Abstract:
The interphase between reinforcing fibers and polymers is brittle, and does not behave in the way it was assumed to when the standard theory for composite strength was developed. Futhermore, this theory predicts curved stress-strain plots for aligned short fibre composites, yet the evidence for this is unconvincing, and there is much new evidence that these stress-strain curves are straight. The time has therefore come to abandon this approach and take into account, instead, the apparent brittleness and sudden failure of aligned fibre reinforced polymers. This paper presents the evidence, and introduces the new approach. This involves microcrack development in composites from stress concentrations at the fibre ends. Since such failure initiation can occur simultaneously at many sites, the stress required to cause abrupt failure across the whole cross section can be estimated by a simple force balance. This analysis gives the familiar expressions used for short fibre composites, with one important difference. For carbon reinforced polymers, the polymer has to reach its breaking strength before failure, so that there is no minimum volume fraction for reinforcement with these composites. With glass, on the other hand, which has a higher breaking strain than most thermosets used for composites, the matrix appears unable to exert its full strength. Thus low fibre volume fraction glass fibre composites can be weaker than the matrix, and a minimum volume fraction for reinforcement exists.

Abstract: Easy availability of natural fibre, low cost and ease of manufacturing have urged the attention of researchers towards the possibility of reinforcement of natural fiber to improve their mechanical properties and study the extent to which they satisfy the required specifications of good reinforced polymer composite for industrial and structural applications. Polymer composites made of natural fiber is susceptible for moisture. Moisture absorption in such composites mainly because of hydrophilic nature of natural fibers. Water uptake of natural fiber reinforced composites has an effect on different. Lot of researchers prepared the natural fiber reinforced composites without conducting water absorption tests; hence it is the potential area to investigate the behavior of the composites with different moisture absorption. In this research the experimental sequence and the materials are used for the study of coir and Sisal short fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composites. The coir and Sisal short fibers are made into the short fibers with 10 mm x 10 mm x 5 mm size. The Epoxy Resin-LY556(Di glycidyl ether of bi phenol) and Hardner-HYD951 (Tetra mine), the water absorption behaviors are analyzed in the coir and Sisal short fibers reinforced epoxy composites. The water absorption behaviors of the epoxy composites reinforced with the coir and sisal short fibers with 25, 30 and 35wt% were analyzed at three different water environments, such as sea water, distilled water, and tap water for 12 days at room temperature. It was observed that the composites show the high level of the water absorption percentage at sea water immersion as compared to the other water environments. Due to the water absorption, the mechanical properties of macro particle/epoxy composites were decreased at all weight percentages.

Abstract:
The use of fibre-reinforced polymers for repair and retrofit is growing at an unprecedented rate. This technique has been used for strengthening and rehabilitation of columns, beams, masonry, joints, etc. and has also found significant suitability for seismic applications. All research to date has focused, however, on wraps and jackets with continuous, unidirectional fibres. Within the auspices of Network of Centers of Excellence on Intelligent Sensing for Innovative Structures (ISIS) program, an entirely new method of fibre reinforced polymer coating is being developed. In this method, the composite with short, randomly distributed fibres is sprayed on the surface of concrete to be repaired. Composite gets pneumatically compacted on the application surface and develops a strong bond with concrete during the hardening process. In this paper, the effectiveness of the spray technique is compared with wraps carrying continuous fibres when applied to concrete cylinders under compression. To assess size effects, a companion test series involving larger cylinders was carried out. It was found that sprayed composites with randomly distributed short fibres performed equally well as or even better than wraps with continuous fibres. Within the continuous fibre wraps, those with a 0-90° fibre orientation are far more effective than those with a ±45° orientation.Key words: concrete, repair, glass fibre, polymer matrix, spray, wraps, deformability, size effects.

Abstract:
The utilization of natural fibres as reinforcement in polymer composites has been increased significantly for their lightweight, low cost, high specific strength, modulus and biodegradable characteristic. In this present work, the mechanical properties of randomly distributed short coir-fibre-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites have been studied as a function of fibre loading. In order to improve the composite’s mechanical properties, raw coir fibres were treated with 1% alkali (NaOH) solution. Both raw and alkali treated coir-fibre-reinforced PP composites were prepared with different fibre loadings (10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 wt%) using a double roller open mixer machine and injection molding machine. The mechanical properties, such as tensile strength (TS), tensile modulus (TM), flexural strength (FS) and flexural modulus (FM) were investigated for the prepared composites. The alkali treated coir-fibre-reinforced PP composites showed better results in mechanical properties compared to untreated composites. Finally, the optical microscopic studies were carried out on fractured surfaces of the tensile test specimens, which indicated weak interfacial bonding between the fibre and the polymer.

