Based on the Voronoi cell finite element can also reflect fiber reinforced composites interface to take off the layer and matrix crack propagation of the new cell (X-VCFEM cell)[1]. Combined with the re-mesh strategy and grid dynamic technology, Simulated analysis in different inclusion quantity, interface crack propagation for fiber reinforced composites, the results show that for the model with four,nine,sisteen,twenty-five and thirty-six voronoi cell, The horizontal tension was not the largest; For only a Voronoi cell, The size of the horizontal tension was the largest.The result was very important reference value for manufacturing process and engineering application of fiber reinforced composite materials.

Based on the Voronoi cell finite element can also reflect fiber reinforced composites interface to take off the layer and matrix crack propagation of the new cell (X-VCFEM cell)[1]. Combined with the re-mesh strategy and grid dynamic technology, Simulated analysis in different angles and different depth-width ratio, interface crack propagation for fiber reinforced composites, the results show that when 0˚< < 90˚, the horizontal tension increases with the increasing; When 90˚< < 180˚, the horizontal tension decreases with the increasing; And when =90˚, the horizontal tension was the largest; the horizontal tension increases with the depth-width ratio increasing. The result was very important reference value for manufacturing process and engineering application of fiber reinforced composite materials.

Drilling of fiber reinforced composite materials presents a plethora of questions to the engineers and scientists. A number of research endeavors have been made in the recent years to fully characterize the drilling process of fiber reinforced composite materials. The efforts have been made in the direction of optimization of the operating variables and conditions for minimizing the drilling induced damages. This paper presented the delamination analysis of drilled holes in coir fiber-reinforced polyester composites. The results indicated that the delamination factor in coir fiber-reinforced composites is lower comparing with glass fiber reinforced composites.

Composite materials are made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties. The materials work together to give the composite more excellent properties than its components.Fiber reinforced composite materials constitute a widely used group of the composites. There are many researches about fiber reinforced composites. This study focused on fiber reinforced composite materials used in architecture unlike other researches. It was aimed to specify the benefits of the fiber composite materials for architecture and discussed several recent developments related to these materials. A literature review was made by grouping composites materials. The study reported that more research is needed for fiber reinforced composites to improve their technical performance, environmental and economic properties.

High strength, high toughness, and low weight make fiber-reinforced composite materials important as an alternative to traditional materials. Due to their application in different fields, such as construction, aviation, marine, automotive technologies and biomedicine, their production has increased leading to the increasement of composite wastes. New technologies for managing fiber-reinforced composite wastes have been developed to solve the issue of end-of-life of these materials. The aim of this paper is to emphasize recycling technologies used for fiber reinforced composites, and their potential reusage.

Composite materials are often used in the construction industry nowadays. Including such industries as construction of bridges – unique structures. Today it is possible to produce from FRP not only separate bridge parts and single structural elements, but also entire span structures and one-piece composite bridges made as a monoblock element. The architecture of contemporary footbridges built with the use of fiber reinforced composite plastics in recent decades is being studied and analyzed in the article. The case-study examines the history of plastic composites as structural materials and the trends and evolution of the design of plastic products. The paper proposes a classification of modern pedestrian bridges made of fiber reinforced composites (based on a combination of innovation in the use of materials and in the design). The following three classes are distinguished: composite materials + traditional design; composite and traditional materials + hybrid design; composite materials + new design. The most recent examples of objects belonging to each of the three groups identified in the classification were reviewed and analyzed in course of the study (including contemporary Russian examples of composite pedestrian bridges). Particular attention is paid to the most advanced technologies, such as 3D-printing of composite bridges, as well as a number of other contemporary experimental production methods. The experience of scientists and manufacturers from Germany, Spain, Great Britain, China and other regions of the world has been studied. Further research and application of modern fiber-reinforced composites in combination with the latest production technologies of 3D-printing and computer parametric design can contribute to the development of modern bridge construction, which would be helpful for expanding the typology of structures and improving the design of new structures.

The inspection of thin basalt fiber reinforced composite materials was carried out using two nondestructive methods: terahertz time domain imaging and infrared thermography. In order to combine the information about the defects arising in examined materials the inspection results were parametrized. In order to acquire more information content, new approximation based features are proposed. Then, a knowledge extraction based multivariate analysis of preselected features’ vector was carried out. Finally, in order to integrate features distributions of representing different dynamic level of information, a multiresolution wavelet based data fusion algorithm was applied. The results are presented and discussed.

Attention has been focused recently on the interphase in continuous, unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites. In this study, the interphase region is modeled as a non-homogeneous, orthotropic material with continuously varying properties. A previously proposed solution method is used to determine the local stress fields in the constituents - the fiber, interphase and matrix - and the results are presented.


Nowadays, Natural Fiber Reinforced composites (NFCs) are emerging to be a good substitute for synthetic fiber reinforced composites as NFCs have many advantages such as low density, high specific strength, recyclability, low cost and good sound abatement quality etc. Among all types of NFCs, a vast study has been done on banana fiber and kenaf fiber reinforced composite. However, only limited work has been done on the banana fabric, kenaf fiber reinforced composite and the effect of their hybridization on mechanical properties. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the mechanical properties of the banana fabric, kenaf fiber and hybrid banana fabric/kenaf fiber reinforced composites. Effect of alkali treatment on kenaf fiber reinforced composite is discussed in the paper. For the present work, plain-woven banana fabric and randomly oriented kenaf fiber are used as reinforcement while the epoxy resin is used as a matrix. samples are fabricated using hand lay-up and vacuum bagging method. Curing is done at ambient temperature (250C-300C) for 48h. Tensile, impact and hardness test has been performed on a specimen according to ASTM standards. Improvement in mechanical properties is observed after alkali (6% NaOH) treatment on kenaf fiber reinforced composite. Tensile testing behavior of randomly oriented kenaf fiber composite has been studied using Finite element method and results are compared with experimental investigations. This topic present big potential because it seeks to find solution for sustainable development with environmental concerns.
