This research paper deals with an investigation of the influence of honeycomb core compression on the mechanical properties of sandwich structures. These structures consist of prepreg facing layers and two different material types of honeycomb and are produced by modified compression molding called Crush-Core technology. Produced structures are mechanically tested in three-point bending test and subjected to low-velocity impact and Charpy impact test.

In this paper, the effect  of modified nanosilica as a reinforcement agent on the performance of epoxy resin using tetrabutyl titanate (TBuT) hardener were investigated. Morphology of the epoxy/modified silica composites was determined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) method. Impact strength and flexural strength of the composites were measured by Charpy impact test and three-point bending test mode methods, respectively. Fracture toughness and fracture energy were calculated according to pre-cracked, single edge notched method with specimens in three-point bending geometry and suitable equations. The mechanical properties and fracture toughness of composites were significantly enhanced with loading nanosilica content to 5 wt.%.

The wood is one of the most favourable structural material. It appears on all fields of the ordinary life. It is difficult to say an application where the wood is not used due to its cheap price, availability and just simply the beauty. Beside of the wide range of process technologies a new process appeared. This process changes the properties of the material and brings many new applications to this traditional material. This process is the compression of the structural wood material. This publication deals with the effect of the compression on the mechanical properties of two hardwoods (beech: fagus sylvatica, oak: quercus) by the help of the three-point bending test and the Charpy impact test.

This paper presents an experimental investigation of mechanical and impact properties of carbon and Kevlar-glass composites prepared from pre-impregnated materials. Namely, flexural performance in three-point bending at different temperatures is evaluated. Moreover, Charpy impact test and low-velocity impact test are also conducted for classification of impact properties and character of rupture. These all properties are important for material design of sport bike rims and many sport and other applications.

AbstractIn this paper, the mechanical properties and microstructures of AISI4140 low alloy steel under different tempering conditions are investigated. The samples are quenched, tempered to a martensite structure and loaded to fracture by means of Charpy machine according to standard test. Fractography analysis showed that the morphology fracture surface was changed by increasing tempering temperature. The variation of energy of Charpy impact fracture as a function of tempering temperature exhibits minimum values at 300 °C, which suggests the occurrence of temper embrittlement.

The effect of different layers of glass cloth on carbon fiber reinforced hybrid composite core is studied in this work. Carbon fiber reinforced hybrid composite of different glass cloth content is made by pultrusion processing. Three point bending test and charpy impact test are taken to evaluate the toughness of different composite, and scanning electronic micro-scopy (SEM) and photograph are carried out to characterize the structure of different composite after destroyed. It is shown that, though at the cost of drop of tensile strength, the increase of glass cloth content in carbon fiber reinforced hybrid composite core improves the flexural strength and impact resistant, and does not affect the microscope destroy pattern and the microscopic structure of failure samples.

A study was carried out to examine the influence of rewelding deposit of structural low carbon steel and also the changes which occur in heat-affected zone and subcritical zone during rewelding. Optical metallography, microhardness Vickers method and Charpy impact test were employed to analyze these differences. The results show that rewelding deposit increased the heat-affected zone and fine coarse grain heat-affected zone and also has influence on impact toughness of substrate and their microhardness. Again, it was found that rewelding increased the fine coarse grain heat-affected zone. This effect resulted in increasing impact toughness in the heat-affected zone. However, submicroscopic change in substrate ferrite showed decreasing impact toughness.

Engine mounting is one of the car component which is has optimize function to obtain thesystem in the car is extremely perfect. The engine mounting has to be have behavior ductile by strongestenough to support the car engine whether in rest and moving position. To obtain car engine mountingwhich has these function it has to be treated by treatment. The method was used by using Heat TreatmentSystem which we were Hardening and Tempering. Heat treatment of engine mounting is needed toanalyze the microstructure and mechanical properties of low carbon steel used. Tests carried out attemperatures of 800oC, 850oC, 900oC and normal conditions without heat treatment. Then continued withimpact charpy testing, vickers hardness testing, microstructure observation using microscope and SEM.The tests are carried out in accordance with ASTM E23, ASTM E92, ASTM A370 standards. The Vickerstest results provide the lowest HV value of 118.7Hv at 900oC, while the normal condition is at 137.409Hv.The charpy impact test results give the lowest value of 0.06 j / mm2 under normal conditions, while at900oC at 0.0962 j / mm2. The results with microscopy and SEM, the greater the temperature given to heattreatment, the less pearlite will be, while the amount of ferrite and austenite increases which makes theengine mounting more toughness.

A semirigid solar array is an efficient energy system on the surface of stratospheric airships for utilizing the solar energy, which we believe that it has succeeded in providing some impressive results for conceptual design. This paper developed a lightweight photovoltaic composite structure (LPCS) according to the characteristics of the stratospheric airship capsule. In order to improve the flexibility of the solar cell, we studied the mechanical properties in the different thicknesses of the honeycomb core for LPCS by FEM software and three-point bending test, and we also launched experiments to measure the temperature difference between upper and lower surfaces of the LPCS test samples under different solar radiation flux conditions. The experimental data were examined to evaluate the mechanical properties and thermal insulation performances of LPCS. Considering the quality of the whole structure, the paper finally comes up with the conclusion of the optimal thickness of the honeycomb core with further detailed descriptions.