Abstract:
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been successfully applied for the fabrication of polymer components ranging from prototypes to final products. An issue, however, is that the resulting 3D printed parts exhibit inferior mechanical performance to parts fabricated using conventional polymer processing technologies, such as compression moulding. The addition of fibres and other materials into the polymer matrix to form a composite can yield a significant enhancement in the structural strength of printed polymer parts. This review focuses on the enhanced mechanical performance obtained through the printing of fibre-reinforced polymer composites, using the fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing technique. The uses of both short and continuous fibre-reinforced polymer composites are reviewed. Finally, examples of some applications of FFF printed polymer composites using robotic processes are highlighted.

This paper deals with the synthesis of shortSaccaharum Cilliarefibre (SC) reinforced Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) matrix based polymer composites. Present work reveals that mechanical properties such as: tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength and wear resistance of the UF matrix increase up to 30% fibre loading(in terms of weight) and then decreases for higher loading when fibers are incorporated into the matrix polymer. Morphological and Thermal studies of the matrix, fibre and short fibre reinforced (SF-Rnf) green composites have also been carried out. The results obtained emphasize the applications of these fibres, as potential reinforcing materials in bio based composites.

Abstract:
A study in accelerated humidity–temperature ageing and it is numerical modelling for short fibre reinforced polymer composites (SFRPC) based on poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) is reported. Authors described experimental results of humidity–temperature ageing of PBT reinforced with glass fibres and proposed a novel computation method of strength and durability analysis for SFRPC parts. Experimental results showed different ageing behaviours, which depend on fibre alignment, e.g. a decrease of Young’s modulus in longitudinal fibre alignment in tension after ageing, an increase of Young’s modulus in transverse direction in tension after ageing, and the increase of the shear modulus and decrease of shear strength after ageing in both directions. Proposed modelling procedure takes the fibre orientation from mould filling analysis as an independent material orientation, using a developed ageing dependent material model, based on tensile, compressive, and shear properties for longitudinal and transverse fibre alignments, and calculates failure criteria as a function of the ageing time and fibre alignment. An innovative approach is to create a fibre alignment dependent material ageing model which takes into account changes of material properties depending on the direction of the reinforcement. This methodology was extended to arbitrary models and validated on real parts made of SFRPC.

Electrically conductive composites were made from short glass fibre (GF) and carbon black (CB) blended with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) using a single screw extruder. The Young’s modulus, tensile and impact strengths were improved with the addition of GF, and the surface conductivity in the static dissipative range of 10-6 to 10-9 S was achieved at CB content as low as 1 wt%, significantly lower than that in the unreinforced CB/HDPE. Addition of a coupling agent (MAPE) improved bonding between fibres and the polymer matrix and increased the stiffness and fracture resistance.

Abstract:
This research article investigated the notch sensitivity of two different glass fibre architectures, namely short and 2D plain-woven glass fibres reinforced with unsaturated polyester and epoxy matrix composites fabricated by the hand lay-up technique. This was carried out through open hole tension tests at different ratios of the specimen hole diameter to the specimen with three different values (0.1, 0.2, 0.5) compared to the unnotched specimen. The notch sensitivity of these composites was evaluated using the residual tensile strength by the application of Whitney–Nuismer Mathematical Model. The results showed that by using polyester matrix, the notch sensitivity of composites reinforced with plain-woven glass fibre is higher than that of short glass fibre at different D/W ratios. On the other hand, on testing epoxy matrixes, the notch sensitivity of composites reinforced with plain-woven glass fibre is lower than that of short glass fibre at different D/W ratios.

