Abstract:
The fire performance of polycarbonate resin and the role of glass fibre reinforcement in altering the fire performance was investigated. Three different fibre weaves with comparable surface density, plain, twill, and unidirectional glass fabrics, were used as reinforcements. E-glass fabrics were solution-impregnated with polycarbonate/dichloromethyl, laid up, and compression-moulded to consolidate the glass fibre reinforced polycarbonate composite. Cone calorimetry tests with an incident radiant flux of 35 kW/m2 were used to investigate the fire properties of polycarbonate resin and its composites. Results showed that glass fibre reinforcement improves polycarbonate performance by delaying its ignition, decreasing its heat release rate, and lowering the mass loss rate. The three fibre weave types exhibited similar time to ignition. However, unidirectional fibre had a 35% lower peak heat release rate followed when compared to plain and twill weave fibres.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND Dimensional change and porosity in the polymethylmethacrylate based prosthesis affects its clinical performance. Hence, the present study aimed to evaluate the porosity and water sorption present in the modified polymethyl methacrylate polymer composite. METHODS Control group without fibre reinforcement and test groups with fibre reinforcement were prepared for the study. Three different fibres such as boron free-E glass fibre, untreated and plasma-treated polypropylene fibres in varying weight percentage and aspect ratio were considered for reinforcement. The porosity of the fractured surface was observed through a scanning electron microscope (scanning electron microscope) and sorption measured based on international standards organization (ISO) 1567:1999. RESULTS Control group exhibited porous structures, whereas all fibre-reinforced groups did not exhibit porous structure at the fracture surface. There was a significant difference in the sorption rate between control and test group (p < 0.001). Among fibrereinforced test groups, boron free E glass fibre reinforced polymethylmethacrylate exhibited maximum sorption followed by polypropylene fibre reinforced polymer test groups (p < 0.001). However, all samples showed sorption rate within the ISO specification. CONCLUSIONS Fiber reinforcement is an effective method to reduce porosity and water sorption in polymethylmethacrylate based polymer composite regardless of the fibre type.

Abstract:
The limited shelf life of carbon prepreg waste (CPW) from component manufacturing restricts its use as a composite reinforcement fibre on its own. However, CPW can be recycled with glass fibre (GF) reinforcement to develop a unique remediate material. Therefore, this study fabricated (1) a glass fibre-carbon prepreg waste reinforced polymer hybrid composite (GF-CPW-PP), (2) a polypropylene composite (PP), (3) a carbon prepreg waste reinforced composite (CPW-PP), and (4) a glass fibre reinforced composite (GF-PP) and reported their degradation and residual tension properties after immersion in water. The polymer hybrid composites were fabricated via extrusion technique with minimum reinforce glass-carbon prepreg waste content of 10 wt%. The immersion test was conducted at room temperature using distilled water. Moisture content and diffusion coefficient (DC) were determined based on water adsorption values recorded at 24-h intervals over a one-week period. The results indicated that GF-PP reinforced composites retained the most moisture post-168 h of immersion. However, hardness and tensile strength were found to decrease with increased water adsorption. Tensile strength was found to be compromised since pores produced during hydrolysis reduced interfacial bonding between glass fibre and prepreg carbon reinforcements and the PP matrix.

Abstract:
Natural fibers are widely used for reinforcement in polymer composite materials and proved to be effectively replacing synthetic fiber reinforced polymer composites to some extent in applications like domestic, automotive and lower end aerospace parts. The natural fiber reinforced composites are environment friendly, have high strength to weight ratio as well as specific strengths comparable with synthetic glass fiber reinforced composites. In the present work, hybrid epoxy composites were fabricated using calotropis procera and glass fibers as reinforcement by hand lay-up method. The fibre reinforcement in epoxy matrix was maintained at 20 wt%. In 20 wt% reinforcement of fibre, the content of calotropis procera and glass fibre were varied from 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt%. The dry sliding wear test as per ASTM G99 and three body abrasive wear test as per ASTM G65 were conducted to find the tribological properties by varying speed, load, distance and abrasive size. The hybrid composite having 5 wt% calotropis procera and 15 wt% glass fibre showed less wear loss in hybrid composites both in sliding wear test as well as in abrasive wear test which is comparable with 20 wt% glass fibre reinforced epoxy composite which marked very low wear loss. The SEM analysis was carried out to study the worn out surfaces of dry sliding wear test and three body abrasive wear test specimens.

