Wind is a renewable energy that used for electrical in several countries. Indonesia one of the countries utilizes wind energy. The potential located coastal areas. To apply urban areas very difficult because speed low. From this problem, paper presents windmill using fiberglass. Fiberglass an alloy or mixture as composite material which has characteristics light weight, easy shape, and low cost...

Man-made mineral fibers are produced using inorganic materials and are widely used as thermal and acoustic insulation. These basically include continuous fiberglass filaments, glass wool (fiberglass insulation), stone wool, slag wool and refractory ceramic fibers. Likewise, in the last two decades nanoscale fibers have also been developed, among these being carbon nanotubes with their high elec...

The unique teatures of the International Sailing Canoe have intrigued naval architects and sailors for years. This paper highlights the historical design development, describes current trends. and presents results from finite element analyses of three popular conSlruction methods: cold·molded cedar. fiberglass, and carbon/epoxy. Comparisons are presented of the bending and torsional stillness, ...

Currently, numerous research groups have explored the production and properties of biocomposites where the polymer matrices are derived from renewable resources such as poly lactide (PLA), thermoplastic starch (TPS), cellulose and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). This review is carried out to evaluate the development and properties of natural fibre reinforced biodegradable polymer composites. They...

Replacing glass fibres with flax is a first step in reducing the ecological impact of thermoset composite materials, and employing biodegradable thermoplastic matrix opens up recycling composting as end-of-life routes. Here, range fibre reinforced thermoplastics were investigated: poly-(hydroxy alkanoate) (PHA), poly-(butylene-succinate) (PBS) poly-(lactide) (PLA). Poly-(propylene) (PP) maleic-...

It was July 7, 1912, and Harry Houdini, ir the company of a bevy of dutiful report ers, was going to perform one of his greatest escapes, from a barge floating in the middle of the East River in New York. First he was shackled in leg irons two pairs of handcuffs, and elbow irons. Then he was crammed into a sturdy wooden crate, 40 inches x 22 inches x 24 inches, and the lid was nailed shut and r...

Two types of fibers (carbon and glass) are considered, as an object research, on the surface which a copper coating is applied with thickness 100 nm using magnetron sputtering technology. A finite element model coated fiber was built simulated in COMSOL Multiphysics software. As result calculations, values temperatures, arising during passage electric current coating, have been determined. This...

This study concerns the use of fused filament fabrication technique to create models landing gear an unmanned aircraft. These components are made with short fibers (chopped fibers) carbon fiber and fiberglass. In order identify material high mechanical strength, designed were subjected a finite element analysis three-point bending test, followed by microscopic examination tested components. Fol...

The paper presents the results of development a multi-layer protective product, which is transformable fire barrier, installed in buildings and structures to limit spread flame, heat flow smoke. Based on simulation eight samples curtains, three promising different compositions were selected, demonstrating resistance loss thermal insulating capacity (I) 30 min. During small-scale tests, it was f...
