Adding recycled glass components to concrete mixes is a novel and sustainable option. Prior studies have recommended replacement ratios of 30% aggregates 20% ground pozzolan as optimum substitutions in mixes. The compressive strength has been shown increase when are used with these proportions. Less information available on the flexural such concrete, no previous research conducted capacity exp...

in the present research work, the flexural modulus and strength of glass fiber-epoxy resin and carbon fiber-epoxy resin composites have been enhanced through fiber tension during curing of the polymeric resin. this study showed that the tension applied on the fibers increased the flexural modulus of the glass-epoxy composites up to 12% and the flexural strength up to 19%. the flexural modulus a...

s: Aim: The aim of this research work was to compare and evaluate the hardness and flexural strength of three different commercially available fixed provisional restorative resins. Objective: The objectives of this research work are, to assess whether setting mechanism of fixed provisional restorative resins has an effect on the physical and mechanical properties and to compare and contrast the...

This study presents an analytical investigation into the mechanical behavior of a cartilage-polydioxanone (PDS) plate composite grafts. Numerical methods are used to provide a first-order, numerical model of the flexural stiffness of a cartilage-PDS graft. Flexural stiffness is a measure of resistance to bending and is inversely related to the amount of deformation a structure may experience wh...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of cavity preparation on the flexural strength of heat-curing denture resin when repaired with an auto-curing resin. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety-six rectangular specimens (64 x 10 x 2.5 mm) prepared from heat-curing denture base resin (Meliodent) were randomly divided into four groups before repair. One group was left intact as control. Each repair specimen...

This study evaluated the effect of fiber addiction in flexural properties of 30 wt% silica filled BisGMA resin (FR) or unfilled Bis-GMA (UR). Ten groups were created (N = 10) varying the resin (FR or UR) and quantity of glass fibers (wt%: 0, 10, 15, 20, and 30). Samples (10 × 2 × 1 mm) were submitted to flexural strength test following SEM examination. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA, Tukey...
