Solid Particle Erosion of Knitted Glass Fabric-Reinforced Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate) Composites

Solid particle erosion of Bagasse fiber reinforced epoxy composite

Experiments were carried out to study the effects of impingement angle and particle velocity on the solid particle erosion behavior of Bagasse Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites (BFRPCs). The erosive wear is evaluated at different impingement angles from 30° to 90° at four different velocities of 48, 70, 82 and 109 m/s. The erodent used is silica sand with the size range 150 – 250 m of irregul...

Impact Damage in Woven Fabric Reinforced Composites

INTRODUCTION Very often, woven fabrics are used as the reinforcement in advanced composite materials. Although the resulting inplane stiffness is lower than of their unidirectional counterparts, the excellent drapability of these materials eases the production of more general doubly curved components. In addition, the inherently low out-of-plane strength of these layered materials improves due ...

Vibration Analysis of Glass Fiber Reinforced Composites

Glass fiber reinforced resol/vac-eha composites have been fabricated in laboratory to determine the dynamic behavior of glass fiber reinforced composites. Resol solution was blended with vinyl acetate-2-ethylhexyl acrylate (vac-eha) resin in an aqueous medium with varying volume fraction of glass fibers. The role of fiber/matrix interactions in glass fibers reinforced composites were investigat...