Abstract:
Applications of short fibre reinforced polymer composites (SFRPCs) have been rapidly increasing and most of the components made of these materials are subjected to cyclic loading. In automotive applications, “under the hood” is the harshest environmental condition for plastic-based materials with temperatures ranging from -40°C to 120°C. Components are subjected to mechanical vibrations primarily as a result of the periodic excitation and the dynamics of the engine firing. It is important, therefore, to design and test the components accurately so as to minimise the risk of component failure during the expected lifetime of the vehicle. Taking this into account, this thesis investigated if the current test methods being used at Scania ensured a valid fatigue testing of engine components made of SFRPCs. An extensive literature review was carried out detailing the work published on SFRPC fatigue to-date and the methods currently used at Scania NMBT were detailed. A series of sine and random vibration tests were then performed to characterise material behaviour in addition to Dynamic Mechanical Analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopy of failed specimens. The results of these, combined with the knowledge gathered in the literature review, resulted in a number of suggestions to adapt the current test methods with the aim of increasing their validity for SFRPCs.

Abstract:
End-gated and centre gated mouldings have been assessed with varying thickness and sprue geometries for the centre gate. Alternative image analysis techniques are used to measure the orientation and length of injection moulded short and long fibres composite components. The fibre orientation distribution (FOD) measurements for both geometries have been taken along the flow path. In shear flow the FOD changes along the flow path, however the FOD remains relatively constant during expansion flow. The core width and FOD at the skin within a long glass fibre (LGF) specimen is different in comparison to a short glass fibre (SGF) specimen. Fibre length measurements have been taken from the extrudate, sprue and 2 positions within the centre gate cavity. The size of the sprue has little influence on fibre breakage if the moulding is more than 1 mm thick The SGF FOD prediction models within Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight 2014 (ASMI) have been validated against measured SGF data. At present, by default, the models over-predict the < cos2θ > for most geometries. When the coefficients are tailored for each model, drastic improvements are seen in the FOD prediction. The recently developed SGF RSC model accurately predicts the FOD in shear, in a thin geometry, whereas the Folgar-Tucker model predicts the FOD accurately in expansion flow. The measured LGF fibre length distribution (FLD) and FOD have been validated against the LGF prediction models. The LGF models are currently under predicting the breakage and over-predicting < cos2θ >. The breakage prediction improves if measured FLD of the extrudate is input into the model.

Ce travail traite de l'étude des suspensions de particules axisymétriques et rigides dans une matrice fluide. Plus précisément, nous nous sommes intéressés au comportement rhéologique de ces matériaux. Le contexte industriel associe est la mise en forme des thermoplastiques renforces par des fibres courtes. Dans une partie théorique, nous proposons un modèle de comportement, issu d'une approche micromécanique, pour les suspensions de sphéroïdes rigides dans une matrice newtonienne : une loi reliant les contraintes et les taux de déformations macroscopiques, une équation pour décrire le mouvement des particules. Ce modèle de comportement est applicable au cas des solutions en régime semi-dilue. Dans une partie expérimentale, nous proposons d'identifier des paramètres rhéologiques du modèle de comportement. A cet effet, des mesures de viscosité en cisaillement sont présentées, ainsi qu'un nouvel écoulement. Ce dernier écoulement, dit écoulement en croix, doit permettre d'identifier le paramètre rhéologique caractérisant l'anisotropie des suspensions.

Abstract:
Le présent travail de thèse se consacre au développement d'un nouveau modèle micromécanique pour les composites en thermoplastique renforcé par des fibres de verre courtes. L'objectif est notamment la modélisation du comportement visco-endommageable en fatigue du PA66-GF30. Ce matériau, particulièrement utilisé dans l'industrie automobile, est sujet à une microstructure spécifique issue du procédé de moulage par injection. L'approche multi-échelles développée consiste en une méthode de Mori-Tanaka modifiée, appliquée à des renforts avec enrobage et prenant en compte l'évolution de l'endommagement à l'échelle microscopique. La description des mécanismes d'endommagement se base sur une investigation expérimentale poussée préalablement menée au sein de l'équipe. Des scénarios d'endommagement ont été proposés et incluent trois processus locaux différents : la décohésion de l'interface, la microfissuration de la matrice et les ruptures de fibres. Ceux-ci sont spécialement affectés par la microstructure. L'approche développée intègre ces cinétiques d'endommagement ainsi que la viscoélasticité non-linéaire de la matrice et la distribution d'orientation des inclusions due au procédé de fabrication. Chaque mécanisme d'endommagement est modélisé par une loi d'évolution basée sur les contraintes locales calculées à l'échelle microscopique. La loi constitutive finale, à l'échelle du volume élémentaire représentatif, est implémentée dans une bibliothèque scientifique en C++, SMART+, et est conçue pour être compatible avec une analyse de structures par éléments finis. L'identification du modèle est réalisée par rétro-ingénierie, en tirant profit de résultats expérimentaux multi-échelles, dont notamment des tests in-situ au MEB ainsi qu'une analyse qualitative et quantitative par μCT
The current work focuses on a new micromechanical high cycle fatigue visco-damage model for short glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, namely: PA66/GF30. This material, extensively used for automotive applications, has a specific microstructure which is induced by the injection process. The multi-scale developed approach is a modified Mori-Tanaka method that includes coated reinforcements and the evolution of micro-scale damage processes. Their description is based on the experimental investigations of damage mechanisms previously performed by the team. Damage chronologies have been proposed involving three different local degradation processes: fiber-matrix interface debonding/coating degradation, matrix microcracking and fiber breakage. Their occurrence strongly depends on the microstructure. The developed model integrates these damage kinetics and accounts for the complex matrix viscoelasticity and the reinforcement orientation distributions induced by the process. Each damage mechanism is introduced through an evolution law involving local stress fields computed at the microscale. The developed constitutive law at the representative volume element scale is implemented into a C++ scientific library, SMART+, and is designed to work with Finite Element Methods. The model identification is performed via reverse engineering, taking advantage of the multiscale experimental results: in-situ SEM tests as well as quantitative and qualitative μCT investigations

