In this research, effect of opening on the buckling of FMLs (Fiber Metal Laminate) is studied. Samples are made of a laminate, epoxy resin reinforced with four layers of woven basalt fibers, inserted between two Al plates. Different samples are prepared, tested and studied; one group without opening and the other two groups with circular openings of radii 10 and 20 mm. In all samples buckling i...

piping sometimes is occurred due to seepage of water in hydraulic structures. the continuty of this phenomenon decreases the safety or caused the failure of a structure. in this work, experimental tests were carried out on statically compacted natural and randomly reinforced silt sandy soil samples. the randomly reinforced samples were prepared with different lengths and percentages of an artif...

introduction: debonding is a common cause of failure encountered with fiber-reinforced composite (frc) posts, and usually occurs along the post space-dentin adhesive interface. the aim of this in vitro study is to evaluate the regional push-out bond strength of a fiber-reinforced post system, using two resin cements. materials and methods: in this in vitro study 20 maxillary central incisors we...

Abstract Hybrid laminates with continuous fiber reinforcement, such as glass reinforced aluminium laminate (GLARE), aramid aluminum (ARALL), or carbon (CARALL), have been developed to increase the lightweight potential and fatigue resistance applied for aircraft structures. However, use of thermosetting matrices imposes material limitations regarding recycling, malleability, manufacturing-cycle...

background and aim: this study investigated the reinforcing effect of silica nanoparticles when incorporated into the matrix phase of an experimental dental fiber reinforced composites (frc) through the evaluation of the flexural properties of the composites. materials and methods: in this experimental study frc samples were divided into two main groups (containing two or three bundles) either ...

objective: different educational tools are now commonly used in universities worldwide such as illustrations, audio and videotapes, etc. this study aimed to compare the efficacy of educational film and clinical demonstration for instruction of fiber-reinforced composite (frc) post restorations to dental students in department of restorative dentistry.   methods: this interventional study was co...

We have developed a method for the three-dimensional (3D) printing of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics based on fused-deposition modeling. The technique enables direct 3D fabrication without the use of molds and may become the standard next-generation composite fabrication methodology. A thermoplastic filament and continuous fibers were separately supplied to the 3D printer and the fi...
