Monoaxial stretched PP-films are used for the manufacture of hot-compacted layered composites. These are layered with stretched co-extruded coupling agent films, and are consolidated to laminates by means of a hot-compaction process, which employs pressure and temperature. This paper aims to examine the influence of the process settings on the properties of the composites during the hot-compaction process. For this purpose, the mechanical values will be determined by means of tensile testing variously compacted and configured layered film composites.

An engineering approach to estimation of the transverse shear stresses in layered composites is developed. The technique is based on the well-known D. I. Zhuravsky equation for shear stresses in an isotropic beam upon transverse bending. In general, application of this equation to a composite beam is incorrect due to the heterogeneity of the composite structure. According to the proposed method, at the first stage of its implementation, a transition to the equivalent model of a homogeneous beam is made, for which the Zhuravsky formula is valid. The transition is carried out by changing the shape of the cross section of the beam, provided that the bending stiffness and generalized elastic modulus remain the same. The calculated shear stresses in the equivalent beam are then converted to the stress values in the original composite beam from the equilibrium condition. The main equations and definitions of the method as well as the analytical equation for estimation of the transverse shear stress in a composite beam are presented. The method is verified by comparing the analytical solution and the results of the numerical solution of the problem by finite element method (FEM). It is shown that laminate stacking sequence has a significant impact both on the character and on the value of the transverse shear stress distribution. The limits of the applicability of the developed technique attributed to the conditions of the validity of the hypothesis of straight normal are considered. It is noted that under this hypothesis the shear stresses do not depend on the layer shear modulus, which explains the absence of this parameter in the obtained equation. The classical theory of laminate composites is based on the similar assumptions, which gives ground to use this equation for an approximate estimation of the transverse shear stresses in in a layered composite package.

Three and five-layered silicon carbide-based composites containing 0, 5, and 15 wt.% of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were prepared with the aim to obtain a sufficiently high electrical conductivity in the surface layer suitable for electric discharge machining (EDM). The layer sequence in the asymmetric three-layered composites was SiC/SiC-5GNPs/SiC-15GNPs, while in the symmetric five-layered composite, the order of layers was SiC-15GNPs/SiC-5GNPs/SiC/SiC-5GNPs/SiC-15GNPs. The layered samples were prepared by rapid hot-pressing (RHP) applying various pressures, and it was shown that for the preparation of dense 3- or 5-layered SiC/GNPs composites, at least 30 MPa of the applied load was required during sintering. The electrical conductivity of 3-layered and 5-layered composites increased significantly with increasing sintering pressure when measured on the SiC surface layer containing 15 wt.% of GNPs. The increasing GNPs content had a positive influence on the electrical conductivity of individual layers, while their instrumented hardness and elastic modulus decreased. The scratch tests confirmed that the materials consisted of well-defined layers with straight interfaces without any delamination, which suggests good adhesion between the individual layers.

The effect of the addition of maleated polyethylene (MAPE) to compounds of natural rubber (NR) and Teline monspessulana flour (TMF) previously mercerized was investigated. Two factors were analyzed: A. concentration of MAPE with five levels 2; 4; 6; 8; 10 phr (parts per hundred rubber), B. concentration of TMF with two levels 25 and 40 phr. The effect of MAPE on compatibility between NR and HTM was evaluated by tensile testing the compounds. The mixing was performed in a laboratory scale mill. The test tubes were obtained by cutting or die-cutting crosslinked peroxide sheets, these were obtained during the compression molding process. Analysis indicate that the MAPE coupling agent improved the compatibility between HTM and NR, this effect was evidenced by the values of tensile strength and elongation at break. However, the gel content determination indicates that the addition of 10 phr of MAPE crosslinking decreases due to competition with coupling reaction MAPE - HTM.

Different properties (tensile strength, elongation, modulus, impact strength) of rice husk (RH) reinforced polypropylene (PP) coupled by Maleic-Anhydride grafted Polypropylene (MAgPP) have been investigated. MAgPP is an effective coupling agent, not only in cellulosic-fibre filled polyolefine composites, but in rice husk flour filled polypropylene composite systems as well. It gives a utilizable construction polymer matrix composite (PMC) material even at a 40 wt.% RH filling degree. The strength and modulus increases by adding the rice husk but the elongation decreases in a non-monotonic way. Micrographs shows weak coupling in between RH and PP without MAgPP.

