Rubber-filler composites are a key component in the manufacture of tyres. The filler provides mechanical reinforcement and additional wear resistance to the rubber, but it in turn introduces non-linear mechanical behaviour to the material which most likely arises from interactions between the filler particles, mediated by the rubber matrix. While various studies have been made on the bulk mecha...

in this study the performance of clay nano-particles on the soil reinforced with polypropylene fibers (pp-fiber) has been investigated. also a series of investigations concerning the effect of random orientation of fibers on the engineering behaviour of soil were conducted. soil mixtures were modified with varying percentages of nanoclay and fibers. unconfined compressive strength (ucs), compac...

Abstract The mechanical properties of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy composites were identified by adding carbon-based nano-reinforcements, such as multi-wall nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene platelets (GP), into the matrix conducting suitable experiments. main focus this study is to compare tensile modulus, strength, flexural thermal conductivity with nanoparticle reinforcement. results revealed t...

In this study, the mechanical and tribological properties of unidirectional glass fiber/polyester resin carbon fiber / polyester composite materials reinforced with boron particles have been investigated by experimental methods. Composite sheets were produced hand lay-up method using mixed boroxide (H3BO3) a specific gravity 1.51 g/cm3 molecular weight 61.83 g/mol, which utilized as particles. ...

Al7075 alloy reinforced with h-Boron Nitrate (BN) composites were processed by stir casting technique. The produced composite was subjected to microstructural studies using OLYMPUS -BX51M, tensile, hardness, density and wear tests. Tensile strength and hardness were found to increase by 12.8% and 20% respectively due to increased dislocation density with the addition of reinforcement. Microstru...

This paper presents the results of a series of small-scale model tests and numerical analyses conducted on circular and ring model footings located near geogrid reinforced sand slopes. Layers of geogrid were used as reinforcement. For numerical analyses Finite Element Method (FEM) was used. The effects of reinforcement depth, size, number of layers, and the horizontal distance between reinforce...

Load frequency control (LFC) is necessary to guarantee the safe operation of power systems. Aiming at and stability problems caused by load disturbances in interconnected systems, active disturbance rejection (ADRC) was designed. There are eight parameters that need be adjusted for an ADRC, which challenging adjust manually, thus limiting development this approach industrial applications. Regar...
