Statistical Evaluation for Residual Strength of Impacted Composite Materials

Damage tolerance and residual strength of composite sandwich structures

Elution of residual monomers from dental composite materials.

AIM This study was designed to determine the type and amount of the monomers leached from the different particle sizes of the composite materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three different disk sizes (2, 4, 6 mm) prepared for each material group (Filtek Flow, Filtek A110, Filtek P60 and Filtek Supreme) were polymerised by LED and halogen light; the specimens were then placed in artificial saliva....

The Evaluation of Flexural Strength of Composite Resin Materials with and without Fiber

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of solutions, times of storage and reinforcement with fiber on the flexural strength of different composite materials. Nanofill and nanohybrid composite materials with and without fiber, a glass fiber and polyethylene fiber, were tested in the present study. 72 specimens (25×2×2 mm3) were prepared as following six groups; Group ECME: everS...

Layup Configuration Effect on Notch Residual Strength in Composite Laminates

The current trend shows an increasing demand for composites due to their high stiffness to weight ratio and the recent progress in manufacturing and cost reduction of composites. To combine high strength and stiffness in a cost-effective way, composites are often joined with steel or aluminum. However, joining of thermoset composite materials is challenging because circular holes are often used...

Thermographic Evaluation of Aircraft Composite Materials

Lockin thermography is used by RSAF and other aircraft companies. It involves actively applying sinusoidal thermographic waves to the specimen and observing phase and amplitude changes at the specimen surface in order to evaluate structural information below the surface. Experiments were performed to evaluate defect characteristics such as depth, size and shape. The specimen contained very wide...
