<p class="R-AbstractKeywords"><span lang="EN-US">Interest to structural application of textile reinforced polymer matrix composite materials (CM) is growing during last years. In different branches of machine building, aerospace, automotive and others industries we can find structural elements preferably be produced using such reinforcement. At the same time, such materials are exhibiting elastic and strength properties scatter. In the framework of the present investigation, we observe yarn penetrated by a resin in a composite as a reinforcing “macro” fiber. Such “macro” fiber mechanical properties were measured experimentally, for this purpose was produced and was tested by tension until fracture fiber samples, having different length. Then was elaborated and was realized structural strength probabilistic model. In the textile geometry, was picked out repeating structural element – polymer matrix volume with two curved “macro” fiber’s chunks inside it. Complete composite material volume is possible to represent as a set of repeating structural elements. External loads application leads to disperse structural elements failure. Neighboring to ruptured elements are overloaded leading to higher probability to fail for them. Using FEM was modeled stress state in “macro” fibers inside CM. Then, was numerically obtained stress distribution in composite material, having different number of broken loops. Probabilities of different numbers of failed elements were calculated.  Strength probability function, based on Weibull approach was obtained. CM samples were tested under tension and obtained results were compared with numerical modeling as well as were analyzed.</span></p>

<p>Fibreglass-reinforced polyester (GRP) is the most widely used composite material in the ship building industry and requires careful study in point of mechanical characteristics. This article presents the collective experience related to behaviour in different situations of GRP loading. We considered three cases manufacturing for GRP: layers with mechanical characteristics for each layer, composite (the material is considered isotropic but with layers and same mechanical properties for all layers), and isotropic plates.</p>

This paper studies a polymer composite material - a unidirectional organoplastic based on Rusar-NT aramid fiber and a melt epoxy-polysulfone binder. Organoplastic has the following mechanical properties: tensile strength 2060 MPa, Young's modulus 101 GPa. The microstructure of the fiber and the polymer matrix in the organoplastic samples was studied before and after tensile tests. The features of the formation of the binder structure depending on the packing density of the fibers in organoplastics have been determined. The nature of the destruction of fibers and polymer matrix caused by the uniaxial tension has been studied.

Polymerization shrinkage of composite filling materials still becomes one of the most important features which decreases strength properties of reconstructed teeth crowns. From among various methods to reduce that disadvantageous phenomenon which are used in a dental practice sandwich filling processing of crown cavity seems to be the most effective one. The paper presents the results of the strength examination of the influence of the different ways of layered polymerization processing on the mechanical properties of modern hybrid micro composite material with regards to the following quantities: compressive strength, strain to fracture, modulus of elasticity and work to fracture.

In this paper, the preparation of polymer coatings on the surface of metal structural elements is considered to improve their physical, mechanical and strength properties. It is shown that the behavior of substrate samples under mechanical loads can be estimated using mathematical modeling methods. The properties of coatings and the mechanical properties of coated and uncoated metal plates have been evaluated. Methods for constructing mathematical models of metal plates of various structures are proposed.

Structure, magnetic and mechanical properties of the nanocrystalline composite material of the SILAME® type were tested. The composite material was obtained by solidification of the nanocrystalline powder obtained in the high energy grinding of the initially crystallized Co68Fe4Mo1Si13,5B13,5 amorphous strip with the silicon polymer. The metallic powder was mixed with the silicon polymer in a different weight ratio and next the effect of Co68Fe4Mo1Si13,5B13,5 powder weight ratio on the magnetic and physical properties of the composite was investigated.

This article discusses the properties of concrete composite materials based on their contexture. Systematic and interactive approaches are required in order to achieve optimal material properties in the preparation of composite materials. In order to predict the physical and mechanical properties of each component of the composite material but also as a whole, its optimization, not only the mechanical but also the material properties under different working conditions, requires a combination of different methods and technologies. The advantage of each composite is its specific properties that cannot be achieved by any component of the composite material alone. The strength of the materials based on polymer concrete mixtures can be compared to the strength properties of metals. On the other hand, this material has elastic properties which give the material a high degree of flexibility. When compared to conventional materials, the value of polymer composites is assessed not only in terms of excellent mechanical properties but also in terms of their low weight and cost. The aim of the paper is to describe the advantages and disadvantages of composites based on polymer concrete mixtures.

Wood possesses material properties that may be significantly different from other materials normally encountered in structural design. It is necessary for the engineer to have a general understanding of the properties and characteristics that affect the strength and performance of wood in bridge applications. This paper discusses the mechanical properties of wood, including elastics properties and strength properties. Timber bridge are often exposed to harsh environment conditions. Over time, this exposure can lead to deterioration. In turn, this deterioration may lead to a loss of structural integrity that is detrimental to the structure and its users. Timber structural elements are susceptible to degradation due to environmental and loading conditions. A variety of inspection techniques can be employed to locate damage and decay in timber members in order to maintain structural performance. Methods of non-destructive techniques for timber bridges are getting more and more important. This paper presents several non-destructive methods to timber bridge structures.

Over the past two decades it has been established that composite materials are the leading emerging materials. The natural fibres present a number of advantages over traditional synthetic fibres because of their better corrosion resistance, excellent thermo-mechanical properties and high strength to weight ratio. Also the composite materials play an important role in maintaining the eco-friendly design requirements. Among this, polymer matrix composite is one of the recent developing sectors on the composite field, because it has high strength with less density as compared to the metal matrix composite. Depending on the applications, the properties of the polymer reinforced composite are improved by modifying compositions, process of fabrication and direction of fibre etc. In this analysis the Roselle Fibre (Hibiscus Sabdariffa) is reinforced with polymer composite by wt % in the mode of compression molding. The mechanical properties of the above fabricated material were analyzed by ASTM Standards and also the characterization of polymer composites were analysed using SEM. The compressive strength and the hardness value were high as compared to other strength properties; hence it is more suitable for compressive and structural applications. The results concluded that the treated fibre with chemical reveals better compatibility with polymer matrix than that of untreated fibre.

Applications of polymer matrix composites are growing in aerospace and offshore industries due to the light-weight and good mechanical properties of composite materials. The design of composite materials can be made at macroscopic level in which the composite mechanical properties can be tailored to offer the most desired performance of composite structures. Understanding on mechanical behavior of the composite material may require detailed investigations at the microscopic level involving the behaviour of the composite constituents such as the fiber, the polymer matrix and the fiber/matrix interface under macroscopic loads. Composite failure criteria are often employed to evaluate the failure of composite material and its constituents. Computational damage models can be then developed to reflect the stiffness reduction of the material once damage at the macro- and micro- scales of the composite is indicated. The successful prediction of composite structures relies on consistent computational models which can capture the mechanical behaviour of composite materials at different length scales.

This paper concerns developing the mechanical properties of unsaturated polyester. This work involves preparing a composite material and reinforcing it using river shell particles with volume fractures of (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%). The composite materials undergone mechanical tests with regard to hardness, tensile, and impact strength. The experimental results obtained show that the addition of river shell particles reduce the original tensile strength and impact strength up to 5% wt, while the hardness is increased with increasing addition of river shell particles percent.
