The paper evaluated the possibility of potential reinforcing of poly(oxymethylene) (POM) by glass fiber and the influence of fiberglass addition on mechanical properties under dynamic load. Four types of composites with glass fiber and another four with carbon fiber were produced. The fiber content ranged from 5% to 40% by weight. In the experimental part, the basic mechanical and fatigue properties of POM-based composites were determined. The impact of water absorption was also investigated. The influence of fiber geometry on the mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced composites of various diameters was determined. To refer to the effects of reinforcement and determine the features of the structure scanning electron microscopy images were taken. The results showed that the addition of up to 10 wt %. fiberglass increases the tensile properties and impact strength more than twice, the ability to absorb energy also increases in relation to neat poly(oxymethylene). Fiber geometry also has a significant impact on the mechanical properties. The study of the mechanical properties at dynamic loads over time suggests that composites filled with a smaller fiber diameter have better fatigue properties.

Effects Of Aging

The effects of aging on the fatigue property of polymer modified asphalt mixtures are investigated in this paper. Two kinds of aging procedures are adopted for the aging of specimens prepared with polymer modified asphalt mixtures. One is the short-time aging which means that the hot asphalt mixtures was heated in the oven for 4 hours at 135°C before compacted; The other called natural aging, with the original specimen exposed in the sunlight and subjected to the rain and temperature change for 3, 6 and 9 months. Four-Point Bending Test was conducted to evaluate fatigue properties of aged asphalt mixtures at 15°C compared with the original specimens. Test results indicate that the fatigue line of aged specimens have the same tendency as the original asphalt mixtures. However, the life of aged specimen is decreased significantly when compared with the original ones, especially of the natural aged specimens.

The conductive behavior of asphalt concrete can be improved with the addition of conductive materials, thus a multifunctional asphalt-based composite can be obtained. The conductive asphalt-based composite modified by graphite was studied extensively. Conductive materials percentages may have influences on performance of asphalt mixture. The performance of an asphalt pavement is significantly affected by its resistance to permanent deformation and its fatigue performance. The paper presents the results of a project aimed at investigating static and dynamic response as cracking and fatigue behaviors of conductive asphalt-based composite using the ITT. In particular ITT were performed in which the graphite percentages, loading mode was varied. As test results indicate that the addition of graphite shows positive influence on the indirect tensile strength, failure stiffness modulus in static loading test, especially in high loading speed. The number of load cycles to fatigue failure presents a bit decrease with graphite percentages in dynamic loading test. After adding discontinuous carbon fibers, conductive asphalt-based composite shows good fatigue property, which can prevent crack propagation. It can be concluded that the combined modification brings reinforcement effect to asphalt concrete and improves its mechanical and fatigue properties.

Hybrid Reinforcement

There is a constant effort to improve the performance of asphalt-concrete (AC) mixtures. Among various modifiers for asphalt, fibers have received much attention for their improving effects. This paper introduces the novel concept of hybrid reinforcement of AC mixtures using polypropylene (PP) and glass fibers. Individually, glass fiber reinforced AC and PP fiber modified AC mixtures have exhibited superior performance compared to other fiber reinforced samples. Therefore, in this work, these two types of fibers were used simultaneously to improve the performance of the AC mixtures. This type of hybrid AC composite can be engineered by taking advantage of the tacky property of PP fiber around its melting point and the high modulus of glass fiber. In this way, PP fibers with the length of 12 mm were blended with bitumen at different percentages. Glass fibers with the length of 12 mm were also added to aggregates. Marshall and Specific Gravity tests were performed on hybrid reinforced asphalt-concrete (HRAC) samples by taking advantage of a Superpave Gyratory Compactor. In the case of the bituminous specimens, penetration, softening point and ductility tests were carried out. The results revealed that PP fibers decrease penetration and ductility of modified bitumen, while the softening point value is increased compared to unmodified bitumen specimen. Marshall Test results illustrate that PP can statistically affect the properties and improve the consistency of the mixture. Using a combination of 0.1% of glass fiber plus 6% of PP presented the best hybrid reinforcement through increasing stability and decreasing flow. Therefore, it is concluded that this novel HRAC is suitable for use in hot regions due to growth in the void total mix (VTM) and stability.

