A new type of wood plastic composite, Eucalyptus/PES(Polyethersulfone) blend, was developed. It was designed to be used in LS (Laser Sintering) with reduced energy usage with cost savings. The preparation of Eucalyptus/PES blend and part sintering were under fixed processing conditions and parameters. Through mechanical testing, it was discovered that the strength of prototypes is low due to th...

Average stress during shear bond testing, and deformation behaviour during nano-indentation testing were calculated for the bonding area as a bonding site for copolymerization with resin composite in dentine bonding systems. First average stress was calculated in the bonding area between bovine dentine and composite resin. Secondly, the plastic deformation zone size was calculated using an elas...

A study is made into the effect of the critical current density dependence upon the value of plastic strain on the critical state stability in hard and composite superconductors under conditions of plastic yield of the material. There have been found criteria of the critical state stability relative to the jointly developing magnetic flux jumps and plastic strain jerks.

A composite material is a combination of two or more materials arranged in the form of layer one on the other layer using binding material through some prescribed methods. In the Glass fibre coconut fibre human hair hybrid composite method, the epoxy resin is used as binding material, in which one layer is formed of glass fibre, followed by coconut fibre and then by human hair. By using hand la...

A global approximation method to optimize material architecture and cross-sectional area of new fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composite beams is presented. The sections considered are intended for applications in short-span bridges. The beams are subjected to transverse loading, and the optimization constraints include deflection limit, material failure, and elastic buckling. Assuming a lamina...

Gears are an integral and necessary component in our everyday lives. Most of the work performed in plastic and metal but very few works available in combine effect of plastic and metal gears. The main problem while referring plastic gear is the bending strength and in case of metal gear is cost. Hence, the work is performed on metal plastic composite gear to get benefit of both. Here use the co...

Fibre reinforced plastic composite materials are difficult to machine because of the anisotropy and inhomogeneity characterizing their microstructure and the abrasiveness of their reinforcement components. During machining, very rapid cutting tool wear development is experienced, and surface integrity damage is often produced in the machined parts. An accurate selection of the proper tool and m...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surface hardness of a resin composite (TPH) polymerized with and without the use of a transparent light-curing cone. Twenty composite blocks were made on a Teflon mold with cylindrical holes of 3 mm depth and 6 mm radius, and were light cured following different procedures. Group 1: Ten samples were pressed with a glass slide and light cured for two...

in this study , the physical and mechanical properties of polypropylene composites reinforced with bagasse alkaline-sulfite-anthraquinone, soda-anthraqouinone, monoethanolamine-anthraquinone chemical pulps and mechanical pulp (cmp) known as pulp-plastic compostes (ppc) were investigated and the results were compared among ppcs and with polypropylene composites reinforced with bagasse flour know...
