The article presents results of studies of experimental carbon plastics based on thermosetting PMRpolyimide binder. Сarbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are made from prepregs prepared by melt and mortar technologies, so the rheological properties of the polyimide binder were investigated. The heat resistance of carbon plastics was researched and its elastic-strength characteristics were determined at temperatures up to 320°С. The fundamental possibility of manufacturing carbon fiber from prepregs based on polyimide binder, obtained both by melt and mortar technologies, is shown. CFRPs made from two types of prepregs have a high glass transition temperature: 364°C (melt) and 367°C (solution), with this temperature remaining at the 97% level after boiling, and also at approximately the same (86–97%) level of conservation of elastic strength properties at temperature 300°С.

Water Saturated

The sharply continental climate of the Irkutsk region is characterized by wide temperature intervals throughout the year. The repeated cyclicity of freezing and thawing of building materials in the water-saturated state influences the change in technical characteristics and the durability of concrete products and structures. The concrete products’ features in such climatic conditions create the need for the production of concretes with improved indicators of physical and mechanical properties. The effect of modifying additives on the technological characteristics of sulfur concrete is established. The effect of all elements of sulfur concrete on its strength and frost resistance. The composition of sulfuric concrete is obtained, which meets all the requirements and also has high strength and increased frost resistance. Formulations with a certain ratio of structural sulfuric concrete mixtures were developed. As a result of the use of technical sulfur in the composition of concrete products, the problem of utilizing annually accumulating reserves of technical sulfur is partially solved. The strength properties of sulfuric concretes easily compete with high-quality brands of concrete, special types of concretes that have in their composition additives.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced

Water absorption behavior and flexural strength properties of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) under hot-wet environment were examined. Those of epoxy resin were also examined for reference. Weight gains of CFRP and epoxy resin were measured after immersion in distilled water at temperatures under 90°C. Quasi-static flexural tests of CFRP and epoxy resin were conducted after immersion for 180 days. Weight gains of CFRP and epoxy resin increased with increasing water temperature. After immersion for 180 days at 90°C, weight gain of CFRP became 3.3times higher and that of epoxy resin was 2.3 times higher than that at RT, respectively. When CFRP and epoxy resin were immersed in distilled water at 90°C, weight gains of CFRP and epoxy resin increased and then decreased. Flexural strengths of CFRP and epoxy resin decreased in distilled water at temperatures less than 90°C. Flexural strengths of dried CFRP and epoxy resin after immersion recovered but were lower than that of virgin CFRP and epoxy resin. Debonding of fiber/resin interface and crack initiation in epoxy resin in distilled water resulted in the strength reduction.

Induced Stresses

Due to the different thermal expansion of the constituent materials, cyclic thermal loading of fibre reinforced plastics induces alternating stresses in the material at two scales: (1) at the microscale (level of fibre–matrix-interaction) and (2) at the macroscale (level of the multidirectional laminate). Especially the effect of the thermal-induced stresses at the microscale is not comprehensively investigated yet. In the present paper, the effects of both scales are analysed. For the investigation of the microscale effect, unidirectional laminates are thermally cycled between 293 K and 90 K up to 1000 times. Afterwards, by mechanical tests at room temperature, the elasticity and strength properties in the different material directions are determined as function of the number of thermal cycles. Additionally, thermally cycled specimens are microscopically investigated in order to observe the matrix crack forming process at thermal fatigue loading. Contrary to the expectations, no significant matrix cracking and therefore no significant reduction of the elasticity and strength properties due to the thermal cycling are observed. In order to analyse the effect of the superposition of the thermal-induced stresses on micro- and macroscale, cross-ply laminates are investigated in the same manner. In these laminates matrix cracks are detected after 1000 cycles, which, however, do not reduce the stiffness and strength of the cross-ply laminates.

Concrete Ceiling

The process of producing a monolithic concrete structure on site is constructed out under different climatic conditions, which can often be unsuitable for setting and hardening of concrete. The necessary conditions for setting and hardening of concrete are ensured by various ways of its curing. In practice, concrete curing is carried out in most cases by water spraying. It is used mostly in reinforced concrete ceiling slabs, which are further discussed in the work. A common procedure is to cure the upper surface of reinforced concrete ceiling slabs. This work therefore deals with the effect of curing of a reinforced concrete slab, on its strength properties. Long-term curing would yield higher values of compressive strength, but it is also necessary to consider how effective it is. As a pilot research in this work is investigating the properties of concrete cubes in various curing. It further develops theoretical possibilities for continuing research.

Reliability Based Design

Composite materials and laminates are being widely used in aerospace and automotive industries due to their less weight to stiffness ratio. Especially the use of composite laminates, made up of Carbon or Graphite Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP/GFRP), in military and commercial aircraft structures has progressed steadily over the past few decades. Drilling holes and making cutouts in these laminates are unavoidable for practical reasons. These holes (or) cutouts introduces stress concentration near the hole (or) cutout edge and reduces the load-bearing capacity of the structure. Cutouts are made at the edges of composite laminates for practical purposes, which is capable of reducing the delamination effect in notched laminates. The stress distribution in notched composite laminates can vary according to the location of the notch in the laminate, which leads to the variation in strength and reliability values of notched laminates. The objective of the present work is to study the effect of notch location on the stress concentration and reliability of notched composite laminates. Composite laminate displays significant variation in material and strength properties and the stress distribution in the laminate becomes stochastic in nature. Thus the notched laminates were analyzed using a stochastic approach and designed based on a reliability-based design approach.

Abstract The paper concerns an application of lightness factors in comparative analysis of strength properties of basic materials being applied in aeronautical structures – in a historical perspective. The use of lightness factors enables effective estimation how lighter will be the structural elements (of the same strength or stiffness) made from different kind of materials : traditional as well as advanced composites. It is quite easy to find the solution to the inverse problem, i.e. to estimate how differ will be stiffness or strength for the same mass of the structural elements. Very particular application of the lightness factors are noted in engineers calculations of composite gliders wing spars, where they appears as the materials constants and as structure loading factors as well. The paper presents some examples of application of the lightness factors in strength analysis of the composite shells applied in the shear webs of the wing spars, and refers to the design recommendations issued by German aviation authority (LBA).
