Composite material is a material that has a multi-phase system composed of reinforcing materials and matrix materials. Causes the composite materials to have advantages in various ways such as low density, high mechanical properties, performance comparable to metal, corrosion resistance, and easy to fabricate. In the marine and fisheries industry, composite materials made from fiber reinforcement, especially fiberglass, have proven to be very special and popular in boat construction because they have the advantage of being chemically inert (both applied in general and marine environments), light, strong, easy to print, and price competitiveness. Thus in this study, tensile and impact methods were used to determine the mechanical properties of fiberglass polymer composite materials. Each test is carried out on variations in the amount of fiberglass laminate CSM 300, CSM 450 and WR 600 and variations in weight percentage 99.5% -0.5%, 99% -1%, 98.5% -1, 5%, 98% -2% and 97.5%-2.5% have been used. The results showed that the greater the number of laminates, the greater the impact strength, which was 413,712 MPa, and the more the percentage of hardener, the greater the impact strength, which was 416,487 MPa. The results showed that the more laminate the tensile strength increased, which was 87.054 MPa, and the more the percentage of hardener, the lower the tensile strength, which was 73.921 MPa.

We study experimentally the influence of mass fraction of L-20 hardener cold cure on mechanical properties of epoxy diane resin ED-20. We measure the hardness, tensile strength, bending strength and impact strength of resin at different values of the hardener mass fraction. It is found that the ratio hardener mass fraction of 1:0.9 leads to the highest values of the hardness, tensile strength, compressive strength and bending strength. The impact viscosity is maximum at the ratio hardener mass fraction of 1:0.8. The optimal ratio of a non-toxic safe hardener to the resin is derived based on obtained mechanical characteristics.

This study investigated the mechanical behavior of the treated and untreated kenaf with different matrix resin (epoxy and polyester) using the tensile and low velocity test. The long kenaf fibre was treated with 6% of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution for twelve hours in room temperature. The tensile properties of composites at different weight percentage (10,15,20 and 25%) were studied by using Instron Universal Testing Machine according to the standard ASTM D638. Impact test was conducted using an instrumented drop tower device at 10J incident energy level according to the standard ASTM D3763. The results of the study indicated that the epoxy resin reinforced with treated kenaf fibre exhibited higher tensile properties. On the other hand, the impact properties of polyester resin reinforced with treated kenaf fibre show better matrix bonding compared to those with epoxy resin matrices.

The Difference

The tensile strength and flexural strength are the most important mechanical properties as they provide the value of maximum tensile stress and flexural stress. The objective of this study is to analyze statistically the tensile strength and flexural strength data obtained from a universal testing machine. The tests were conducted upon a thermoplastic, specifically high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which was in-house molded by using an injection-molding machine. Three different persons have performed the tensile and flexural tests. Three other laboratories have also been involved in these tests. The relative standard deviation (RSD) values were calculated to express the precision and repeatability of the tests. Later, the standard score (z-score) values were also calculated to aid the comparison of the data. Finally, the single-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to investigate statistically significant differences between the means of the tensile strength and flexural strength data of each person and laboratory. From the calculation, the RSD values of all three persons and laboratories were lower than 5%, indicating that the data were consistent. The z-score values of all three persons were within the range from -2 to 2, suggesting that the data were close to average. However, the z-score value for one of three laboratories was not within the range, demonstrating that the data was unusual. The P-values of all three persons were higher than 0.05 (except for flexural strength), implying that the difference between the means of the data was not statistically significant. Nevertheless, the P-values of all three laboratories were lower than 0.05, indicating that the difference between the means of the data was statistically significant.
