Discarded polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles have damaged our ecosystem. Problems of marine fauna conservation and land fertility have been related to the disposal of these materials. Recycled fibre is an opportunity to reduce the levels of waste in the world and increase the mechanical performance of the concrete. PET as concrete reinforcement has demonstrated ductility and post-cracking strength. However, its performance could be optimized. This study considers a statistical-experimental analysis to evaluate recycled PET fibre reinforced concrete with various fibre dose and aspect ratio. 120 samples were experimented under workability, compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile tests. The results pointed out that the fibre dose has more influence on the responses than its fibre aspect ratio, with statistical relation on the tensional toughness, equivalent flexural strength ratio, volumetric weight, and the number of fibres. Moreover, the fibre aspect ratio has a statistical impact on the tensional toughness. In general, the data indicates that the optimal recycled PET fibre reinforced concrete generates a superior performance than control samples, with an improvement similar to those reinforced with virgin fibres.

Fibre Aspect Ratio

The predictions of the Halpin equation concerning the effect of fibre volume fraction and fibre aspect ratio on the effective tensile modulus of uniaxially aligned short-fibre composites are compared with computational experiments on three-dimensional, multiparticle composite samples. The method of boundary elements is used to model the mechanical behaviour of composite specimens consisting of up to 40 discrete aligned fibres randomly dispersed in an elastic matrix. Statistical averages of computational results relating the effective tensile modulus to the aspect ratio and volume fraction of the fibres are found to agree very well with the predictions of the Halpin equation for fibre aspect ratio up to 10 and fibre volume fractions up to 20%. Computational results seem to indicate that the predictions of the Halpin equation fall bellow those of micro-mechanical models at higher volume fractions.

Dissection Method

Summary This paper demonstrates how the Taguchi method of experimental design can be utilised to investigate methods for relieving the residual stresses present in medium density fibreboard (MDF). Panels have been subjected to heat, moisture and pressure, and after equilibration to room conditions, the changes in residual stresses through various layers have been measured using the dissection method. The application of heat and/or moisture has reduced the magnitude of residual stresses while generally the application of pressure has no effect on these stresses. The subsequent paper in this series uses Taguchi analysis to investigate how other board properties such as thickness swell, internal bond strength, surface layer tensile modulus and surface layer tensile strength are affected by the different treatment methods.

This paper is focused on possibilities of acoustic emission (AE) signal detection from material surface through waveguide for commonly used piezoelectric sensors. It also considers the experimental study of enhanced detection of occurrence of signal guided through waveguide corpus, its changes and deformities. Aim of this work is verification of several waveguide setup possibilities for maximization of AE signal detection in practice. For this purpose, multiple waveguide setups were manufactured from stainless steel and aluminium alloy. Hsu‑Nielson pen test was utilized for signal actuation. Results demonstrate the differences between measured AE signal with and without employment of waveguide (changes in signal course through different materials and shapes), as well as magnitude of signal dampening and amplification necessary for veritable signal interpretation. Measurements were conducted on agglomerated composite of medium density fibreboard (MDF).
