeability, can be activated to have high surface area, and have many potential envir...
