Abstract The prospect of using recovered solar cells from end-of-life (EoL) photovoltaic panels (PVPs) to produce composite materials with dielectric properties was studied. main goal this research reduce the waste originating EoL PVPs by reusing semiconductor, thus rendering energy an even greener source. Solar were through thermal treatment remove polymer sheets and screening separate glass e...

In this study, the ballistic resistance of composite panels made solid fabrics was investigated. experimental part, materials Twaron CT 747 TH110 impregnated with thermoplastic resin and thermoset were examined. The tested in reduced version according to NATO AEP-55 STANAG 4569 standard, protection level 1. manufactured by rifle cartridges 7.62 x 51 mm FMJ M80. high-speed camera used observe im...

The overall objective of this research project was to conduct an extensive study of the behavior and use of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) and carbon FRP (CFRP) materials for bridge construction. In particular, GFRP honeycomb sandwich panels were used as bridge panels and steel-supported bridge deck panels and CFRP and GFRP bars were used as internal reinforcement for precast concrete br...

One method of constructing lightweight concrete floors in residential dwellings is to use a trapezoidal profile steel pan as a permanent form for a relatively thin pour of concrete. The resulting structure has enhanced stiffness to weight ratio due to the composite action between the steel and concrete, and the inherent improved stiffness of the profiled cross section. However the floor is stro...

Composite shell linings consist of primary and secondary sprayed concrete linings separated by a layer of spray-applied waterproofing membrane. In order to design such a lining configuration, a calibrated numerical simulation approach is needed and the impact of interface properties on the composite mechanical behaviour should be understood. A programme of laboratory tests was carried out on be...