Abstract:
An experimental study was conducted to compare various composite systems with different fibres (E-glass and carbon) in two different thermoplastic matrices (PPS, PEEK) for their strengthening efficiency for wrapped concrete columns. The results indicated that the use of E-glass fibres within a polyphenylenesulfide matrix to externally reinforce concrete columns is quite effective. The carbon fibre PEEK based system does not show much improvement in the load carrying capacity. The thickness of wrap/radius of concrete column-ratio also has an influence on the strengthening efficiency. For example ten layers of glass fibre/PPS-tapes resulted in a five fold improvement of the compressive strength of the non-reinforced concrete. Predamaged samples with the same amount of reinforcement were still 4.5 times stronger than the undamaged, non-reinforced concrete.

Abstract:
This study was carried out to assess the feasibility of glass fibres of various lengths (12 mm, 18 mm, 24 mm and 30 mm) as reinforcement on the mechanical performance of bark particleboards intended for thermal insulation. To evaluate their efficiency, the results of fibre reinforced particleboards at mass of 3wt% concentration were compared with plain bark based boards. Thermal, physical and mechanical properties (modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and internal bond) were determined on unreinforced and reinforced specimens. In general, the results of the thermal conductivity measurements indicated that the bark panels could potentially be used as feedstock for thermal insulation panels. However, the glass fibres lengths had a direct adverse effect on the mechanical behaviour of the bark particleboard, instead of providing synergistic reinforcement. Furthermore, the static bending properties, mainly the modulus of rupture, gradually decreased with increasing lengths of glass fibre.

Abstract:
Fire protective intumescent coating cannot insulate a base material effectively if its char lacks mechanical strength. This research therefore, studied the effects of fibre reinforcement to epoxy-based intumescent coatings char strength. The fibres used include glass wool fibre, Rockwool fibre and ceramic wool fibre of 10mm length. The three formulations mechanical performances were compared to both, a famous commercial intumescent coating and a control formulation without fibre. These coatings were fire tested up to 800°C in an electric furnace for an hour. Their chars mechanical properties were evaluated for char resistance test using predetermined weight loads. In the test, masses from 100g to 3600g were loaded continuously on top of the chars where the fibre reinforced intumescent coating (FRIC) has shown better strength and resistance to deformation. As a result, they produced lower percentage of height reduction i.e. 34% - 83% different when compared to unreinforced coating. Control char also ruptured at as low as 4N load. It was deduced that fire insulative wool fibres are effective reinforcement for improved char strength of the FRIC.

Abstract:
In this article, A6061 and its reinforcement particles like aluminium oxide/glass fibres/SiCp/B4C (4% and 5%) with mixed composite and aluminium oxide/SiCp/B4C mixed without glass fibre composite are produced with different proportions using the stir casting method. Here, some experimental study is carried out on the composite layer through scanning electron microscopy and XRD test to show the influence of the reinforcement on A6061, and the percentage of gold-silver-copper (AuAgCu), aluminium-zinc (ZA), and palladium deuteride is increased in this composition and justified through the graphical representation of the XRD image. Mechanical properties of the stir casting composites were evaluated through microhardness, wear test under 200 rpm and 300 rpm and 20 N and 50 N, and tensile tests. The results were compared with the properties of the base metal, with glass fibre reinforcement specimen and without adding glass fibre specimen; this will help us to check the strength and weakness of the glass fibres in A6061.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to enhance the tensile and flexural strength of polyamide (nylon 6, 6) by incorporation of glass fibre. Nylon has high elasticity, strength, toughness and maintain mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. The method employed for enhancement of properties is by the reinforcement of glass fibre. Glass fibre is the most extensively used reinforcement material. It is a lightweight, extremely solid, durable, low cost material that moderafly stiff. The composition of glass fibre was kept at 0 wt.%, 30 wt.% and 50 wt.% in nylon 6,6 blend. Initially, samples were manufactured by injection molding of nylon 6,6 and glass fibre. The pressure and velocity profiles at 0 wt.%, 30 wt.% and 50 wt.% reinforced nylon 6,6 are also compared. The samples thus formed were checked for shrinkage. The samples were tested for their tensile and flexural properties. The mechanical properties of polyamide (nylon 6,6) significantly improves by increasing glass fibre reinforcement.

