A study on mechanical properties of ipomoea staphylinafiber reinforced glass fiber composite

In the present work, we study how to improve mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) in order to increase crashworthiness probability. Experimentally, hybrid carbon /glass fiber composite was made in order to get higher mechanical properties. As a results, with increasing carbon fiber volume fraction (% vol.), tensile strength and flexural strength of the composite are increased. Simulation of impact testing is also performed using data properties taken from the experiment with variation of impact forces on front bumper structure. By varying external load to the bumper, the result shows that higher thickness of hybrid carbon/glass fiber composite has always smaller stress values than thinner one. On the other hand, the displacement of hybrid carbon/glass car bumper increases linearly with increasing external load.

Glass Fiber Composite

Application of composite laminates was very wide in aerospace engineering, civil engineering, wind energy, auto industry, etc. Low cost glass fiber textile was often applied into composite laminates by many composites companies. It is of import that investigation of mechanical properties and damage mechanism of this composites laminates. Two types of composite laminates were studied in this paper. One type of composite laminates was made of glass fiber biaxial cloth. The other was made of glass fiber composite felt. Each type composite laminates has different direction aligned. Many specimen were tested in compression with universal testing materials machine model INSTRON 5500R. Strength of composite laminates and stress-strain diagram was obtained in these experiments. Effect of fiber different orientation on compression strength of laminates was found. Shear stresses between two laminas were calculated. Fracture mechanism of composites laminates was analyzed by macro-method. Fractography of laminates was applied into analysis of mechanism. SEM photo was acquired and observed in detail. The result is that strength and failure mechanism of different types composite laminates varied with fiber orientation and different textiles.

Glass Fiber Composite

The aim of present experimental investigation is to compare the mechanical properties of Sisal, jute and kenaf fiber reinforced with glass fiber in polyester matrix hybrid composites. Hybrid composites were fabricated by hand lay-up technique. The tensile, flexural and impact tests were carried out on different composite samples as per the ASTM standards. It was observed that the tensile strength of jute/glass fiber composite is 1.94 and 1.59 times more than that of sisal/glass and kenaf/glass composites, respectively. The flexural load carrying capacity of sisal/glass composite is 3.4 and 2.83 times greater than those of jute/glass and kenaf/glass composites, respectively. Also, it can be seen that impact strength of jute/glass composite is almost equal to that of kenaf/glass composite and 1.13 times more than that of sisal/glass composite.

Operational Factors

The results of the work performed at NRC «Kurchatov Institute» – VIAM in research on aspects of the influence of operational factors (high humidity and temperature) on the physic-mechanical properties of glass fiber composite VPS-31. The main physical and mechanical properties of samples obtained from the spar of the helicopter's main blade are presented (including the glass transition temperature, strength and modulus of elasticity in tension, elongation at break at various test temperatures in the initial state and after exposure to moisture). We studied the fragments of the spar, successfully passed thermocyclic tests («day/night»). The results of the research confirmed the possibility of exploitation of glass fiber composite VPS-31in a humid tropical climate.
