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.

Lightweight and high strength composite materials are vital for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and aerospace technologies with desired characteristics. Carbon composite materials exhibit extraordinary properties for UAVs and aerospace applications. This study aimed to discover the best-prepared composition of composites material having epoxy LY-5052 and carbon fibres laminate for UAVs. Besides, to develop a low cost with high specific strength composite material for aerospace application to replace metallic alloys. In this work, the vacuum bag technique is used to prepare rectangular strips of three different ratios of carbon fibre/epoxy laminates [(40:60), (50:50) and (60:40)] to obtain the best composite in terms of properties. The thermo-mechanical and viscoelastic behaviour of composite materials were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), universal testing machine (UTM) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The tensile strength of epoxy LY5052 composites with 60 wt% has enhanced to 986%, and glass transition temperature (Tg) was improved from 71oC to 110oC. Overall, 60 wt% carbon fibre exhibits better thermo-mechanical properties with lightweight, which may be a future composite material for aerospace, especially UAVs technologies.

Before And After

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.

Firstly, I-RPT ultrasonic detector was used to test the wave velocity of karst limestone with different initial microstructure and water content. Then, RMT-150B rock testing machine and DS2-16B acoustic emission system were used to test the acoustic emission (AE) under uniaxial compression. Mechanical properties and AE characteristics were obtained during rock failure. The detailed relationship between stress-strain and AE characteristics was studied in this paper. Research results indicated the following: (1) For samples with many primary fissures and defects, wave velocity in dry state was larger than that in its natural state. From natural state to saturated state, the wave velocity tended to increase. For samples with good integrity, wave velocity increased with increasing of water content. (2) In the dry state, the samples presented tension failure. In saturated state, the samples presented tension-shear failure. For samples with cracks and good integrity, samples showed brittle failure. For samples with many corrosion pores which showed ductile damage under natural and saturated state, the spalling phenomenon was enhanced under saturated state. (3) With increasing of water content, the peak stress and AE peak reduced dramatically. In brittle failure, AE peak could be considered a sign of failure. In ductile failure, AE activity decreased gradually with the decrease of stress. (4) The mechanical properties and AE characteristics corresponding to four main fracture propagation types were also discussed.

Currently, the composite materials make important great strides, considering their high mechanical properties. The studies relating to the conceptual, technical aspect and modeling of their mechanical behavior are more than desirable. The mechanical properties of the composite material depend on several factors as the nature of fibers, the fiber/matrix ratio, compatibility, homogeneity... In this study, we present the results of an experimental analysis of the behavior of the composite material, under a static and a dynamic loading. The composite material is composed respectively of the glass and metal fiber reinforcement. A various dimensions of the mesh are considering. The resin used is polyester Resow 55 E. The dynamic test ( Knoop test) is carried out on various specimens made up of an polyester resin RESOW 55 E reinforced with varied powder nature. It makes it possible to measure the hardness of composite materials. The analysis of the results shows clearly that the mechanical properties are strongly influenced by the dimensions of the elementary mesh of the fiber grid reinforcement. Based on experimental results, a Weibull modulus has been established for each specimen.

The development of modern shipbuilding requires using new structural materials, superior to traditional ones. Polymeric composite materials are among the most promising. The article studies the mechanical properties of multilayer polymer composite materials made of glass fabrics under tension and the effect of the number of layers of glass mat on the tensile strength of the material. The technology of manufacturing samples from polymer composites reinforced with fiberglass plastic is being considered. The size and shape of the samples, the technological parameters of the manufacturing process, which depend on standard requirements, and the technological features of the testing machine are substantiated. It has been stated that fiberglass is the cheapest and most common type of composite materials, which does not require special maintenance, the cost of maintenance of fiberglass structures being significantly lower than that of steel structures. The method of testing the tensile strength of the samples has been studied. For conducting experiments, samples of glass mat brand EMC-600-1250-E were used. According to the study results, the mathematical dependence of tensile strength on the number of layers was established, and the most important stages of statistical processing of test results were laid out using the Minitab 18.1 software package. A graph of the relationship between the number of layers and tensile strength is presented. For all the examined samples the ultimate strength will depend on the number of layers. The results of mechanical properties can be used in solving problems associated with the application of polymer composite materials in shipbuilding, for example, in manufacturing superstructures of dry cargo vessels.