Abstract:
This thesis examined the feasibility of fibre composite reinforcement in the furniture industry. The development of post war furniture design was reviewed, with particular emphasis on the main design movements and the use of new materials and technologies. The use of fibre composite materials in contemporary furniture was discussed in terms of technical development, environmental effects and psychological acceptance. Fibre reinforcements and adhesives were compared, as were fabrication techniques applicable to the existing British furniture industry. Particular emphasis has been placed on the fibre reinforcement of laminated timber sections as a method of overcoming many of the manufacturing problems of composites. Methods of analysing the behaviour under load of fibre reinforced laminated wood were reviewed. Resistance among the furniture buying public to modem, non-traditional furniture design was discussed, along with ways of making composite materials more aesthetically acceptable. Experimentation to determine the mechanical properties of fibre composite reinforced wood against wood control samples was undertaken, along with methods used to analyse the results for flat and curved samples. Modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture and impact strength were measured, as was the level of distortion of the samples before and after testing. A full size chair form was produced to demonstrate the behaviour of the material on a larger scale. The development of the design was discussed in terms of ergonomic requirements, aesthetics, practicality and environmental concerns. The problem of predicting the behaviour of complex shapes was discussed and a finite element analysis of the form is carried out to gain an accurate picture of the composite's performance. Production of fibre reinforced materials was discussed, along with the furniture industry's reluctance to invest in new materials and technologies. The feasibility of adapting traditional furniture making skills and equipment to the production of fibre composite reinforced wood has been assessed.

Abstract:
Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars have been developed as an alternative to steel reinforcement for various structural concrete applications. Due to their non-corrossive nature, they are particularly suited for harsh environments where steel reinforcement is prone to corrosion. The purpose of this research is to determine the feasibility of GFRP reinforcing bars as concrete bridge deck reinforcement for locations, such as coastal New Zealand, where the non-corrosive benefits of GFRP may offer an alternative to traditional mild steel reinforcement. GFRP use as structural reinforcement may offer life-cycle cost benefits for certain structures as maintenance to repair corroded reinforcement is not necessary. The use of GFRP reinforcement in a New Zealand design context was investigated to directly compare the structural performance of this alternative reinforcing product. Mateen-bar, manufactured by Pultron Composites Ltd, is the GFRP reinforcing bar used in the experimental tests. Experimental investigation of tensile properties of GFRP bar samples was carried out to understand the mechanical behaviour of GFRP reinforcement and validate the manufacturer’s specifications. This series of tests highlighted the complexities of carrying out tensile testing of FRP products, due to the inability to grip the GFRP directly in a testing machine without crushing the specimen. Two phases of full-scale tests were carried out to compare the performance of bridge deck slabs reinforced with typical mild steel and GFRP reinforcing bar. This experimental testing was different to most existing research on GFRP reinforced slab performance as it did not compare the performance of a GFRP reinforcing bar area equivalent to steel, but was designed in such a way as to dependably give the same moment capacity of the steel reinforced slab design. This incorporated the recommended limit of 20% of design stress given by the manufacturer which led to an apparent over-reinforced section for the GFRP slab design. The aim of the experiments was to investigate the comparative performance of a typical New Zealand bridge deck design and a GFRP reinforced equivalent designed in such a way as is currently recommended by the manufacturer. The over-reinforcement lead to differences in conclusions drawn by other authors who have studied GFRP reinforced slab behaviour. Both flexural and concentrated loading (simulating vehicle loading) tests were carried out on both the steel and GFRP reinforced slab designs. Due to over-reinforcement the GFRP slab was considerably stiffer and stronger than the steel design, indicating that serviceability issues are unlikely to be as much of a design issue as existing literature would suggest. Deflection prediction models generally underestimate the strength of over-reinforced sections. All slabs failed in punching shear under concentrated loads, indicating that punching shear may be a critical failure mechanism for GFRP reinforced slabs Based on the findings from the extensive experimental phases, a set of design recommendations were made to further improve the potential for GFRP to be used for bridge deck design in a New Zealand context.

Abstract:
The primary objective of this research was to experimentally investigate material and bond properties of three different types of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, and determine their effect on the design of a bridge deck using FRP bars as the top mat of reinforcement. The properties evaluated include the tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, bond behavior, and maximum bond stress. The experimental program included 47 tensile tests and 42 beam end bond tests performed with FRP bars. Tensile strength of the bars from the tensile testing ranged from 529 MPa to 859 MPa. The average modulus, taken from all the testing, for each type of bar was found to range from 40 GPa to 43.7 GPa. The maximum bond stress from the beam end bond tests ranged from 9.17 MPa to 25 MPa. From the tests, design values were found in areas where the properties investigated were related. These design values include design tensile strength, design modulus of elasticity, bond coefficient for deflection calculations, bond coefficient for crack width calculations, and development length. The results and conclusions address design concerns of the different types of FRP bars as applied in the top mat of reinforcement of a bridge deck. A secondary objective was to evaluate the disparity in results between direct pullout tests, and beam end bond tests. Results from the experimentally performed beam end bond test were compared to previous literature involving the direct pullout tests. Results from the performed beam end bond tests were higher than all of the literature using direct pullout results. No recommendations were given on the disparity between the two test methods.

