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...

objective: reinforcement with fiber is an effective method for considerable improvement in flexural properties of indirect composite resin restorations. the aim of this in-vitro study was to compare the transverse strength of composite resin bars reinforced with preimpregnated and non-impregnated fibers. materials and methods: thirty six bar type composite resin specimens (3×2×25 mm) were const...

Polyamide 6 (PA6) and short glass fiber (SGF) reinforced PA6 composites toughened with glycidylisobutyl oligomeric silsesquioxane (G-POSS) and 1.10-carbonyl-bis-caprolactam (CBC) were prepared by meltextrusion compounding process and then compounds were formed to 2 mm thick double edge notched tension samples (DENT) by injection moulding process. Fracture properties of composites were analyzed ...

This paper presents a novel fiber spraying process for the manufacturing of short bundle-reinforced Nextel™ 610/Al2O3-ZrO2 oxide composites (SF-OFC) and its characterization. First, influence varying lengths (7, 14, 28 mm, continuous fibers) orientations (unidirectional 0°, quasi-isotropic, ±45°) was investigated using hand-laid SF-OFC. Due to weak matrix, material exhibited strongly fiber-domi...

The calcium carbonate whisker (CW) and basalt fiber are gaining popularity due to its enhanced mechanical properties in composites. Also, the short long fibers provide bridging role resistance against cracking from micro- macro-scale, respectively. usage of hybrid along with addition CW cement-based composites is still a research gap. In this work, experimental behavior reinforced mortar consid...

Adhesion of the reinforcement to the polymer matrix is essential for load transfer from the polymer matrix to the reinforcement material in fiber-reinforced composites. The reversible Diels–Alder reaction between a furan-functionalized epoxy-amine thermosetting matrix with a maleimide-functionalized glass fiber was used to impart remendability at the polymer–glass interface for potential applic...

In the technological world, retrofitting of damaged structures has been emerged as an essential need and a common technique. For indent retrofitting, fiber reinforced polymer composites are used. Due to its beneficial properties, they used in massive work fields. Fiber polymers holds high strength weight ratio. area civil engineering, FRP habituated strengthen existing RC structures. extended e...

In this paper, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been used to predict the equivalent flexural strength of hybrid mesh and fiber reinforced cement-based composites (HMFRCBC). Three ANN models (Models 1, 2 and 3) were developed for predicting the flexural strength of cement-based composites. Model 1 used 48 data of the previously published data of the present authors and Model 2 used 48 data (o...
