Creep Behavior of Basalt and Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites

The creep behavior of basalt fiber reinforced epoxy (BFRE) and glass fiber reinforced epoxy (GFRE) composites was studied through tensile testing at high temperature. To study the effect of reinforcing epoxy, the micro glass powder (MGP) was added at various volume percentage into the epoxy resin in BFRE composites. The initial strain for all the specimens were evaluated and compared with each ...

Creep Evolution Analysis of Composite Cylinder Made of Polypropylene Reinforced by Functionally Graded MWCNTs

Polypropylene is one of the most common, fastest growing and versatile thermoplastics currently used to produce tanks and chemical piping systems. Even at room temperature creep is considerable for polypropylene products. The creep behavior of strains, stresses, and displacement rates is investigated in a thick-walled cylinder made of polypropylene reinforced by functionally graded (FG) multi-w...

Plane Behaviour at High Strain Rates of a Quasi-Unidirectional E-Glass/Polyester Composite : Impact Application

Dealing with the plane behaviour of a composite quasi-unidirectional elementary ply made of E glasslpolyester, this paper contributes to the study of impact phenomena on ceramic/composite bi-layered targets. Firstly, a quasistatic modelisation of the elementary ply behavior, in plane tensile and plane shear, is presented. It allows a good description of the residual strains and of stiffness los...

Tensile Creep and Creep-Recovery Behavior of a SiC-Fiber─Si3N4-Matrix Composite

The tensile creep and creep-recovery behavior of a unidirectional Sic-fiher/Si,N,-matrix composite was investigated at 1200°C in air. A primary objective of the study was to determine how various sustained and cyclic creep loading histories would influence the creep rate, accumulated creep strain, and the amount of strain recovered upon specimen unloading. The key results obtained from the inve...