Abstract:
The primary objective of this project was to test a full-scale prototype of an actual bridge deck containing GFRP bars as the top mat of reinforcement. The purpose of the tests was to verify that the design would resist the loads for which it was designed and provide assurance that the deck would not unexpectedly fail due to the use of this new material. Behavior of the bridge and deck, such as failure load, failure mode, cracking load, crack widths, deflections, and internal stresses, were examined. Four tests were performed on the deck, all of which tested the deck in negative moment regions. From the tests, it was concluded that the design of the deck was very conservative and that unexpected failure should be of no concern. The secondary objective of this project was to comment on the construction of a bridge deck reinforced with GFRP bars and to note its advantages and disadvantages along with a critique of the current state-of-the-art of designing bridge decks with FRP reinforcement. It was found that the advantages of construction with GFRP bars far outweighed the disadvantages, and that the placing of the top mat of GFRP bars was much easier than the placing of the bottom mat of steel bars. It was also concluded that the current state-of-the-art of designing bridge decks reinforced with GFRP is, for the most part, inaccurate in its prediction of behavior and that more research is needed to create more accurate design equations and procedures. Although current methods do not result in accurate predictions of behavior, they do, as mentioned above, result in conservative designs.

Abstract:
The primary objective of this research project was to perform live load tests on a bridge deck with GFRP reinforcement in the field under service conditions. The strains and deflections in the span reinforced with GFRP in the top mat were recorded under a series of truck crossings, and these were compared to the span reinforced with all steel bars under identical loading conditions, as well as design values and other test results. Transverse strains in the GFRP bars, girder distribution factors, girder bottom flange strains, dynamic load allowances, and weigh-in-motion gauge results were examined. From the live load tests, it was concluded that the bridge was designed conservatively for service loads, with measured strains, stresses, distribution factors, and impact factors below allowables and design values. The second objective was to monitor the construction of the bridge deck. To carry out this objective, researchers from Virginia Tech were on site during the bridge deck phase of the construction. The construction crews were observed while installing both the all-steel end span and the steel bottom/GFRP top end span. The installation of the GFRP bars went smoothly when compared to that of the steel bars. The workers were unfamiliar with the material at first, but by the end of the day were handling, installing, and tying the GFRP bars with skill. It was concluded that GFRP bars are an acceptable material in bridge deck applications with respect to constructibility issues. The third objective was to set up the long term monitoring and data collection of the bridge deck. Electrical resistance strain gauges, vibrating wire strain gauges, and thermocouples were installed in the deck prior to concrete casting to provide strain and temperature readings throughout the service life of the bridge. It was concluded that the span reinforced with GFRP was instrumented sufficiently for long-term health monitoring.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness and durability of GFRP bars as reinforcement for concrete decks. Today's rapid bridge deck deterioration is calling for a replacement for steel reinforcement. The advantages of GFRP such as its high tensile strength, light weight, and resistance to corrosion make it an attractive alternative to steel. The first objective of this research was to perform live load testing on a bridge deck reinforced with GFRP in one span and steel in the other. The results were compared to the findings from the initial testing performed one year earlier. The strains and deflections of the bridge deck were recorded and the two spans compared. Transverse stresses in the GFRP bars, girder distribution factors, and dynamic load allowances were calculated for both spans. From the live load tests, it was concluded that the GFRP-reinforced span results were within design parameters. The only concern was the increased impact factor values. The second objective was to perform live load tests on a slab reinforced with GFRP installed at a weigh station. Two live load tests were performed approximately five months apart. Peak strains in the GFRP and steel bars were recorded and compared. The peak stresses had increased over time but were within design allowable stress limits. The third objective of this research was to investigate the long term behavior and durability of the GFRP reinforcing bars cast in a concrete deck. The strain gauges, vibrating wire gauges, and thermocouples in the bridge deck were monitored for approximately one year using a permanent data acquisition system. Daily, monthly, and long term fluctuations in temperature and stresses were examined. It was concluded that the vibrating wire gauges were more reliable than the electrical resistance strain gauges. It was further observed that the main influence over strain changes was temperature fluctuations.