Abstract:
With industries aiming at higher efficiencies, lightweight parts, and easier manufacturability there has been a recent trend of replacing the metallic materials with polymeric materials and its composites. Particularly in the automotive industry, there is a demand of replacing metallic material of bushes and bearings with polymer based materials (PBM). For these heavy performance requirements (as in automobiles), the commonly used industrial polymers like Acetal and Nylon fail to provide good mechanical and tribological performance. High-performance polymer like Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) is a relatively newer material and shows a potential of being a PBM alternative for metallic bearings in automobiles if their tribological performance can be improved.  One of the ways of improving the tribological performance of the polymer is by the addition of filler material, hence making a polymer composite. In this study, we used Short Carbon Fibre as micro-reinforcement material and Nano-diamonds and Graphene Oxide as nano-reinforcement material to make PPS composites. The varying mechanical and tribological behaviour of PPS composites with different weight percentage of reinforcement materials was investigated. The optimum composition of the reinforcement materials was identified, which resulted in significant improvement in mechanical and tribological properties of the base material.

Abstract:
Ce travail porte sur la mise en forme des matériaux composites à matrice polymère renforcée par des fibres courtes dont les performances physiques et mécaniques sont directement reliées à la distribution spatiale et à l’orientation des renforts employés. Il se focalise sur l’étude des mécanismes de déformation se produisant au cours de l’écoulement de ces systèmes qui se comportent comme des suspensions de fibres non-newtoniennes. Le problème est abordé par une procédure originale combinant images 3D acquises en temps réel et simulations numériques avancées, réalisées à l’échelle des fibres. Dans le premier cas, des suspensions modèles avec fluide suspensif non-newtonien ont été déformées en compression dans des conditions confinées dans un microtomographe à rayons X synchrotron. Cette technique a permis l’acquisition en temps réel de clichés 3D à forte résolution spatiale de l’écoulement des suspensions. Dans le deuxième cas, un code de calculs éléments finis 3D a été utilisé, celui-ci étant capable de décrire finement des objets immergés dans des fluides non-newtoniens, par des level-sets et des techniques de remaillage anisotrope. La pertinence des simulations numériques dans les régimes de concentration dilués à semi-dilués a été jaugée par une comparaison expériences-simulations avancée.De là, dans le régime de concentration dilué, nous montrons que le confinement de l’écoulement et le comportement rhéofluidifiant du fluide suspensif ont une influence mineure sur la cinématique des fibres, si ces dernières sont suffisamment éloignées des plateaux de compression. Si ce prérequis n’est pas respecté, l’effet du confinement devient important. Des modifications au modèle heuristique d’haltère de la littérature ont été proposées pour corriger la cinématique de fibres. Dans le régime semi-dilué, des déviations de la cinématique de fibres sont également observées au cœur des suspensions. Ces déviations sont principalement liées aux interactions hydrodynamiques entre fibres suffisamment voisines. La cinématique des fibres prédite par le modèle de Jeffery et les approximations de champ affine sont mises en défaut. Dans le régime concentré, si l’évolution de l’orientation globale de la suspension est étonnamment bien décrite par l’équation de Jeffery, de très importantes fluctuations des champs de translation et de rotation des fibres sont observées à l’échelle des fibres. Celles-ci sont induites par les nombreux contacts entre fibres qui peuvent par ailleurs être correctement prédits par le modèle de tube
