Statistical Analysis of Some Mechanical Characteristics of Glass Fiber Reinforced Composites

This paper presents the results of the experimental researches obtained in the three-point test of the glass-fiber-reinforced polymeric composites. Mathematical modeling of experimental results was performed using a virtual instrument (VI) developed in the graphical programming language called LabVIEW. In order to process the experimental data and display the results, the virtual instrument (VI) allows both the reading of experimental data from a saved text file from the same folder as the current VI file and the direct entry of experimental values into a control element disposed on its front panel. The virtual instrument described in this article is part of a more complex project used for the mathematical modeling of the experimental data obtained in determining the physic-mechanical characteristics of glass fiber randomly reinforced polymeric composites.

A previously proposed micromechanical formula, aiming to predict the vaporization energy Qv of composite materials as a function of fiber and matrix properties and fiber volume ratio, was assessed. The experimental data, obtained on glass fiber reinforced plastic panels with different fiber contents cut by a medium power CO2 cw laser, were treated according to a procedure previously suggested, in order to evaluate Qv. An excellent agreement was found between experimental and theoretical Qv values. Theory was then used to predict the response to laser cutting of a composite material with a fiber content varying along the thickness. The theoretical predictions indicated that, in this case, the interpretation of the experimental results may be misleading, bringing to errors in the evaluation of the material thermal properties, or in the prediction of the kerf depth. Some experimental data were obtained, confirming the theoretical findings.
