The purpose of this study is to determine the correct estimation of laminated design for composite materials applied to a ship radar mast. Recently, as the IMO’s environmental regulations have been strengthened to increase the energy efficiency of ships, the IMO has also begun to consider operational economics such as energy reduction through lightening the hull. Demand for lighter weight technology using composite materials is increasing. Examples would include lightweight large structures using composite materials, composite materials replacing metal design parts, and polymer composite materials applicable to marine environments. Therefore, in this study, the properties of the material were analyzed using a simulation program to verify the applicability of the composite material for ship radar mast. In addition, the reliability of the simulation result was secured through Fiber/Matrix/Ply correction and the calculation of the laminate dynamics. The results provide basic properties (E33, G23, G13, [Formula: see text]23, [Formula: see text]13, S13, S23) for computer analysis other than mechanical properties derived experimentally.

The mechanical properties of polymer composite materials largely depend on the interfacial phenomena occurring on the interface between the matrix and reinforcing material. The addition of components to the matrix of polymer composite materials that retain their viscoelastic state during the molding process of the products makes possible to locally change the deformation-and-strength properties of a finished product, adapting it to the specified operating conditions. The viscoelastic components in the hybrid matrix form the third phase of the polymer composite material. Increasing the efficiency of interfacial layers of polymer composite materials with various types of hybrid matrices is the most important task of their development. The samples for microanalysis of the polymer composite material structure with various types of hybrid matrices were molded using the prepreg technology by vacuum molding on the basis of BT400 biaxial basalt fabric. Technical wax, anaerobic (Loctite 638) and organosilicon (Yunisil-9628) polymer materials were selected as the viscoelastic components of the hybrid matrix. In order to explain the reasons for the change in the deformation-and-strength properties of the obtained basalt plastics with various viscoelastic components in the composition of the hybrid matrix, microanalysis of their structure was carried out. A mechanism for choosing a scheme for the location of viscoelastic components in a matrix of polymer composite materials based on the provisions of combinatorial optimization is described.

Due to the unique properties of polymer composites, these materials are used in many industries, including shipbuilding (hulls of boats, yachts, motorboats, cutters, ship and cooling doors, pontoons and floats, torpedo tubes and missiles, protective shields, antenna masts, radar shields, and antennas, etc.). Modern measurement methods and tools allow to determine the properties of the composite material, already during its design. The article presents the use of the method of acoustic emission and Kolmogorov-Sinai (K-S) metric entropy to determine the mechanical properties of composites. The tested materials were polyester-glass laminate without additives and with a 10% content of polyester-glass waste. The changes taking place in the composite material during loading were visualized using a piezoelectric sensor used in the acoustic emission method. Thanks to the analysis of the RMS parameter (root mean square of the acoustic emission signal), it is possible to determine the range of stresses at which significant changes occur in the material in terms of its use as a construction material. In the K-S entropy method, an important measuring tool is the extensometer, namely the displacement sensor built into it. The results obtained during the static tensile test with the use of an extensometer allow them to be used to calculate the K-S metric entropy. Many materials, including composite materials, do not have a yield point. In principle, there are no methods for determining the transition of a material from elastic to plastic phase. The authors showed that, with the use of a modern testing machine and very high-quality instrumentation to record measurement data using the Kolmogorov-Sinai (K-S) metric entropy method and the acoustic emission (AE) method, it is possible to determine the material transition from elastic to plastic phase. Determining the yield strength of composite materials is extremely important information when designing a structure.

An improved accurate speckle projection method is used for study the mechanical properties of the composite material film in the paper. A system for deformation measurement is developed with the telecentric lenses, in which such conventional lens’ disadvantages such as lens distortion and perspective error will be diminished. Experiments are performed to validate the availability and reliability of the calibration method. The system can also be used to measure the dynamic deformation and then results are also given.

The significance of composite materials and their applications are mainly due to their good properties. This imposes the need for their recycling, thus extending their lifetime. Once used composite material will be disposed as a waste at the end of it service life. After recycling, this kind of waste can be used as raw materials for the production of same material, which raises their applicability. This indicates a great importance of recycling as a method of the renowal of composite materials. This study represents a contribution to the field of mechanical properties of the recycled composite materials. The tension mechanical properties (tensile strength and modulus of elasticity) of once used and disposed glass-epoxy composite material were compared before and after the recycling. The obtained results from mechanical tests confirmed that the applied recycling method was suitable for glass-epoxy composite materials. In respect to the tensile strength and modulus of elasticity it can be further assessed the possibility of use of recycled glass-epoxy composite materials.

The Fokker F-27 Friendship, Boeing-777 and Airbus A380, which use ARALL and GLARE materials, were selected as the aircraft under study. Formulas are determined and the distribution of normal force flows between metal and composite elements in the composition of MPCM based on aluminum sheets (aluminum-fiberglass – SIAL- 1-1, SIAL-3-1 and SIAL-1441 (9/8)) and titanium alloys (samples of titanium-carbon fiber from the patent-Example 1 and Example 3). To determine these parameters, the formulas used for a composite structure made of different materials are used. On the basis of the specification known MPCM the modified formula mixture rule for calculating the strength of new materials with a given set of orientation angles of PCM and the presence of layers of sheet metal, a comparison with standard mechanical characteristics and to show the efficiency of these formulas. Using these formulas, you can determine the strength characteristics for an arbitrary composition of the MPCM package. The features of the choice of design permissible stresses for the design of the airframe of a mainline aircraft made of metal-polymer composite material are highlighted. The concept of designing aircraft airframe elements using MPCM is considered. The results of this work will allow us to determine the rational components of the metal-polymer composite material and the structure of their distribution in the airframe design at the preliminary design stage.