This study focuses on the processing of short fibre-reinforced polymer composites. The physical and mechanical properties of these materials are mainly affected by the position and orientation distribution of fibres induced during their forming. Thus, we analysed the flow-induced micro-mechanisms that arose at the fibre scale during the forming stage of these complex systems which behave as non-Newtonian fibre suspensions. For that purpose, an original approach was developed by combining 3D imaging technique and direct numerical simulation, both performed at the fibre scale. Hence, several model fibre suspensions with a non-Newtonian suspending fluid and with a concentration regime that ranged from dilute to concentrated were prepared . They were subjected to confined lubricated compression loadings using a rheometer mounted on a synchrotron X-ray microtomograph. Thanks to very short scanning times, 3D images of the evolving fibrous microstructures at high spatial resolution were recorded in real-time. These experiments were also simulated using a dedicated Finite Element library enabling an accurate description of fibre kinematics in complex suspending fluids thanks to high performance computation, level sets and adaptive anisotropic meshing. The efficiency of the numerical simulation from the dilute to semi-dilute concentration regimes was assessed through experimental and numerical comparisons.Then, we showed that the confinement effect and the non-Newtonian rheology of the suspending fluid had a weak effect on the fibre kinematics, if the fibres were sufficiently far from the compression platens, typically the fibre-platen distance should be larger than twice the fibre diameter. Otherwise, confinement effects occurred. Some extensions of the dumbbell model were proposed to correct the fibre kinematics in this flow conditions. In semi-dilute concentration, deviations of the fibre kinematics compared to the Jeffery’s predictions were also observed and related to hydrodynamic interactions between fibres. In this case, the predictions of Jeffery’s model and the related assumption of affine fibre motions are less relevant. In the concentrated regime, even if the overall orientation of fibre suspension could be astonishingly well described by using the Jeffery’s model, strong fluctuations on each fibre motion and rotation were observed. These deviations were induced by the numerous fibre-fibre contacts, which could be correctly predicted by the tube model

Abstract:
The use of fiber-reinforced polymer composites formed via injection molding is of increasing interest due to their superior mechanical properties as compared to those of the polymer matrix alone. These mechanical properties, however, are strongly dependent on the fiber length and orientation distributions within a molded part. As such, there is a need to understand and model the orientation evolution of chopped fibers in flow in order to accurately simulate the final fiber orientation distribution within injection molded parts. As a result of this, accurate and reliable experimental measurement of fiber orientation is needed. Within this research, the application and validity of the Method of Ellipses for determining the orientation of long, semi-flexible glass fibers within injection molded composites has been investigated. A fiber suspension with an average length of approximately 3.9 mm was the focus of this study and assumed to be representative of commercial distributions. A novel method to quantify fiber curvature was developed and utilized to show that flexibility in center-gated disc and the end-gated plaque samples was minimal on average for the selected fiber length distribution. Thus, it was determined that the Method of Ellipses was applicable when utilized to obtain reliable orientation data for the selected long glass fiber suspension and within the chosen geometries that exhibit 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional velocity fields. However, a modified image analysis width was found to be necessary in regions of highly aligned fibers, due to the increase in ellipse size and the need to reduce the number of partial objects and thus minimize error. This allowed for a direct comparison of the experimental orientation behavior of short and long glass fibers within the center-gated disc and the end-gated plaque, as well as the effect of the orientation distributions on the global modulus of the part.

