This article presents the bending strength and flexural properties of the glued T-type spruce loose tenon construction joints with and without reinforced plastic clamp fitting. Construction joints are designed according to Eurocode 5. The samples are made from European spruce (Picea abies Karst.) C24 class construction material with relative wood moisture 18% and relative wood density 410 kg/m3. Samples are assembled with water/high temperature resistant polyurethane adhesive and polyvinyl acetate dispersion adhesive. The total number of samples is 48. The sample width is 95mm and thickness is 45mm. Samples were subjected to moisture, weight controls and 48h stored in the climate chamber before practical bending load test. T-type loose tenon joint construction samples with reinforced plastic clamp fittings glued with polyurethane adhesive under bending load are 2.6% stronger and 13.8% less flexural then without reinforced plastic clamp fittings. T-type loose tenon joint construction samples with reinforced plastic clamp fittings glued with polyvinyl acetate dispersion adhesive under bending load are 9.7% weaker and 20% less flexural then without reinforced plastic clamp fittings. The accuracy of the developed bending strength, deformability and elasticity modulus of the examined construction joints was verified positively by experimental studies.

It is foreseen that the properties of Polymer Concrete (PC) can be further enhanced if the PC is bonded to or sandwiched between Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) laminates, later termed as PC-GFRP system. In the present investigation, the performance of PC-GFRP was assessed in terms of its bending strength and bonding strength between PC and GFRP. Panels of PC size 500 mm × 500 mm × 20 mm were prepared. The panels then were cut into specimens of appropriate geometry and dimensions required for the tests. Four (4) different resin contents and different percentages of aggregate of different particle size distributions were employed in preparing the PC-GFRP specimens. A batch of PC specimens was layered with a Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) laminate on one side (SSL) and the other batch PC specimens were sandwiched with two GFRP laminates (DSL). The PC-GFRP specimens were tested their bending strength under three-point load test and bonding strength between PC as a core material and glued GFRP laminate(s). The results showed that an increase in the resin content increases the bending strength of the PC regardless of the aggregate grading. The results also revealed that the PC specimens with well-graded aggregate recorded the highest bending strength, with coarser grading resulted in further increase. The bending strength of the PC-GFRP system improved significantly when the PC was externally reinforced with a GFRP laminate (SSL) but did not improve further when another layer of GFRP laminate was applied (DSL). The bonding strength between PC and GFRP was found to be increased as the resin content increases and the GFRP laminate bonded better to the PC as a core material if made of the overall aggregate size.

Fiber-reinforced plastics consist of fibers of high strength and modulus embedded in, or bonded to a matrix with distinct interfaces between them. Because fiber configuration plays a key role in determining mechanical strength of fiber-reinforced plastic rods, especially bending strength of fiber-reinforced plastic rods was measured and simulated numerically in variation with winding angles. Also, stress distribution in fiber-reinforced plastic rods was simulated numerically under the condition of constant bending load to fiber-reinforced plastic rods. The measured bending strength of fiber-reinforced plastic rods in variation with winding angles was different from that of simulated. The difference between measured and simulated results was due to the effect of shear stresses on the strength of fiber-reinforced plastic rods.

Nowadays, demands in the application of fibre in concrete increase gradually as an engineering material. Rapid cost increment of material causes the increase in demand of new technology that provides safe, efficient and economical design for the present and future application. The introduction of ribbed slab reduces concrete materials and thus the cost, but the strength of the structure also reduces due to the reducing of material. Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) has the ability to maintain a part of its tensile strength prior to crack in order to resist more loading compared to conventional concrete. Meanwhile, the ribbed slab can help in material reduction. This research investigated on the bending strength of 2-ribbed and 3-ribbed concrete slab with steel fibre reinforcement under static loading with a span of 1500 mm and 1000 mm x 75 mm in cross section. An amount of 40 kg/m steel fibre of all total concrete volume was used as reinforcement instead of conventional bars with concrete grade 30 N/mm2. The slab was tested under three-point bending. Load versus deflection curve was plotted to illustrate the result and to compare the deflection between control and ribbed slab. This research shows that SFRC Ribbed Slab capable to withstand the same amount of load as normal slab structure, although the concrete volume reduces up to 20%.