Asphalt Mix

Moisture damage and low-temperature cracking are common distresses experienced by road pavement. Different types of modifiers, such as fibers, can be used to improve the quality of asphalt pavements. In this paper, lignin and glass fiber were selected as additives to enhance the water- and low-temperature stability of the asphalt mixtures. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the composite effects of adding lignin fiber and glass fiber to a bituminous mix using experimental methods. The Marshall immersion, freeze–thaw splitting, and three-point bending tests were applied to evaluate the efficiency of lignin fiber (and/or) glass fiber modified asphalt mixes with regard to moisture damage and low temperature. Four kinds of asphalt mixtures, namely, the control asphalt mix (C), lignin fiber modified asphalt mix (L), glass fiber modified asphalt mix (G), and a composite of lignin fiber and glass fiber modified asphalt mix (LG) were evaluated. The experimental results showed that with the addition of 0.30% lignin fiber and 0.30% glass fiber the water stability, low-temperature stability, and quality of bituminous mix were improved significantly. With lignin fiber, the asphalt mixtures showed better resistance to thermal cracking, while glass fiber resulted in greater moisture susceptibility. The composite admixture was more effective than either lignin or glass fiber in modifying the asphalt performance. This clarifies the great beneficial effect of using the composite mixture in the asphalt mixtures industry.

In this study, Nylon 6 (PA6) was reinforced with glass fibers and molded using different injection parameters. The PA6 samples were then subjected to fatigue tests, and the results were processed to study (i) how the glass fibers affected the PA6 fatigue displacement and (ii) which injection parameters influenced the PA6 fatigue property. To do so, single-factor experimental designs were implemented in which the control factors were the glass-fiber percentage, the melt temperature, the hold pressure, the hold time, the injection pressure, and the injection time. Correlational analyses were used to predict the relationships between the control factors and fatigue results. A two-factor design was then applied to determine the two factors that influenced the PA6 fatigue displacement the most, with analysis of variance being used to determine how the factors affected the fatigue property. In this study of injection plastic, the glass-fiber percentage of PA6 composite was found to be the main factor that affected the fatigue displacement the most.

The fatigue property of rectangular section beam for semi-flexible cold recycling mixtures has been analyzed basing on damage-fracture mechanics principles. Fatigue models of rectangular section beam have been put forward respectively, which includes both macroscopic cracks appearance and propagation process. Then parameters for fatigue models have been determined by the standard test for determining fatigue failure of compacted asphalt concrete subjected to repeated flexural bending. Finally, a fatigue life estimate formula of rectangular section beam is proposed by using mathematical decoupling method. Results indicate that the fatigue damage process play an important role in the whole fatigue process. Also, damage-fracture mechanics principles and methods are suitable for estimating the fatigue property of modified asphalt emulsion-cement cold recycling mixtures, which has a definite guiding purpose for projects.

Short glass fiber reinforced plastics (SGFRP) offer superior mechanical properties compared to polymers, while still also enabling almost unlimited geometric variations of components at large-scale production. PA6-GF30 represents one of the most used SGFRP for series components, but the impact of injection molding process parameters on the fatigue properties is still insufficiently investigated. In this study, various injection molding parameter configurations were investigated on PA6-GF30. To take the significant frequency dependency into account, tension–tension fatigue tests were performed using multiple amplitude tests, considering surface temperature-adjusted frequency to limit self-heating. The frequency adjustment leads to shorter testing durations as well as up to 20% higher lifetime under fatigue loading. A higher melt temperature and volume flow rate during injection molding lead to an increase of 16% regarding fatigue life. In situ Xray microtomography analysis revealed that this result was attributed to a stronger fiber alignment with larger fiber lengths in the flow direction. Using digital volume correlation, differences of up to 100% in local strain values at the same stress level for different injection molding process parameters were identified. The results prove that the injection molding parameters have a high influence on the fatigue properties and thus offer a large optimization potential, e.g., with regard to the component design.