Abstract:
It is generally accepted that the mechanical properties of short fibre reinforced thermoplastics do not correspond with the high mechanical properties of fibres used to reinforce them. A study is made into the methods of compounding reinforcing fibres into thermoplastics to produce short fibre reinforced thermoplastics of enhanced properties. The initial method chosen for investigation is the twin screw extrusion compounding process. Variables such as fibre feeding arrangement and extrusion screw design are found to be factors influencing the properties of carbon and glass reinforced nylon 6,6. Use is made of computer programs to predict properties, assess compound quality and estimate fibre-matrix bond strength. Investigations indicate that the presence of reinforcing fibres with enhanced lengths does not result in the predicted property increases. The reasons for this shortfall are believed to lie in unfavourable fibre orientation in injection mouldings and the reduced strain to break of these materials. Short Kevlar reinforced thermoplastics are compounded and their mechanical properties assessed. The reasons for the poor mechanical properties for these materials are identified as a poor bond strength between fibre and matrix, the formation of points of weakness within the fibres by the compounding and moulding processes and the coiled arrangement of fibres present in injection mouldings. A method suitable for the routine assessment of fibre-matrix bond strength is used to examine combinations of fibre and thermoplastic matrix. A comparison is made of the values derived from this method with values calculated from stress-strain curves of injection mouldings. This allows an understanding of the nature of the fibre-matrix bond yielded by compounding and injection moulding steps. A description is given of a novel method designed to overcome the limitations of conventional compounding routes to produce long fibre reinforced injection moulding feedstock. Further work is necessary before this method is a feasible production technique.

Abstract:
<p>The aim of the present Structural Engineering Document, a state-of-the-art report, is to review the progress made worldwide in the use of fibre rein­forced polymers as structural components in bridges until the end of the year 2000.<p> Due to their advantageous material properties such as high specific strength, a large tolerance for frost and de-icing salts and, furthermore, short installation times with minimum traffic interference, fibre reinforced polymers have matured to become valuable alternative building materials for bridge structures. Today, fibre reinforced polymers are manufactured industrially to semi-finished products and ccimplete structural components, which can be easily and quickly installed or erected on site.<p> Examples of semi-finished products and structural components available are flexible tension elements, profiles stiff in bending and sandwich panels. As tension elements, especially for the purpose of strengthening, strips and sheets are available, as weil as reinforcing bars for concrete reinforcement and prestressing members for internal prestressing or external use. Profiles are available for beams and columns, and sandwich constructions especially for bridge decks. During the manufacture of the structural components fibre-optic sensors for continuous monitoring can be integrated in the materials. Adhesives are being used more and more for joining com­ponents.<p> Fibre reinforced polymers have been used in bridge construction since the mid-1980s, mostly for the strengthening of existing structures, and increas­ingly since the mid-1990s as pilot projects for new structures. In the case of new structures, three basic types of applications can be distinguished: concrete reinforcement, new hybrid structures in combination with traditional construction materials, and all-composite applications, in which the new materials are used exclusively.<p> This Structural Engineering Document also includes application and research recommendations with particular reference to Switzerland.<p> This book is aimed at both students and practising engineers, working in the field of fibre reinforced polymers, bridge design, construction, repair and strengthening.

Abstract:
The future water depth capabilities for unbonded flexible pipes is being pushed by NKT Flexibles I/S through the development of an innovative flexible pipe structure, taking full advantage of the material characteristics of metallic, polymeric and fibre reinforced materials. The fluid tight liner and possible insulation of this pipe structure are supported by an inner armour, capable of carrying the external hydrostatic pressure, clamp and crushing loads, as well as axial compression load, and an outer armour, consisting of two cross wound layers of carbon/epoxy composites, carrying the internal pressure as well as end cap forces and applied tension. A permeable and radially flexible outer layer protects the composite armour. Combining known and well-proven flexible pipe technologies and new solutions for materials, structure and functionality of the flexible pipe, positions this future product outside the present industry standards for flexible pipes, e.g. API-17J. The analysis tools used for the conventional flexible pipes are validated by NKT according to the API-17J specification. The API-17J describes load cases and corresponding allowable utilization ratios, stated as design criteria. However, this approach is not directly applicable to the composite pipe, where the same analysis tools will be used, but the material in one of the two primary load bearing layers is made of fibre reinforced polymer, a material class not covered by the API allowable utilization factors. The DNV offshore standard DNV-OS-C501 considers any offshore structure in which the load bearing material is a composite. An accompanying Recommended Practice DNV-RP-F202 for composite risers has also been issued, but is not applicable to the composite flexible pipe. The design equations of the DNV standard are formulated in the so-called Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) format, where partial safety factors are applied to the load effects and to the resistance variables that enter the design equations. The DNV standard DNV-OS-C501 covers composite materials and composite metal interfaces of a structure, metal parts should be designed according to other relevant standards. The API standard can therefore be used for the metal parts. One of the challenges in using this combined approach is the different ways loads are defined in the two standards. In short, this will result in a conventional API design check of the inner armour, the polymer layers, and the secondary layers, whereas the composite tensile armour, special intermediate layers and the interfaces will be analyzed with composite specific tools based on the criteria derived from the DNV standard. The qualification procedure is described and exemplified in the following.