Abstract:
In nature, both material and structure are formed according to the principles of biologically controlled self-assembly, a process defined as the spontaneous and reversible ordering of small molecular building blocks under the influence of non-covalent, static interactions. The orientation and distribution of reinforcing entities in engineering composites is key to enabling structural efficiency, yet the architecture remains simplistic when compared to the distinctive and unique hierarchies found in Nature. These biological ‘composite’ materials achieve such configurations by accurately controlling the orientation of anisotropic nano- and micro-sized ‘building blocks’, thereby reinforcing the material in specific directions to carry the multidirectional external loads at different length scales. Capturing the design principles underlying the exquisite architecture of such biological materials will overcome many of the mechanical limitations of current engineering composites. The scientific vision for this study is the development of a novel and highly ordered complex architecture fibrous material for additive layer manufacturing. Using novel chemistry and controlled field-effect assembly, functionally graded, stiffness modulated architectures, analogous to those found in nature, are synthesised to realise enhanced mechanical performance, multi-dimensional composite structures. To achieve this, both hierarchical discontinuous fibres (glass fibres with ZnO nanrods) and a new type of ultrasonic device has been developed. The two studies reported here have been successfully employed to manufacture and mechanically characterise the fibres and aligned discontinuous fibres. A 43 % improvement in strength was observed for samples tested parallel to the direction of the fibre reinforcement over those strained normal to the fibre direction, despite the relatively low volume percentage of the reinforcement phase. This technique shows great potential for the low cost instantaneous alignment of structural reinforcement to generate the light-weight high performance structures required for the future.

Abstract:
Modern alkali resistant glass fibers (ARG) modified with 17% ZrO2 are getting more popular as reinforcement of cementitious matrixes. Typical matrix compositions with quartz, Portland cement, 13 mm length ARG glass fibres and PCE superplasticizer can offer good workability, product quality and highly increased mechanical characteristics. In production of self compacting fibre reinforced premix highly siliceous fine sands with nearly round shape particles are usually preferred. This article investigates influence of particle shape for workability of glass fibre reinforced concrete when alternative fillers- crushed granite and regular sand are used. 12 compositions were made whith different quantities of fillers, changing quartz from 0% to 50% with alternative aggregates. Slump tests according to EN 1170-1 were made and showed major impact of particle shape characteristics on mix workability. When quantity of altrernative aggrates was increased, slump of fresh mix decreased and fibre- matrix segregation occurred. New workability factor W is offered and values calculated, to have numeric representation of workability. Alternative aggregates had no clear influence for flexural strenght, when beams 40×40×160 were tested. Compressive strength dropped by 25% when regular sand was used. Typical quartz matrix resulted in lower water absorbtion.

Abstract:
Fiber-reinforced polymer composite piping has traditionally been produced using E-glass fiber materials. E-glass has been the preferred reinforcement phase due to its good corrosion resistance, low cost and wide availability. However, in recent years other materials have emerged on the market, or are becoming competitive in price. Mineral based basalt fibers and high-performance S-glass are examples of such materials. In the present study the performance of basalt and S-glass reinforcements was investigated in comparison to a commonly used advanced E-glass fiber material. Employing the same epoxy matrix phase, specimens from the various fiber materials were produced, and their leakage behavior was assessed using experimental means. It was observed that the type of fiber reinforcement had limited effect on leakage behavior of pressure-retaining pipe structures.

Abstract:
In this study, the effect of different amounts of acorn powder reinforcement on the quasi-static penetration behavior of glass fiber reinforced composites was investigated. Glass fiber used in this study is 0˚/90˚ stitched E-glass fiber with a density of 600 g/m2. The sizes of acorn powders used as particle reinforcements are between 10 to 40 micrometers. Powders were cleansed from impurities with a sodium hydroxide solution. Cleaned powders mixed with epoxy resin by using mechanical mixing method. Thereafter, resin mixture was applied to glass fiber with hand lay-up method and composite plate was produced by vacuum bag method. Quasi-static penetration tests were performed at room temperature. As quasi-static penetration speed, 1, 10 and 20 mm/minute was selected. Force and energy results of composites compared with each other.

