The critical infiltration pressures of the matrix in a two-dimensional (2D) carbon fiber preform were calculated theoretically, and the calculated values of the static and dynamic models were 0.115 and 0.478 MPa, respectively. Compared with the dynamic model, there is no viscous resistance or infiltration front gas pressure in the static model, so the static value is obviously lower than the dynamic value. To verify the rationality of theoretical calculation, 2D carbon fiber reinforced plastics (2D-CFRP) with infiltration pressures of 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9 MPa were prepared by the vacuum infiltration hot pressing molding process. The microstructure of the composite was observed and the bending strength was tested by three-point bending test. The results show that the infiltration pressure has an important influence on the infiltration effect and the bending fracture morphology. When the infiltration pressure is 0.7 MPa, the composite has an excellent infiltration effect. The fibers distribute reasonable in the fracture. Stress can be effectively transferred when the composite material is loaded. And the bending strength of the composite material reaches 627 MPa at this time.

Particle reinforcement via the insertion of hard particles is a promising process in materials reinforcing. Particle-reinforced spheroidal graphite martensitic cast iron (SGMC), in which mixed particles of cermet and cemented carbide are dispersed, was achieved by an insertion process. A four-point bending strength test was applied to evaluate the particle composite material. An evaporative pattern process was used on the bending-test specimen to form a composite layer in the central part. Using a combination of three sizes of cermet particles and two sizes of cemented-carbide particles, the bending strength was found to increase with each small-particle combination. The Weibull coefficient m of the four-point bending strength of the particle-reinforced composite material (PRCM) ranged from 4 to 13, and m was large in the specimen with large bending strength.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites are being used increasingly not only in strengthening structures of civil infrastructures and aerospace or automotive industries but also in many applications such as in medical fields or chemical plants. The present study relates to resin compositions having beneficial physical and mechanical properties, which may include improved resistance to delamination. This study focused on the different behaviors of CFRP composites when subjected to microwave irradiation. Based on the results of the 3-point bending test and SEM images, the delamination tendencies of breaking the CFRP under microwave were discussed. The results can be summarized as follows: (1) CFRP can be degraded under microwave irradiation; (2) two delamination tendency curves of CFRP by microwave irradiation were observed; (3) only the bending strength values of CFRP decreased with increasing microwave power and residence time; and, (4) the degradation of CFRP by microwave was limited.

Carbon fiber fabrics have been largely used in composite structures as they provide high mechanical strength and potential weigh reduction, allowing more efficiency in product design. However, the production of the parts generates scraps that is discarded as a waste, becoming a challenge to recycle the carbon fiber with predictable mechanical strength. Within this context, this research analyzed strategies of laying up carbon woven fabrics based scraps, in order to reach a desirable mechanical properties in bending loading. Three types of laminates were manufactured using varied fabric size and number of discontinuities in the layup combined with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film as a matrix. The obtained composites were tested under four-point-bending test and an energy-strength based analysis was conducted. This analysis explained a strategic position of fabric scrap to maximize the bending strength: providing a value of 106.33 MPa for a composite with high number of discontinuities against 83.11 MPa for another with less discontinuity.

The present paper is focused on evaluating the mechanical characterization of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB) healing systems synthetized by in-situ polymerisation. Both healing systems were embedded in glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite and subjected to three-point bending test regime. Microstructural and FT-IR analysis showed the formation of microcapsules and a successful integration in the composite material. To observe the influence of temperature variation, some specimens were exposed to thermal cycling (-20oC to +100oC) for 12 hours and tested in the same conditions. It was observed that the addition of microcapsules in the composite material decreased its mechanical properties by 8% and 10% for DCPD system and ENB system respectively. Thermal cycling suggested a drop of 24% on bending strength for DCPD system and 17% for ENB. Resting after 24 hours showed a healing recovery of 74% for DCPD healing system and of 97% for ENB system.

Abstract The graphene oxide-carbon fiber hybrid reinforced resin matrix (GO-CF/EP) composites were prepared by vacuum infiltration hot-pressing molding process. The effects of extrusion temperature on the microstructure, fracture mechanism and mechanical properties of GO-CF/EP composites were investigated by setting different extrusion temperatures. In the experiments, the extrusion temperature was controlled as 30℃, 40℃, 50℃, 60℃ and 70℃ respectively. It was found that the best mechanical property of composites and infiltration effect of matrix in the fiber gap were obtained at the temperature of 50℃. The bending strength of the material reached 977 MPa through the performance test. The results showed the matrix viscosity was high and the fluidity was poor when the extrusion temperature was low. Poor penetration of the matrix resulted in a large number of fibers failing to bond together. The stress was difficult to transfer to other fibers through the matrix and the strengthening effect of graphene oxide (GO) was weak when the composite was subjected to external force. This phenomenon led to poor mechanical properties of composites. Under the condition of higher temperature, the flow speed of the matrix and the curing speed of composites could be improved. As a result, some of the matrix was solidified in advance while being pressed out, which led to cracks and other defects in the process of loading and affects the mechanical properties of the composites. However, the mechanical properties of the composites with higher extrusion temperature were better than those with lower extrusion temperature due to the existence of graphene oxide in the fiber gap.

In the traditional molding process of laminated carbon fiber reinforced C/C composites - preform, it always causes great damage to a high modulus carbon fiber. Research about key factors for jet puncture in multilayer composite material is proposed in this paper. With the method, carbon fiber is added into the laminating direction of high-modulus carbon cloth by using jet method, so the preform is combined together to improve interlayer fiber connection strength in laminating direction (Z direction). Firstly, the key factors in jet puncture process are investigated. Parameter optimization and dynamic modeling of jet process have been studied to explore the mechanism of jet puncture process. Then a fluid simulation is conducted by studying the formation and distribution of diffusion flow field, jet resistance, penetration ability and jet kinetic energy loss. Finally, the fluid software is used to simulate and obtain the optimal structure of carbon cloth and the nozzle. It is expected that this paper can provide a new and effective approach for Z-puncture reinforcement fibers of laminated composite materials.
