By designing different formulations of composites and adopting optimized technology including extrusion and molding, the different composites with various content microcapsules were prepared. The results of the tensile tests show that with the increasing content of self-healing microcapsules in the glass fiber reinforced nylon composites, the mechanical properties of the composites will change, i.e. tensile strength, elastic modulus will decrease. But there is little effect on the mechanical properties of the composite gears if the content of self-healing microcapsules is less than 3.5%, and the technology of self-healing microcapsules used in the polymer composite gear is feasible.

Service Period

Fiber reinforced polymeric (FRP) composite materials are currently used in numerous structural and materials related applications. But, during their in-service period these composites were exposed to different changing environmental conditions. Present investigation is planned to explore the effect of thermal shock exposure on the mechanical properties of nanoTiO2 enhanced glass fiber reinforced polymeric (GFRP) composites. The samples were conditioned at +70°C temperature for 36 h followed by further conditioning at – 60°C temperature for the similar interval of time. In order to estimate the thermal shock influence on the mechanical properties, tensile tests of the conditioned samples were carried out at 1 mm/min loading rate. The polymer phase i.e. epoxy was modified with different nanoTiO2 content (i.e. 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 wt. %). The tensile strength of 0.1 wt.% nanoTiO2 GFRP filled composites exhibited higher ultimate tensile strength (UTS) among all other composites. The possible reason may be attributed to the good dispersion of nanoparticles in polymer matrix corresponds to proper stress transfer during thermal shock conditioning. In order to access the variations in the viscoelastic behavior and glass transition temperature due to the addition of nanoTiO2 in GFRP composite and also due to the thermal shock conditioning, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) measurements were carried out. Different modes of failures and strengthening morphology in the composites were analyzed under scanning electron microscope (SEM).

The tube is made of polymer composite material based on K-153 epoxy resin (K-153 epoxy resin is made from ED-20 epoxy resin modified by thiokol and oligomer acrylate), T-13 glassfiber, hardener polyethylenepolyaminemade by wrapping on machine. The effect of drying temperature on mechanical properties (tensile strength, flexural strength) of polymercomposite materialwas studied. The paper also mentions to select suitable hardener to beused for polymercomposite tube wrapping. The results show that the strength at break, flexural strength of polymercomposite material are changedmuch when changing wrapping angle. The drying temperature increases, the curing time of polymercomposite material is much reduced. The time to stabilize after drying also greatly affects the pressure resistance of polymer composite tubes. Keywords Polymercomposite, K-153, tensile strength, flexural strength, pressure resistance.

Mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymer rebar and bond behavior between the fiber-reinforced polymer rebar and concrete are highly related to rib parameters, including rib depth and rib spacing. Therefore, rib parameters should be taken into account when fiber-reinforced polymer bars are used as the structure reinforcement. In this article, the tensile properties of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer rebars with different rib depths and rib spacings are tested. The influences of different rib depths and rib spacings on the bond behavior between glass-fiber-reinforced polymer rebar and concrete are investigated by pull-out test. Experimental results show that the rib depth has a distinctive effect on the ultimate tensile strength, elastic modulus, and ultimate elongation of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer rebar. The tensile strength and elastic modulus of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer rebar with shallow rib are remarkably higher than those of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer bars with deep rib. However, compared with the glass-fiber-reinforced polymer bars with shallow rib, the glass-fiber-reinforced polymer bars with deep rib contribute larger bond strength with concrete. Besides, the bond strength and basic anchorage length are predicted by taking rib depth and rib spacing into account. A modified Bertero–Popov–Eligehausen model is adopted to simulate the bond stress–slip behavior, and the ascending branch of bond stress–slip curve expressed by rib depth and rib spacing is also proposed. The calculated results are in good agreement with the test ones.

In this research, self-healing due to further hydration of unhydrated cement particles is taken as an example for investigating the effects of capsules on the self-healing efficiency and mechanical properties of cementitious materials. The efficiency of supply of water by using capsules as a function of capsule dosages and sizes was determined numerically. By knowing the amount of water supplied via capsules, the efficiency of self-healing due to further hydration of unhydrated cement was quantified. In addition, the impact of capsules on mechanical properties was investigated numerically. The amount of released water increases with the dosage of capsules at different slops as the size of capsules varies. Concerning the best efficiency of self-healing, the optimizing size of capsules is 6.5 mm for capsule dosages of 3%, 5%, and 7%, respectively. Both elastic modulus and tensile strength of cementitious materials decrease with the increase of capsule. The decreasing tendency of tensile strength is larger than that of elastic modulus. However, it was found that the increase of positive effect (the capacity of inducing self-healing) of capsules is larger than that of negative effects (decreasing mechanical properties) when the dosage of capsules increases.

The effect of processing on the mechanical properties of Sigma 1140+ SiC fibres was studied through tensile tests carried out on pristine Sigma 1140+ SiC fibres and on fibres extracted from a Ti-6A1-4V-matrix composite. The elastic modulus and the tensile strength were computed after measuring carefully the fibre diameter. The characteristic fibre strength was reduced by 20% and the Weibull modulus by half during composite processing. The analysis of the fracture surfaces in the scanning electron microscope showed that the strength-limiting defects were located around the tungsten core in pristine fibres and predominantly at the surface in fibres extracted from the composite panels. These latter defects were nucleated by the mechanical stresses generated on the fibres during the panel consolidation.

In this article, bamboo fibre bundles of "Guadua Angustifolia Kunth" specie were isolated from different locations of the basa zone: upper, middle and lower, through mechanical extraction method. The elastic modulus and the tensile strength were obtained with preliminary tensile tests. Applying the statistical analysis known as ANOVA, it was determined that the mechanical properties are similar in all the extension of the basa zone. From there, fibre bundles were extracted randomly, and a part of the fibre bundles was treated with NaOH (mercerization). Later, tensile tests with different calibration lengths were made for calculate the elastic modulus and the tensile strength of the treated and untreated fibre bundles. Best results belonged to the treated fibre bundles. A good correspondence between the results obtained in this work and the results reported in the literature was concluded.

Two Factors

The object of this work is to study and predict the tensile properties (tensile strength, elastic modulus, and elongation at break) of ternary nanocomposites based on epoxy/glass fiber/nanosilica using the fuzzy logic (FL). Two factors in three levels including glass fiber at 0, 5, and 10 wt% and nanosilica at 0, 0.5, and 1 wt% were chosen for adding to an epoxy matrix. From FL surfaces, it was found that the glass fiber content had a main role in the tensile properties of nanocomposites. The high levels of glass fiber content led to a significant increase in the elastic modulus and generally, the presence of glass fiber decreased the tensile strength and elongation at break. Also, addition of the nanosilica content resulted in an increased elastic modulus but decreased the elongation at break of nanocomposites. Finally, an FL model was obtained for each tensile property.

In order to model and optimise the structural parameters of the working parts of agricultural machines, including harvesting machines, the mechanical properties of the culture harvested must be known. The purpose of this article is to determine the mechanical properties of the blueberry plant’s stem; more precisely the tensile strength and consequent elastic modulus E. In order to achieve this goal, the measuring instrument Instron 5969L2610 was used and accompanying software BlueHill 3 was used for analysing the test results. The tested blueberry plant’s stems were collected from the blueberry plantation of the Farm Marjasoo. The diameters of the stems were measured, test units were prepared, tensile tests were performed, tensile strength was determined and the elastic modulus was obtained. Average value of the elastic modulus of the blueberry (Northblue) plant’s stem remained in the range of 1268.27–1297.73 MPa.
