Fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) production in many cases involves expensive molds, which especially hinders cost-effective of small series and prototypes. In metal parts production, incremental sheet forming (ISF) is an established process for creating individual through a flexible die-less process. Establishing similar FRP desirable but challenging, as deformation mechanisms endless differ sig...

The use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is increasing in engineering applications such as aerospace, automobiles, defense, and construction. Excellent strength-to-weight ratio, high impact toughness, corrosion resistance make CFRP highly suitable for aerospace applications. Curing temperature, curing time, autoclave pressure are among the most important parameters affecting properties...

Fiber-reinforced plastic composite materials are increasingly used in many industrial applications, leading to an increase the amount of waste that must be treated avoid environmental problems. Currently, scientific literature classifies existing recycling technologies into three macro-categories: mechanical, thermal, and chemical; however, none identified as superior others. Therefore, scholar...

INTRODUCTION Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates are used in various industrial fields because they have excellent properties in the specific strength and specific stiffness. The CFRP has a potential of weight reduction in the automotive structure which can contribute to the improvement of mileage as well as the reduction of carbon dioxide. On the other hand, the safety issue in ca...

In this research work, impact strength of untreated, alkali treated, potassium permanganate treated, benzoyl chloride treated and acrylic acid treated areca fiber reinforced epoxy composites were studied under 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% fiber loadings. Impact strength increased with increase in fiber loading up to 60% and then showed a decline for all untreated and chemically treated areca fiber rei...

the main objective of this study is to drive a simple solution for prediction of steel fiber reinforced concrete (sfrc) behavior under four point bending test (fpbt). in this model all the force components at the beam section (before and after cracking) are formulated by applying these assumptions: a bilinear elastic-perfectly plastic stress-strain response for concrete behavior in compression,...
