Abstract The current investigation intends to compare the compression strength analysis of glass fiber composites filled with brown algae filler. material involved in this work is a fibre composite and without 40 specimens were tested by using selected parameters universal testing machine. In work, control group was epoxy experimental algae-filled fiber-reinforced polymer. mean compressive obta...

Fiber-reinforced laminated composites are frequently preferred in many engineering projects. With the development in production technology, the using of the fiber reinforced laminated composites has been increasing in engineering applications. In the production stage of the fiber-reinforced laminated composites, porosities could be occurred due to production or technical errors. After a level o...

Resin transfer molding of an inorganic polymer binder was successfully demonstrated in the preparation of ceramic fiber reinforced engine exhaust valves. Unfortunately, in the preliminary processing trials, the resulting composite valves were too brittle for in-engine evaluation. To address this limited toughness, the effectiveness of a modified fiber-matrix interface is investigated through th...

A combination of reinforcements at different levels can have a synergetic effect on the final properties of a composite. The aim of this work was to produce, evaluate, and compare the wet/dry cycling durability of the exposure of cement composites reinforced with conventional pulps at the micro-scale level, with nanofibrillated cellulose fibers at the nano-scale level, and with combinations of ...

Hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer composites comprised of glass and steel fibers in a resin matrix have been shown to increased strength energy dissipation compared conventional composites. However, methods for simulating the mechanical behavior combinations hybrid yet be advanced. In this study, non-hybrid with off-axis were manufactured extracted coupons subjected half-cyclic tensile testing. T...

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 tensile plastic deformation of dendrite-reinforced Ti-based metallic glass composites (MGCs) was investigated. It was found that there is a critical normalized strain-hardening rate (NSHR) that determines the plastic stability of MGCs: if the NSHR is larger than the critical value, the plastic deformation of the MGCs will be stable, i.e. the necking and strain localization can be effectivel...

In spite of their popularity in fulfilling aesthetic requirements, plastic brackets still present some disadvantages because of their low elastic modulus, decreased fracture toughness, and reduced wear resistance. Fibre-reinforced composites are well established in dentistry and consist of a polymer matrix in which reinforcing fibres are embedded. Stress is transferred from the polymer matrix t...

Polymerization of β-phenyl glutaconic diethyl ester (GE) with various diamines (DA) at 1:2 molar ratios in 1,4dioxane solvent was carried out at reflux temperature. The resultant amino terminated unsaturated oligomers (ATUP) were characterized by elemental analysis, number of terminal amino groups, IR spectral studies, number average molecular weight estimated by non-aqueous conductometric titr...

A compression strength model based on damage mechanics and a Gaussian distribution of fiber misalignment is presented. The model uses only three material parameters that can be measured by well established methodologies. The compression strength and all the parameters that enter in the model were measured for the same materials. Predicted values are compared to experimental data for eleven diff...
