Fiber- Reinforced Composite for Orthodontic Anchorage Technique

Introduction: In orthodontic treatment, adequate anchorage is necessary to move the intended teeth. In some cases, just anterior teeth are malaligned, while posterior occlusion is acceptable. Therefore, the posterior teeth could be integrated by fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) to provide a rigid anchorage. This method proved advantageous since brackets are bonded just to anter...

Effects of composite lay-up configuration and thickness on the damage self-sensing behavior of carbon fiber polymer-matrix composite

The lay-up configuration (unidirectional, crossply and quasi-isotropic) and thickness (8–24 laminae) affect the damage self-sensing characteristics of continuous carbon fiber epoxy-matrix composites. The damage is by drop impact directed at the top surface of the laminate. The oblique resistance (i.e., resistance at an angle between the longitudinal and through-thickness directions) is an effec...

Comparison of Compressive Properties Between Va-cuum Infusion and Hand Lay-Up Method Toward Bal-sa Core Sandwich Composites

The aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of fabrication methods on the com-pressive properties of sandwich composites using both experimental work and numerical simulations. Two types of sandwich composites with E-glass/Kevlar/polyester resin facings and End-grain balsa wood as core have been produced by vacuum infusion processing (VIP) and hand-lay up (HL) method. Compression tests on...

Electrical and Mechanical Performance of Hybrid and Non-hybrid Composites

This paper investigated the moisture absorption, mechanical behavior and the dielectric performance of hybrid and non-hybrid polymeric composites. Hand lay-up technique was used for processing carbon; glass reinforced polyester resin composites (non-hybrid) and carbon-glass/polyester hybrid composites with various fiber configurations. The maximum resistance of water absorption was obtained for...
