Glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite materials replace traditional engineering due to their properties. Accordingly, the need for accurate machining of composites has increased enormously. The advantages include high strength weight ratio, fracture toughness and excellent corrosion thermal resistance. Even though moulding process may produce GFRP parts, they require further facilitat...

This paper investigates experimentally and analytically the torsion behavior of steel fibered high strength self compacting concrete beams reinforced by GFRP bars. Steel fibered high strength self compacting concrete (SFHSSCC) and GFRP bars became in the recent decades a very important materials in the structural engineering field. The use of GFRP bars to replace steel bars has emerged as one o...

Composite material is a well-known structural which increasingly adopted as an engineering structure material. Glass fiber reinforced polymer offers the lightweight and high strength characteristics that required for modern industry, such aviation, automotive, wind power, marine technology. One of important mechanical composite materials are tensile properties, because it well known strength. T...

Composite reinforcing bars (rebars) that are used in concrete members with high performance (strength and durability) properties could have beneficial effects on the behavior of these members. This is especially vital when a building is constructed in an aggressive environment, for instance a corrosive environment. Although tension capacity/weight (or volume) ratios in composite rebars (carbon ...

Experimental investigation of GFRP (glass fiber reinforced polymer) tubes that were filled with magnetically driven concrete was carried out to study the flexural behavior of specimens under bending. Specimens having different cross section and lengths were tested. The test specimens were fabricated by filling magnetically driven concrete into the GFRP tubes and the concrete was vibrated using ...

The incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles with thermosetting epoxy polymer is an emerging field research over the past few years. It well analyzed that matrix brittle in nature shows rapid crack initiation and propagation without increasing applied stress value. Therefore, researchers are showing their interest embedded composites to improve fracture resistance (brittleness toughness). In th...

Abstract This study examines the drilling characteristics on GFRP/Banana fiber composite without and with use of Al 2 O 3 filler used in fabrication. an epoxy-based glass reinforced polymer made banana aluminum oxide powder. hand layup technique employed fabricating Three kinds composites. Pre-test G power for testing was set at 80%, Alpha 0.05%, CL 95%. number samples each group then determine...

This paper presents results of testing eccentrically loaded columns externally wrapped with two types of materials. Six cylindrical (205 mm diameter and 925 mm height) plain columns were cast and tested. Half of the columns were wrapped with GFRP and the other half with CFRP. All columns were tested by applying an axial load at 50 mm eccentricity. In each group (GFRP or CFRP wrapped) of columns...

The effect of adding different percentages nano-graphene oxide (NGO) into the epoxy resin on mechanical properties NGO/epoxy and maximum peeling force fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) with composite cores are investigated in this paper. Three NGO including 0.1, 0.35 0.50 weight (wt. %) used to fabricate tensile test samples NGO/epoxy. Hand lay-up method is FML specimens glass fiber reinforced plast...