When the surface of a ship meets the water surface at an acute angle with a high relative velocity, significant short-duration forces can act on the hull plating. Such an event is referred to as a slam. Slam loads imparted on ships are generally considered to be of an impulsive nature. As such, slam loads induce vibration in the global hull structure that has implications for both hull girder bending strength and fatigue life of a vessel. A modal method is often used for structural analysis whereby higher order modes are neglected to reduce computational effort. The effect of the slam load temporal distribution on the whipping response and vertical bending moment are investigated here by using a continuous beam model with application to a 112 m INCAT wave-piercing catamaran and correlation to full-scale and model-scale experimental data. Experimental studies have indicated that the vertical bending moment is dominated by the fundamental longitudinal bending mode of the structure. However, it is shown here that although the fundamental mode is dominant in the global structural response, the higher order modes play a significant role in the early stages of the response and may not be readily identifiable if measurements are not taken sufficiently close to the slam location. A relationship between the slam duration and the relative modal response magnitudes is found, which is useful in determining the appropriate truncation of a modal solution.

Experimental studies of the influence of external climatic factors, taking into account exposure, on the change in the bending strength of control and microwave – treated carbon and fiberglass samples in the cured state were performed. An increase in the limit stresses of three – point bending of experimental carbon fiber samples compared to the control ones was found by 7…12 %, and fiberglassby 4…7 %. It is shown that with an increase in exposure to 14 months, the strength of control samples of carbon and fiberglass decreases by an average of 10 %. At the same time, the strength of the prototypes is reduced only by 4.4 %. With an increase in the moisture content of both control and experimental samples, a decrease in their strength is observed. In this case, the linear correlation is average (from– 0.44 to – 0.615). It is established that for experimental samples, the influence of the amount of absorbed moisture on the strength is manifested to a much lesser extent. For carbon fiber, the reduction is 16.6 %, for fiberglass – 12 %.

The residual stresses in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), based on VTkU-2.200 carbon fiber and VSC-14 cyanate ester resin, modified by nanoscale additives (astralen) were studied. Natural exposure was performed in a moderately cold climate. The influence of nanoadditives on mechanical and physical CFRP’s properties after 9 months of climatic testing was studied using the following properties: three-point bending strength, compression strength, coefficient of linear thermal expansion, glass transition temperature and residual stresses parameters. The increase of residual stresses after climatic testing was revealed.

Introduction (problem statement and relevance). Wheels are components that ensure the safety of vehicles. One of the main ways to test the fatigue strength of wheels is a rotating bending load test. The methodology of these tests, regulated by international and national regulatory documents, allows an indirect method for measuring the normalized force effect on the wheels, in which there are always risks of methodological errors.The purpose of the study was to identify potential sources of methodological errors when testing wheels in the bending-rotating mode.Methodology and research methods. Analytical research methods from the field of practical vibration theory were used in the article, considering the critical state of rotating shafts and rotors. Scientific novelty and results. The sources of potential methodological errors and their relationship with the design characteristics of the bench equipment and the wheel itself were determined.Practical significance. Practical recommendations have been given on the change and control of the stand components design characteristics aimed at minimizing errors. The high-speed test modes were determined, in which the error of the test effect on the wheel did not go beyond the normative limits.

Experiments were conducted to investigate the convective heat transfer of radially outward and inward air flows in a uniformly heated rotating square duct. The interior duct surfaces, constructed by fiberglass-reinforced plastic, were plated with separated film heaters for distinguishing the local wall heat transfer rate. The duct hydraulic diameter, the actively heated length, and the mean rotation radius are 4, 120, and 180 mm, respectively. In the experiments, the parameters were the throughflow Reynolds number, Re = 1,000∼15,000; the rotation number, Ro = 0∼0.32; and the rotational buoyancy parameter, Ra* = 0∼0.5. For the outward flow the Coriolis-induced cross-stream secondary flow strongly enhanced the heat transfer on the leading edge. But for the radially inward flow the trend was reversed. When the throughflow Reynolds number was increased, the rotating-buoyancy decreased, then increased the heat transfer for the outward flow; however, the rotating-buoyancy always increased the heat transfer for the inward flow. The heat transfer data are correlated for the outward and inward flows for the ranges of parameters under study.

Calcium sulfate dehydrate β (CaSO4. 0,5H2O) is a material obtained from the calcination of gypsite (CaSO4.2H2O). This is a low cost ceramic material very used in building industry. The improvement of their applications is of fundamental technological interest. Polymers are an interesting alternative of reinforcement. Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) is an addition polymer obtained by the polymerization of vinyl acetate. This polymer is well known to achieve good adhesion to cellulosic surfaces. The aim of this work was to evaluate the mechanical properties of porous plaster bodies reinforced with PVAc. Mechanical behavior was characterized by compression and bending strength. Three water / gypsum ratios: 0.5 0.6 and 0.7 were used on this work. An amount of 5% and 10% PVAc promoted increase on the mechanical properties of gypsum. Higher amounts polymer promoted further decrease of the mechanical properties.
