Fibres are generally used as resistance of cracking and strengthening of concrete. In this project, I am going to carry out test on steel fibre reinforced concrete to check the influence of fibres on flexural strength of concrete. According to various research papers, it has been found that steel fibres give the maximum strength in comparison to glass and polypropylene fibres. Hence, in this pr...

Abstract The current study aims to investigate the Material Removal Rate (MRR) of a glass fibre reinforced polymer composite with and without natural fillers (novel Grass powder, Banana fibre). composites were made using hand layup method. We employed three sets nine specimens different each measure MRR in CNC drilling process. Drill diameter, feed rate, spindle speed all controlled variables. ...

Many of the carbon and natural fibres used in composite reinforcement have a non-circular cross section. Recently non-circular, or flat, section glass fibre products become commercially available. This paper explores potential effects that such shapes may on micromechanics stress transfer at fibre–matrix interface resulting changes strength performance. Analytical modelling is to show how criti...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have high popularity, especially in the military field, but are now also being applied to private and public sectors. One of UAV components that require material technology is wing. The latest developed as a for unmanned aircraft wings composite has strength lightweight. This research aims identify materials can be used wing structures. method this qualitative wi...

Although fiber-reinforced composite materials have often been considered as periodic materials in theoretical models, the distribution of fibers is random in real materials. This random distribution of fibers is closely related to their transverse failure behavior. This paper proposes the use of statistical functions which describe random point patterns as a quantification of the dispersion of ...

The main advantage of multidirectionally reinforced composites is the freedom to orient selected fiber types and hence derives the benefits of varying fibre volume fractions and there by accommodate the design loads of the final structure of composites. This technology provides the means to produce tailored composites with desired properties. Due to the high level of fibre integrity with throug...

Machining of glass fiber reinforced plastic composite materials is an active area of research in current manufacturing processes. Achieving an improved surface finish is of high priority while machining the polymer based plastics composites due to the poor machinability of glass fibers. The present work deals with the study and development of a surface roughness prediction model for machining u...

This paper presents the simulation of the tensile modulus and the tensile strength of shor t glass fibre reinforced Polypropylene. Various formulae of the shear-lag theory were implemented in an analytical calculation program to evaluate the tensile strength values. Based on the homogenization approach the modulus values and the strength values, applying an existing failure criterion, were calc...