Based on using combustion synthesis in high-gravity field to prepare the solidified TiC-TiB2 composites, the layered composites of the ceramic to Ti-6Al-4V at graded composition were achieved by fusion joint and atomic inter-diffusion between liquid TiC-TiB2 and Ti-6Al-4V substrate. The mechanical properties showed that the relative density, micro-hardness and fracture toughness of TiC-TiB2 ceramic layer measured 98.5%, 21.5 GPa and 13.5 ± 2.5 MPa • m0.5, respectively, and the shear strength at joint of TiC-TiB2 to Ti-6Al-4V measured 450 ± 25 MPa. By conducting DOP test to evaluate ballistic performance of the ceramic and layered-composite targets against long-rod KE projectiles at impact velocity of 1.4 km • s-1, it was obtained the mass efficiency 3.28 of the solidified TiC-TiB2 was achieved as the impact point of the projectile was nearby the centre of the target, whereas the mass efficiency 3.18 of the layered composite with the solidified ceramic to Ti-6Al-4V was also achieved even if the impact point of the projectile was at the edge of the target. By combining penetration damage of the targets with the dynamic behavior of the ceramic, it was obtained that the layered composite achieved by the joint of the solidified ceramic to Ti-6Al-4V not only improve ballistic performance of the ceramic, but also weaken the sensitivity of the ceramic target against the impact point of KE projectile by tearing the joint of the ceramic with Ti alloy to restrain formation and propagation of conical crack and fracture cone in the ceramic.

AbstractThe fabrication of aluminum-aluminide layered composites by reactive bonding of elemental Al and Ni foils was investigated. It was observed that after hot-pressing, thin Ni foils were converted to NiAl. The as-processed Al-NiAl layered structure could be heat-treated to produce an equilibrium Al-Al3Ni layered composite. Tensile tests revealed that composites could be produced that failed in a “tough” manner and were stronger and stiffer than aluminum.

This paper addresses the dynamic torsion behaviour of the ship hull with very large open decks. A short overview of the past research is presented, and several key findings and behavioral characteristics are discussed. In the paper, the author is focusing on the dynamic part of a new macroelement model used for torsion dynamic analysis of the ship hull made of composite materials. The numerical analysis (using two methods, one of them being a new proposed method) and experiments are developed on a simplified typical hull of a container ship. The torsion analysis is performed on a scale model of a container ship, made of layered composite plates, and the first 5 natural frequencies are determined. The results obtained with the proposed numerical method (software code TORS, made by the author) are compared with the results obtained with FE analysis and with the experiments done on the physical model.

Results of comparative researches of the initial and processed in a plasma flow oxidic microcomposites, consisting of TiO2, SiO2, Al2O3, ZrO2, and plasma coverings from them – the materials which are characterized by amorphous and crystal structure and strengthened by ultradispersed phases of the stishovit, are presented. It is shown the influence of a type, structure and a way of processing of material (initial powder of different dispersion; the powder obtained in a plasma flow at the different modes and with the normal and accelerated cooling; a plasma layered composite) on the content of silicon oxides, aluminum and titanium, on the type of polymorphic transformations (anatase is found both in powders, and in coverings; the accelerated cooling of spheroids leads to growth of its contents in microcomposites) and also on feature of forming in ceramic materials of a high-bar phase – the stishovit (stishovit it is found only in coverings). It is established that increase in power of the plasma generator leads to increase in extent of amorphicity of plasma-layered composites. In the structure of layered composites three groups of the inclusions, combined by the composition, are revealed: two groups of aluminosilicates and inclusions on the basis of zirconium dioxide. Inclusions of the third group are characterized by two types of structures: homogeneous, consisting of zircon, and plated (with a kernel of dioxide of zirconium and a cover from zircon). The developed layered composites are characterized by high wear resistance, corrosion resistance and antifriction properties. In the conditions of low-temperature plasma at atmospheric pressure the stishovit-containing materials are obtained for the first time.
