abstract

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 other. no creep rupture failures were observed in short-term (less than 10000 seconds) high temperature (t= 150 and 200 °c) tensile creep tests at the loads up to 15% of the ultimate tensile strength (uts) of the specimen. it was also found that the creep resistance of basalt fiber reinforced epoxy (bfre) was higher than that of glass fiber reinforced epoxy (gfre) and the materials are generally behaved as non-linear for all stresses and temperatures. adding mgp decreased the initial strain of bfre, but had no significant effect on the overall life time of bfre.

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 ...

aging influence on charpy impact behavior of basalt fiber reinforced epoxy composites

changes in moisture content and temperature can perturb both stiffness and strength and as such the impact resistance of composite structures. in this paper, the pre-notched basalt fibre reinforced epoxy (bfre) composite specimens are studied under charpy impact loads in order to investigate the changes in impact energy absorption (fracture toughness) with different kinds of aging conditions. t...

Creep behavior of bagasse fiber reinforced polymer composites.

The creep behavior of bagasse-based composites with virgin and recycled polyvinyl chloride (B/PVC) and high density polyethylene (B/HDPE) as well as a commercial wood and HDPE composite decking material was investigated. The instantaneous deformation and creep rate of all composites at the same loading level increased at higher temperatures. At a constant load level, B/PVC composites had better...

Accelerated Heat Aging Study of Phenolic/Basalt Fiber Reinforced Composites

One of the greatest impediments to use polymer-matrix composites is their susceptibility to degradation when exposed to the elevated temperatures and the limited knowledge on the thermal and mechanical properties of these composites at such temperatures. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of accelerated heat aging on the tensile properties of the Woven Basalt/Phenolic (WBP) ...

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...

Fatigue analysis of glass fiber reinforced composites

Some structure materials can match the flexibility and effectiveness of glass fiber Reinforced plastic, commonly called GFRP for short or simply fiberglass. Even it is very high strength, light weight, strong, and completely waterproof, it can be molded into free form shapes such as aerospace structures, and then also it has its endurance limits. Endurance limit means loss of strength and stiff...
