Structural Batteries Made from Fibre Reinforced Composites
نویسندگان
چکیده
Structural, fibre reinforced, battery prototypes with two types of electrolyte matrix material, a gel and a solid polymer, have been manufactured. This was to confirm the concept of using carbon fibres as current collector in the anode as well as providing a mechanical load-carrying functionality. As a result, functioning batteries with gel electrolyte have been produced and their properties have been characterised.

Experiments on Tensile and Shear Characteristics of Amorphous Micro Steel (AMS) Fibre-Reinforced Cementitious Composites
Amorphous micro-steel (AMS) fibre made by cooling of liquid pig iron is flexible, light and durable to corrosion, then to be compatible with high flowable and disperable states of mixing as well as high ductile post-cracked performances to apply in fibre-reinforced cementitious composites. In the current research, AMS fibre-reinforced cementitious composites based on cement and alkali-activated...
متن کاملDeformation Characteristics of Composite Structures
The composites provide design flexibility because many of them can be moulded into complex shapes. The carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy composites exhibit excellent fatigue tolerance and high specific strength and stiffness which have led to numerous advanced applications ranging from the military and civil aircraft structures to the consumer products. However, the modelling of the beams undergoin...
متن کاملModelling the effective elasto-plastic properties of unidirectional composites reinforced by fibre bundles under transverse tension and shear loading
The effect of fibre bundling on the effective transverse properties of unidirectional fibre composites has been investigated by way of finite element method and micromechanics models of fibre bundles. Based on the micromechanical model of single-fibre composites, plane strain models for composites reinforced by fibre bundles are presented. The effective elasto-plastic stress /strain behaviour w...

The main advantage of multidirectionally reinforced composites is the freedom to orient selected fiber types and hence derives the benefits of varying fibre volume fractions and there by accommodate the design loads of the final structure of composites. This technology provides the means to produce tailored composites with desired properties. Due to the high level of fibre integrity with throug...
متن کاملFabrication and performance of natural fibers: Sansevieria cylindrica, waste silk, jute and drumstick vegetable fibres (Moringa Oleifera) reinforced with rubber/polyester composites
Aim of this work was to investigate the tensile, flexural and dielectric properties of composites made by reinforcing Sansevieria cylindrica as a new natural fibre into a rubber based polyester matrix. The fibres extracted by retting and manual processes were used to fabricate the composites. These composites were tested for the properties which mentioned above and compared with those of establ...