Abstract:
By using the internal state variable (ISV) theory (Horstemeyer and Bammann, 2010), we developed a finite deformation anisotropic and temperature dependent constitutive model to predict elastoviscoplasticity and progressive damage behavior of short fiber reinforced polymer (SFRP) composites. In this model, the SFRP is considered as a simple anisotropic equivalent medium (lamina), and the rate dependent plastic behavior of the SFRP is captured with the help of three physically-based ISVs. A second-order damage tensor is introduced to describe the anisotropic damage state of the SFRP and the tensorial damage evolution equations are used based on the damage mechanism of micro voids/cracks nucleation, growth and coalescence. The constitutive model developed herein arises employing standard postulates of continuum mechanics with the kinematics, thermodynamics, and kinetics being internally consistent. The developed model is then calibrated to a 35 wt% glass fiber reinforced polyamide 66 (PA66GF-35) for future numerical analyses.

Abstract:
Abstract Composite materials such as carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) and glass-fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRP) have been attracting much attention from the viewpoint of lightweight solution of automobiles and airplanes. However, the recyclability of these composite materials is not sufficient and the environmental load is large. Recently, self-reinforced polymer (SRP), in which similar polymer is used for reinforcing fibers and matrix, has been proposed. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) reinforced with ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers, so-called self-reinforced PE (SRPE), is one of the promising thermoplastic composites. In this study, SRPE plates were made and the tensile tests were carried out. After the effect of reinforcement of UHMWPE fibers was evaluated on the basis of the tensile strength, the relationship between the distribution of UHMWPE fibers and the location of the final fracture line was examined. It was found from these experimental results that the fracture tends to occur along the regions with low area fraction of fibers or along those with low area fraction of fiber/matrix boundaries. This fact suggests that the fracture location of SRPs is predictable from the distribution of reinforcing fibers.

Abstract:
Incorporation of multifunctionality to fibre reinforced polymer composite materials delivers many benefits. One example includes improved longevity of components through increasing permissible temperatures of operation, which could be achieved via in-situ cooling. As the temperature of composite components approaches the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the matrix, thermal stress induced ageing greatly increases [1], [2], thus the incentive for integrated cooling. In order to assess the damage, which could be caused by exposure to elevated temperatures, isothermal ageing was performed at a temperature 15°C lower than the materials Tg (2200 hours at 110°C). Material used in this study is a carbon/epoxy prepreg system (Gurit, SE70), with a Tg of 126°C when cured at 110°C. Results have shown a significant drop in Short Beam Shear (SBS) Strength starting after exposure for 1700h and increase in fibre bridging seen in mode I Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) testing. Fracture surface analysis using SEM indicated that fibres were generally less well bonded to the matrix, with visible changes began occurring as early as 1000h exposure. These results indicate that extended exposure of a material at near Tg temperatures has a detrimental effect on material properties. To mitigate against this phenomenon, a series of tests were performed on SBS and DCB specimens in a raised temperature (110°C) environment, which incorporated in-situ cooling. The specimens were placed in an oven at 110°C and were cooled down to a constant temperature of 60°C via the internal vascular cooling arrangement. Further testing is underway to assess the inhibition of ageing and maintenance of the original composite material by active cooling using embedded vascular networks.

Abstract:
Abstract In this study, the damage analysis of hybrid carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composited with vertically aligned zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires is investigated numerically. The effect of growing nanowires on improving the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of the hybrid structures is explored. The multi-scale model developed to make a bridge between the materials with different length scales available in the hybrid structures, including micro-scale, meso-scale, and macros-scale. The vertically aligned ZnO nanowires on the lamina and embedded in the epoxy matrix creates an enhancement layer. The effective material properties of this layer are evaluated at micro-scale by homogenization analysis. The cohesive zone method is employed in the meso-scale to explore the interfacial behavior and delamination (interlaminar damage) between the homogenized stacking layer and the CFRP lamina. Besides, the strain-based failure criterion is implemented at the macro-scale to investigate the progressive damage of fiber and matrix in CFRP plies. This analysis is programmed in user-defined subroutine linked to ABAQUS finite element software. The three-dimensional hybrid composite short beam in the three-point bending load is simulated in ABAQUS Explicit packager, and the ILSS is obtained. The damage behavior of hybrid composite is compared to the bare CFRP beam. The results indicate that aligning nanowires on the plies improves the performance of CFRP composites.

