Modeling of mechanical behaviors for natural fiber reinforced composites under hygrothermal ageing

Inverse Analysis to Determine Hygrothermal Properties in Fiber Reinforced Composites

Fiber-reinforced composite laminates are often used in severe environments such as high temperature and humidity conditions. Therefore, it is of practical interest to establish a simple but robust method to determine material properties that define the hygrothermal behavior of composites under various conditions. In this article a novel inverse analysis approach is presented to identify the dif...

Mechanical Properties of SiC Fiber- Reinforced Reaction-Bonded Si3N4 Composites

Mechanical properties of woven glass fiber-reinforced composites.

The aim of this investigation was to measure the flexural and compressive strengths and the corresponding moduli of cylindrical composite specimens reinforced with woven glass fiber. Test specimens were made by light-curing urethane dimethacrylate oligomer with woven glass fiber of 0.18-mm standard thickness. Tests were conducted using four reinforcement methods and two specimen diameters. Flex...

A Review on Mechanical Properties of Natural Fiber Reinforced Hybrid Polymer Composites

The natural fiber reinforced composites are being used in various fields of applications that are contributing to the replacement of synthetic fibers composites which consists of Boron, glass fiber, carbon fiber etc.. The composite natural fibers are being used due its light weight, higher specific strength and eco friendly natural, non –abrasive which also have economical value. As they are ma...

Study on Mechanical Properties and Constitutive Equation of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites Under Static Loading

Abstract: The Quasi-static mechanical properties of hybrid fiber (steel fiber and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber) reinforced cementitious composites (HFRCC(SP)) were investigated by compressive and tensile experiments. The compressive strength, peak strain, elastic modulus and tensile strength are studied as compared with that of engineered cementitious composite (ECC). Study results indicate th...
