Owing to the high potential application need in aerospace and structural industry for honeycomb sandwich composite, study on flexural behaviour of composite structure has attracted attention recent decades. The excellent bending structures is based their facesheet (FS) core materials. This research studied effect woven glass-fibre prepreg orientation panel. A three-point test was done as per AS...

The market for composites is developing rapidly due to the widespread general requirement lightweight design in various industries. However, proliferation of fibre-reinforced limited partly lack ductility associated with these materials. Hybridisation fibres has emerged as an important strategy increase polymer composite In present work, water based dispersion was used develop a dry fibre carbo...

Glass fiber reinforced polymer composite parts has been started to get extensively used at the industry of space, aviation, ship, chemistry and automotive nowadays. Other than this field of usage, at processing the composite parts by machining, some problems have been revealed due to the anisotropic structure that the composite materials have. In this study, due to stress generated on the surfa...

In recent years, many studies have focused on the mix-design and characterization of cementitious composites reinforced with plant fibres. It appears that in fresh state, morphology hydrophilic nature these fibres significantly affect rheology material. hardened mechanical performances are lower than standard (glass, synthetic, etc.). These poor mainly due to weak neo-formed fibre/matrix interf...

In this study, the anodizing process based on use of tartaric sulfuric acid solution (TSA) was carried out metal substrate to evaluate for first time its effect adhesion strength and corrosion resistance aluminium alloy (i.e., AA5083) fibre basalt or glass) reinforced composite adhesive joints nautical applications. Furthermore, some TSA anodized samples were soaked in a NaOH investigate influe...

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the mechanical properties of FRP reinforcement bars, used as internal reinforcement in concrete structures, at elevated temperatures. Two types of FRP bars namely: carbon fibre reinforced polyester bars of 9.5mm diameter and glass fibre reinforced polyester bars of 9.5mm and 12.7 mm diameter were used in the study. For comparison, conv...

PURPOSE To evaluate the fracture strength and the failure mode of endodontically treated teeth restored with composite resin overlays with and without glass-fiber reinforcement. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 32 extracted molars were divided into four equal groups. In the NFR-NFRC (no foundation restoration, no fiber-reinforced composite) and NFR-FRC (no foundation restoration, fiber-reinfo...

Glass fiber reinforced plastic composite materials are finding increased applications due to their excellent properties. Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composite materials comprise soft matrix and fiber elements. This article presents the tribological aspects of glass fiber reinforced plastic composites. The wear test is carried out for FRP in a pin-on-roller wear tester. The wear rate obtained...

This paper presents the predicted regression equation for study parameters of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams strengthened with Hybrid Fibre Polymer (HyFRP) laminate at soffit beam. To effectiveness HyFRP on flexural strengthening a total five were cast and tested.The variable are thickness, elastic modulus tensile strength laminates. Four combinations laminates precisely, 90% Glass fibre + 10% ...

The results of a major research programme into the cost effective use of fibre reinforced composites offshore, undertaken as a Joint Industry Project by a consortium of universities and contractors are presented in this report. The report includes a detailed (54 page) summary of current offshore composite applications, followed by a review of the 43 projects conducted during the programme which...