Full text
Abstract:
Due to its low price and high mechanical property, basalt fiber (BF) is emerging as a novel reinforcement for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) instead of glass fiber. The research about basalt fiber reinforced composites (BFRP) is insufficient in particularly for the long term life. Therefore, in order to apply BFRP into practical use, the current study was focused on mechanical property and their durable property. Firstly, one layer and six layers laminated unidirectional basalt fiber fabric reinforced unsaturated polyester were made by hand-layup method and tested by tensile, 3-point bending, short span bending and drill hole experiments. On the other hand, for the unidirectional basalt fiber fabric reinforced epoxy which are expected to be used in civil engineering, water and alkali solution immersion at various temperatures were carried out. The evolution of the mechanical properties along with ageing time was investigated. The results indicate that it is needed to improve the interface property between basalt fiber and polymer through surface treatment for enhanced durability performance.

Abstract:
The quest for improvement of thermal conductivity in aerospace structures is gaining momentum. This is even more important as modern day aerospace structures are embedded with electronics which generate considerable amounts of heat energy. This generated heat if not dissipated might potentially affect the structural integrity of the composite structure. The use of polymer based composites in aerospace applications has also increased due to their obvious superior specific properties. But the thermal conductivity of the polymer matrix is very low and not suited for the design demands in aerospace applications. Several research studies have been conducted to improve the thermal conductivity of the polymeric composites. Different fillers have been used to improve the thermal conductivity of the polymeric matrix. Fillers may be in the form of fibers or in the form of particles uniformly distributed in the polymer matrix. The thermophysical properties of fiber filled composites are anisotropic, except for the very short, randomly distributed fibers, while the thermophysical properties of particle filled polymers are isotropic. Numerous studies have also been conducted in recent years where nanoparticles have been dispersed in the polymeric matrix to improve the thermal conductivity. Putman et al. [1] used the 3ω method to study the thermal conductivity of composites of nanoscale alumina particles in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) matrices in the temperature range 40 to 280 K. For 10% of 60 nm of alumina particle filler by weight (3.5% by volume) thermal conductivity of the composite slightly decreased at low temperatures. Whereas, above 100 K, thermal conductivity of the nanocomposite increased by 4% at room temperature. Kruger and Alam [2] studied the thermal conductivity of aligned, vapor grown carbon nanoscale fiber reinforced polypropylene composite. They measured thermal conductivity by laser flash instrument in the longitudinal and transverse directions for 9%, 17% and 23% fiber reinforcements by volume. The values of thermal conductivity as reported by them were 2.09, 2.75, 5.38 W/m.K for the longitudinal directions and 2.42, 2.47, 2.49 W/m-K for the transverse direction respectively, while the thermal conductivity of unfilled PP was 0.24 W/m-K. Exfoliated graphite platelets are another filler material of promise for improving the thermo-mechanical properties of the polymeric matrix. Aylsworth [3, 4] developed and proposed expanded graphite as reinforcement of polymers in 1910s. Lincoln and Claude [5] in 1980s proposed the dispersion of intercalated graphite in polymeric resins by conventional composite processing techniques. Since that time, research has been conducted on exfoliated graphite reinforced polymers using graphite particles of various dimensions and a wide range of polymers. Drzal et al. [6] have demonstrated the use of exfoliated graphite platelets to enhance the thermal and mechanical properties of polymeric resins. They concluded that composites made by in situ processing have better mechanical properties compared to composites made by melt-mixing or other ex situ fabrication methods due to better dispersion, prevention of agglomeration and stronger interactions between the reinforcement and the polymer. In the present study we use silver nano-filaments, nickel nano-filaments, alumina and exfoliated graphite platelets to enhance the thermal conductivity of an epoxy thermoset resin. The objective of this research is to identify the right filler to achieve the thermal conductivity as required by aerospace design engineers which is around 10 W/ m-K. An arbitrary filler loading of 8 wt% was chosen to compare the different fillers used in this study.
