Cfrp Laminate

A carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate forms the surface part of an integrally heated tool. It was made up of carbon non-crimp triaxial fibre and SR8100 epoxy in accordance to the stacking sequence of [(0, ±45)/ (90, ±45)] S, using the resin infusion (RI) method. The laminate is heated up to 90ºC when the tool is operated; therefore under-standing the effect of temperature on the flexural properties is quite significant. This experimental study is carried out to investigate the flexural behaviour of the CFRP laminate and finding its flexural properties under the effect of elevated temperatures. For this purpose, various CFRP specim-ens were prepared and tested, using three point bending test method, at different temperature levels from room temperature to 90ºC. The results show that each of the flexural peak load, modulus and strength of the laminate decreases consistently with the increase of temperature. Also the laminate becomes slightly more flexible and significant loss occurs in its flexural modulus when the temperature elevates from 75ºC to 90ºC. The reduction in the flexural behaviour of CFRP is imputed to thermal softening of the epoxy polymer matrix whenever becomes closer to (HDT).

Flexural Performance

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)/bamboo composites have been prepared and assessed for their use in interior and exterior load-bearing applications. PVC composites were formed by compounding PVC with different bamboo particle sizes and loadings. The mechanical properties of these composites were determined at both ambient and elevated temperatures and after long-term water soaking. Analysis revealed that bamboo incorporation improved the PVC composite flexural modulus which was also observed with dynamic mechanical-thermal analysis on heating composites toca.70°C. Addition of 25% and 50% bamboo particles increases flexural modulus by 80% with dependency on whether fine (<75 μm) or coarse (<1 mm) particles were used. On water soaking to saturation, composites had water weight uptakes of 10%, with reduced flexural properties obtained for all water-soaked composites. Nonetheless, the results of this study show that PVC/bamboo composites achieve the minimum flexural performance of ASTM D 6662, indicating potential for their use in exterior applications.

Laminate Thickness

The effect of the plies number and the thickness on flexural properties of glass fiber reinforced polyester or epoxy composites has been investigated experimentally. Laminates were fabricated by hand layup technique in a mould under light pressure and followed by curing at room temperature for 8 hours. Laminates were made with a different number of plies, by varying the number of glass layers and the thickness so as to obtain different total fiber weight fraction. Tests were conducted on a hydraulic universal testing machine, Zwick Roell type 50 kN capacity, using automatic data acquisition software. The results indicated that the plies number and the laminate thickness have a great effect on flexural properties. An overall comparison between the flexural properties of all the laminates which have the same design revealed that the glass/epoxy laminates have better properties than those of glass/polyester laminates. It is found that the behavior of these laminates is dominated by damage mechanisms such as delamination, buckling and fiber rupture.

At present, design values in codes and regulations are mainly based on test results of small size specimens, which are different from large-scale members used in practical engineering, therefore size adjustment coefficients are needed to be established. The four-point bending test method was adopted to investigate four groups of different sizes of Larch Glulam beams in their flexural behavior. Experiment data such as ultimate bearing capacity, deflection, strains and others are obtained, and the failure pattern and failure mechanism of bending members are analyzed. The research results indicate that the bending modulus of elasticity of Larch Glulam beam is not affected by the size. Bending strength of the Larch Glulam beam show a declining trend as the size of specimens increases, however, the ultimate bending moment increases. In addition, by means of a two-parameter Weibull model, a so-called size effect coefficient has been calculated by the slope method, thus providing a basis for the design and application of Larch Glulam beams.

Frp Bars

This research study investigates the flexural behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars after being subjected to different levels of elevated temperatures (100, 200 and 300°C). Three types of glass FRP bars (ribbed, sand coated, and helically wrapped) and one type of carbon FRP bars (sand coated) were used in this study. Two testing scenarios were used: a) testing specimens immediately after heating and b) keeping specimens to cool down before testing. Test results showed that as the temperature increased the flexural strength and modulus of the tested FRP bars decreased. At temperatures higher than the glass transition temperature (Tg), significant flexural strength and modulus losses were recorded. Smaller diameter bars showed better residual flexural strength and modulus than larger diameter bars. The immediately tested bars showed significant strength and modulus losses compared to bars tested after cooling. Different types of GFRP bars showed comparable results. However, the helically wrapped bars showed the highest flexural strength losses (37 and 60%) while the sand coated bars showed the lowest losses (29 and 39%) after exposure to 200 and 300℃, respectively. The carbon FRP bars showed residual flexural strengths comparable to those recorded for the GFRP bars; however, they showed lower residual flexural modulus after being subjected to 200 and 300℃.

The project WoodC.A.R. investigates the capabilities of wood and engineered wood-products (EWPs) for their application as a load-bearing material in automotive applications. For crash-relevant components, materials have to provide a high impact bending energy over a wide range of climatic conditions. This study investigates the effect of temperature on the bending behavior of solid birch wood beams (800 × 90 × 43 mm3) under quasi-static and dynamic loading. Specimens were exposed to a three-point bending test with lateral confinement, replicating the hypothetical installation environment in a car, at five temperature levels: −30 °C, 0 °C, +30 °C, +60 °C, and +90 °C. A cylindrical impactor (D = 254 mm, m = 91 kg) was propelled against the center of the beam with an initial velocity of 8.89 m/s (dynamic) and at a constant velocity of 10 mm/min (quasi-static), respectively. Specimens were conditioned in a freezer and a climate chamber, respectively. Temperature was monitored prior and during testing. Bulk density and global fiber deviation were determined afterwards. In both, the dynamic and the quasi-static load case maximum force slightly decreased with increasing temperature, but remained almost constant at temperatures exceeding +30 °C. On average, the maximum dynamic peak force level was twice as high as in quasi-static tests. In the quasi-static tests, the energy absorption remained constant at elevated temperatures (+30 °C to +90 °C) but decreased by about 50% at lower temperatures −30 °C and 0 °C. In the dynamic tests, the energy absorption remained almost constant throughout the entire temperature range.
