This paper is focused on the use of special composite materials for the construction of aircraft components. It focuses on measuring and testing the strength of reinforced composite materials used in damaged aircraft parts repairs. To determine the layer required to repair a part of the aircraft, it is necessary to know the strength limit of the material and its parts. The article describes experimental measurements of manufactured composite samples that have been subjected to tensile stress. Aim of the performed tensile tests was to determine the maximum tensile stress that the composite materials are able to transmit until they are damaged. Measurement determining the maximum stress level is important to ensure the required safety of the aircraft structure on which the composite structure was repaired.

The effects of ultrasonic impact treatment (UIT) on the distribution of residual stress and on the microstructure of TA15 (Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V) alloy joints by electron beam welding (EBW) were investigated. The results demonstrated that a marked microstructure change occurred after welding and the microstructure of welded joint presented a transitional change, i.e. martensite appeared in the fusion zone while equiaxed α in base mental. The residual stress in fusion zone was mainly tensile stress, and the maximum longitudinal stress value was 817MPa, which located in the centerline of welded joint. The results indicated that different impact methods have different influence on residual stress distribution. After employing UIT on welding toe, the residual stress near the welded joint exhibited a uniform distribution and the maximum tensile stress dropped to-153MPa. While after applying UIT on full coverage, the curve of the residual stress was steep and the maximum stress was still tensile stress. After UIT, no significant change occurred in microstructure and the tensile strength has a little change.

Abstract Iron based composite materials reinforced with various ceramic particles are used in operating conditions requiring features such as high hardness, strength and wear resistance. The composite materials may be subject to corrosion depending on the working environment. In this study, the corrosion properties of iron based composite materials produced by powder metallurgy, containing carbon and different amounts of alumina reinforcement were investigated. In the materials production, 0.5 wt.-% carbon and 1, 3 and 5 wt.-% alumina powders were added to the iron powders as reinforcement. Followed by mixing, one-way cold pressing and sintering, respectively, both iron based carbon and alumina reinforced composite samples were obtained. The electrochemical corrosion properties of iron based composite materials containing various amounts of alumina reinforcement were investigated in a 3.5 wt.-% NaCl environment and the effects of the reinforcing material ratio on the corrosion behavior of the composite material were determined. It was determined that with an increase in the alumina reinforcement ratio, the corrosion rate of the material increases and the corrosion resistance decreases.

In order to investigate low temperature mechanical characteristics of HTPB (hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene binder) propellant, uniaxial tensile tests at both the low temperature and room temperature after short storage at low temperature were conducted and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) was used to observe fracture surfaces. The mechanical properties and stress-strain curves were obtained. The experimental results show that matrix tearing and particle brittle fracture occur in low temperature tensile test, but only particle/matrix interface de-wetting in room temperature tensile test. Low temperature stress-strain curves of propellant appear obviously yield region, and the yield degree is involved to the low temperature value. The low temperature mechanical properties such as maximum tensile stress, elastic modulus and strain at maximum stress against temperature are different from room temperature mechanical properties.

The fiber-reinforced polymer composites are of great scientific and technical interest and a very impressive development. This justifies both the development of the research in this area, and the extension of the production of such materials.This paper presents research regarding three different composite materials, plates of carbon fibre, glass fiber and Kevlar in epoxy matrix. The mechanical characteristics of plates made of composite materials (CM) reinforced are presented. Based on the results, a comparative study between the reinforced materials used to manufacture the plates of CM is carried out.

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.

The main objective of this paper is to determine the curves bounding the actual load carrying capacity in terms of the First Ply Failure and the Last Ply Failure of composite materials used in Malaysian Industries. A mathematical model and computational model are presented for the analysis. Higher Order Shear Deformation plate theory is employed to predict the deformation of the plate. The selected material properties through thickness is used and accommodated by a discrete layer approach. A program based on finite element method is developed using Fortran-90 to determine the lamina stresses. These stresses are then used in the present failure model to determine the First Ply Failure and Last Ply Failure, by progressively reducing the stiffness of the laminas. Finally, the First Ply Failure and Last Ply failure results are analysed, in terms of lower and upper bound within which the true load carrying capacity lies.

The effect of tensile stress applied during cooling of binary glasses on the potential energy states and mechanical properties is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. We study the three-dimensional binary mixture that was first annealed near the glass transition temperature and then rapidly cooled under tension into the glass phase. It is found that at larger values of applied stress, the liquid glass former freezes under higher strain and its potential energy is enhanced. For a fixed cooling rate, the maximum tensile stress that can be applied during cooling is reduced upon increasing initial temperature above the glass transition point. We also show that the amorphous structure of rejuvenated glasses is characterized by an increase in the number of contacts between smaller type atoms. Furthermore, the results of tensile tests demonstrate that the elastic modulus and the peak value of the stress overshoot are reduced in glasses prepared at larger applied stresses and higher initial temperatures, thus indicating enhanced ductility. These findings might be useful for the development of processing and fabrication methods to improve plasticity of bulk metallic glasses.
