Fused filament fabrication (FFF) has been used to create prototypes and functional parts for various applications using plastic filaments. It also extended the use of continuous fibers reinforcing thermoplastic polymers. This study aims optimize deposition design a coextruded carbon fiber (CCF) composite with polyethylene terephthalate glycol?modified (PETG) filament. The characterizations on r...

The stability of geogrid-reinforced soil structure is closely related to the interface characteristics between geogrid and soil. However, creep behavior soil–geogrid still unrevealed. In this study, using a modified stress-controlled pullout device, influence normal pressure, dry density, water content on compacted loess high-density polyethylene (HDPE) investigated. A three-parameter empirical...

This study aimed to create a self-reinforced composite material that can be processed by injection molding and other standard thermoplastic processing techniques potentionally used as implant material. Self-reinforcement in biomaterials is desirable because it does not compromise biocompatibility improves biofunctionality through improved mechanical performance. Self-reinforced composites curre...

in this study, behavior of pin-loaded glass fiber reinforced with polyethylene laminated composites with different stacking sequence and different dimensions has been observed experimentally and stress analysis was performed using ansys software. the aim is to investigate stresses, failure strength and failure mode of composite laminates containing a pin loaded hole when the material exhibits l...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanical and thermal properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites reinforced by bamboo pulp fibers (BPF). Using a twin-screw extruder, polymer composites were fabricated using BPF and bamboo flour (BF) as the reinforcement and HDPE as the matrix. Tensile and flexural tests of the HDPE composites were performed to determine the mech...

Selective laser sintering (SLS) has been investigated for the production of bioactive implants and tissue scaffolds using composites of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) reinforced with hydroxyapatite (HA) with the aim of achieving the rapid manufacturing of customized implants. Single-layer and multilayer block specimens made of HA-HDPE composites with 30 and 40 vol % HA were sintered successfu...

A low cost and low dielectric loss zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4) reinforced HDPE (high-density polyethylene) composite has been developed for antenna applications. The 0-3 type composite is prepared by dispersing ZrSiO4 fillers for various volume fractions (0.1 to 0.5) in the HDPE matrix by the melt mixing process. The composite shows good microwave dielectric properties with a relative permittiv...

In this study, the scope of CFRP cables in cable-stayed bridges is studied by establishing a numerical model of a 1400-m span of the same. The mechanical properties and characteristics of CFRP stay cables and of a cable-stayed bridge with CFRP cables are here subjected to comprehensive analysis. The anomalies in the damping properties of free vibration, nonlinear parametric vibration and wind f...