Abstract:
<p>To address this issue of corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete, large scale columns reinforced with glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars were tested under simulated earthquake loads. In addition to the moment - curvature and shear - deflection responses, ductility factors, and work and energy dissipation parameters were used to evaluate column performance. Twenty-five columns with circular and square sections can be compared to investigate variables such as axial load level, amount and type of reinforcement, i.e. GFRP vs steel. GFRP-reinforced columns were found to behave with stable post-peak response and achieved high levels of deformability and energy dissipation. The optimum solution with respect to column strength, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation, and corrosion resistance appears to be a hybrid column with steel longitudinal bars and GFRP transverse reinforcement.</p>

Abstract:
Glass chopped fiber mats have been used as traditional reinforcements for fiber reinforced plastics. However, the literature is found limited even it has a long history. However short fiber mats is considered to be suitable reinforcement configuration for natural fiber or filled composites because the natural fiber is inherently short fiber. Various fiber textile technologies are available to be used to fabricate the fiber mats structure, for example needle punching process. Therefore the relation between different textile manufacturing techniques (the fiber mat structure) and the composites properties is considered necessary to be should be fully understood. Chopped glass mat reinforced composite was used as experimental materials and the fracture behavior of the specimens with drill-hole was investigated. Acoustic emission (AE) measurement was carried out by using Dual AE measurement system with both 140 KHz and 1 MHz sensors to understand the fiber and matrix fracture behaviors simultaneously. Also the characteristic distance was calculated experimentally and was compared theoretically with the values obtained from finite element stress analysis. It is found that the notched strength decrease by drilling a hole in the center. While regarding to the effect of w/d ratio i.e. the ratio of width to the diameter of the drill-hole, w/d of 3 specimens seems to have relative higher notched strength as compared to 2 or 5 w/d specimens. During the tensile test AE signals which detected by both 140 kHz and 1MHz are found to be generated almost at the same time. Additionally, the white area before the final broken seems to relative to the characteristic distance calculated by finite element stress analysis.

Abstract:
<p>Poor durability of building structures leads to high repair costs. The durability of reinforced concrete structures is largely dependent on the corrosion resistance of the reinforcing steel. For applications which are highly endangered by corrosion, fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) offer a solution. A basic prerequisite for the long-term functionality of a composite material is the bonding of the individual components. The lower modulus of elasticity and the different surface geometry of glass fibre- reinforced plastic (GFRP) reinforcement compared to steel reinforcement lead to a change in the bond stress distribution. This results in different bond splitting effects and load introduction lengths. In this paper, the bond stress distribution over the bond length of steel bars and FRP bars is compared. For this purpose, pull-out tests with short and long bond lengths are investigated. The force transmission from FRP to the concrete is measured by means of a fibre-optic measurement of pull-out tests with long bond lengths and compared with results from the literature.</p>

Abstract:
This work focuses on the effect of using sandblasted Aluminum 5052 H36 sheets as reinforcement in fiber metal laminates (FMLs) containing glass fiber - kevlar epoxy layers and glass fiber - carbon fiber epoxy layers. Two sets of 9 layered composites were fabricated using compression moulding technique as follows 1) Sand blasted Aluminum 5052 H36 sheet, S-Glass fiber, Kevlar fiber, with epoxy matrix. 2) Sand blasted Aluminum 5052 H36 sheet, S-Glass fiber, carbon fiber with epoxy matrix. Flexural experimentation of the composites was done to investigate delamination under bending loads. Izod Impact studies were performed to determine the notch toughness of the composites and also to study the debonding under impact loading. Flexural results revealed no delamination between the sandblasted Aluminum 5052 H36 - fiber interlayers owing to the increase in the surface roughness of the duralumin sheets through sand blasting, while pronounced delamination was observed between fiber - fiber interlayers. Impact testing of the composite also showed no delamination between Aluminum 5052 H36 - fiber interlayers and a brittle fracture surface was observed. Thus sand blasting of the Aluminum 5052 H36 layers proves to be a beneficial technique in overcoming the inherent problem of delamination in FMLs.

Abstract:
Rigid polyurethane foams are very widely used in a variety of structural and non-structural applications. For example, it may be used as an insulator, in sandwich layered composite panels, and as filler for improving the stiffness of lightweight components, such as thin metal tubes. Rigid foams do not show any recovery after impact and typically are crushed or crumble. They also tend to degrade over a period of time. Thus in this investigation, reinforced rigid polyurethane foams have been developed and characterized for their quasi-static mechanical properties. Rigid polyurethane foam was reinforced with short, 0.47 mm length, milled E-glass fibers. It has been observed that short glass fiber reinforcement helps in improving the mechanical properties, such as tensile modulus, breaking strength, and compression modulus, of the reinforced foam as compared to monolithic foam.
