Selection of optimal Flax Fiber Reinforced Components for Experimental Investigation by using TOPSIS method

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation into the Adhesion between Fiber-Reinforced Bitumen and Aggregates by Using Pull-out Method

Experimental Investigation of Behavior of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)

The paper presents the results of casting and testing of 264 GFRC specimens. The glass fibers were 25 mm long, with the aspect ratio (L/D) ranging between 1250 and 3570. The parameters studied were the ratio (by weight) of fibers to cement, i.e. F/C=0%, 1.5%, 3%, and 4.5%, and the ratio of coarse to fine aggregates (gravel to sand), i.e. G/S=1.1, 0.7 and 0.2. In total, 12 mix designs were selec...

Overview of Flax Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites

Flax fibres are oftenly used for reinforcing thermoplastic to manufacture biocomposite materials exhibiting numerous advantages such as high mechanical properties, low density and biodegradability. The mechanical properties of a biocomposite material depends on the nature and orientation of the fibres, the nature of the matrix and mainly on the adhesion between fiber and the polymer matrix. The...

Supplier Selection Using a DEA-TOPSIS Method

  Supplier selection is one of the critical activities for firms to gain competitive advantage and achieve the objectives of the whole supply chain. In this paper based on a DEA-TOPSIS method for MADM problems a flexible strategy for supplier selection is introduced
