With the development of modern technology, fiberglass composite materials are widely applied. The advantages of fiberglass reinforced composite materials are high strength and light weight. In order to produce a prefabricated fiberglass composite, a machine chart was drafted for weaving the 3D fiberglass fabric with five layers. The obtained five-layer 3D fabrics were composited with polyurethane matrix. Afterwards, the performance of the prefabricated composites was tested and the optimal ratio of fiberglass to matrix was determined by statistical analysis.

Tubular products and process vessels built using fiber-reinforced composite materials provide significant advantages in applications that require corrosion resistance, high strength, and light weight. A design approach based on netting theory is presented which enables engineers to develop preliminary structural designs for these structures using composite materials. The integration of creep, cyclic loading, and environmental degradation factors into initial design calculations is also discussed and illustrated.

For the last three decades, composites have become very preferable materials to be used in the automotive industry, structural parts of aircraft and military systems and spacecraft, due to their high strength and modulus. Composite materials are sometimes exposed to invisible or visible damage due to impact loading during their service life. In this study, the effect of impactor geometry with four different contact surfaces on woven carbon fibre-reinforced composite plates having three different thicknesses are investigated. In the first stage, composite plates were manufactured with the ply orientations of [45/-45/0/90/45/-45]2s, [45/-45/0/90/45/-45]3s, [45/-45/0/90/45/-45]4s based on conventional usage. In the second stage, carbon fibre-reinforced composite test panels were exposed to low velocity impact tests to obtain force-time, energy-time and force-displacement curves. Finally, semi and full penetration of composite panels and damage magnitude were determined. It was found that the impactor geometries with lower contact surfaces such as conical and ogive types were much more penetrative on composite plates than the other geometries, but they caused larger damage area in the vicinity of the impact point.

Composites have been found to be the most promising and discerning material available in this century. Presently, composites reinforced with fibers of synthetic or natural materials are gaining more importance as demands for lightweight materials with high strength for specific applications are growing in the market. Fiber-reinforced polymer composite offers not only high strength to weight ratio, but also reveals exceptional properties such as high durability; stiffness; damping property; flexural strength; and resistance to corrosion, wear, impact, and fire. These wide ranges of diverse features have led composite materials to find applications in mechanical, construction, aerospace, automobile, biomedical, marine, and many other manufacturing industries. Performance of composite materials predominantly depends on their constituent elements and manufacturing techniques, therefore, functional properties of various fibers available worldwide, their classifications, and the manufacturing techniques used to fabricate the composite materials need to be studied in order to figure out the optimized characteristic of the material for the desired application. An overview of a diverse range of fibers, their properties, functionality, classification, and various fiber composite manufacturing techniques is presented to discover the optimized fiber-reinforced composite material for significant applications. Their exceptional performance in the numerous fields of applications have made fiber-reinforced composite materials a promising alternative over solitary metals or alloys.

Advanced rotor systems, for such applications as high-speed flywheel systems, consist (in a basic fashion) of a lightweight rotor spinning at relatively high speeds and supported by magnetic bearings. Composite materials are an extremely attractive choice for such rotor designs, offering high strength with light-weight. However, there are a number of issues that must be addressed for such efforts to be successful. Specific issues include imbalance control and active techniques to suppress internal damping-induced instability. A detailed description of the problem being considered and a strategy for solving it are presented. Simulation modeling and analysis results are presented and discussed to illustrate the method and demonstrate its effectiveness.

Recently, composite materials are used in many fields because their properties are high strength, high stiffness, and they have light weight, good corrosion resistance and good thermal conductivity. However, composite materials have relatively a lot of problems, especially delamination, compared with common materials such as a steel and aluminum, etc. Therefore, having the interlaminar fracture toughness for a laminate composite is important. In this study, the end notched flexure (ENF) specimens are employed in order to evaluate modeⅡ interlaminar fracture toughness for CFRP laminate composites. Three kinds of a/L ratio were applied to these specimens under the different pressure level. Also, we discuss the relation of crack growth and the interlaminar fracture toughness in terms of AE characteristics using ENF test.

The purpose of this study is to apply a new design method, which integrates both optimum strength and product design. Here, the collaboration of design and strength by using composite materials is administered. Many products, which are made from high strength composite materials, require new product design technology. Existing product developments tend to separate product design from product planning. The process begins from planning the shape of the product, then calculating the strength, and lastly designing the product. In our new design method, we create from an engineering point of view. By using a design method of high-strength materials, we designed a new ZIGZAG CHAIR made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic of excellent strength and light-weight.

The formation of organic-inorganic hybrid composite with ceramic platelets and polymeric compound can have the higher strength and higher elasticity than metal, which is a nanocomposite with high strength and light weight. Ceramic platelet such as Al2O3has been used to form organic-inorganic composite material using PMMA as an organic polymer. Bending strength and density of the composites prepared by infiltration and post-warm pressing were measured. FE-SEM and TG analysis were carried out to determine the microstructure of the organic-inorganic composite materials. Bending strengths and densities of the composites prepared by Al2O3ceramic plate and PMMA after post-warm pressing were ~70MPa and ranged from 2.4 to 2.6, respectively.

In these paper, composite structures for conventional metallic structures has many advantages because of higher specific stiffness and strength of composite materials is discussed. The automobile industry has shown increased interest in the replacement of steel spring with fiberglass composite leaf spring due to high strength to weight ratio. This work deals with the replacement of conventional steel leaf spring with a Mono Composite leaf spring using E-Glass/Epoxy. The design parameters were selected and analyzed with the objective of minimizing weight of the composite leaf spring as compar

In the present scenario composite materials has got a good value in making a high strength component. Kevlar fibre reinforced composite have a good property of making materials with high strength and low weight. With proper fabrication these Kevlar fibres will produce good property in making components that will be used for specific applications. Our project is dealt with the preparation of a laminate using Kevlar fibre reinforced composite in 0o-90o orientation by using epoxy resin as adhesive and to analyze the mechanical properties of that particular laminate and study that it has high mechanical properties or not. Main objective of this project is to make a composite laminate with high strength, high stiffness, and low weight for various applications.
