Abstract Polyesters used in situations where their chemical resistance is important are grouped into five types for convenience in considering their value under attack by industrial corrosives at varying temperatures. Data were compiled from information supplied by four of the major producers on polyester ducts, hoods and tanks as were 17 illustrations of equipment. Pictured equipment is described, environment indicated and durability reported. Corrodents involved include sulfonated fish oil, acidified oils, HCl containing benzene, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and fumes, plating solutions, sulfuric acid and others at varying temperatures. Some of the characteristics of and reasons for using lined equipment are given. The appendix consists of four tables in which polyesters are rated for service as open hoods and connecting ductwork and for tanks against a wide variety of industrial corrosives, plating solutions pickling and dipping solutions and stripping solutions. Over 5000 ratings are given as excellent, good, fair, poor and not recommended at temperatures of 80 F or less, 212 F or boiling point of solution, if lower: 160 F. 180 F. 6.6.8

The change law for fatigue properties of polyester fiber asphalt concrete was acquired under different asphalt content by three point bending tests. The results indicate that fatigue life of polyester fiber asphalt concrete increases firstly and then declines with asphalt content increasing, which shows an optimum asphalt content,4.8%. The optimal asphalt content of polyester fiber asphalt concrete is bigger than that of common asphalt concrete. The way to improve fatigue performance of asphalt pavement is found through studying on polyester fiber asphalt concrete. All will provide a theoretical basis for structural design of asphalt pavement.

Fiber glass reinforced concrete (FGRC) is used form any structural elements due to its high mechanical properties, particularly flexural strength. As the concrete crack forming process accelerates and the probability of sudden fractures increases. There were various methods to eliminate this weakness of concrete. One of most common methods was employed of randomly distributed fiber. In this paper, two types of isolated footings were utilized, square and rectangular shape reinforced by a fiber glass with a length of 18 mm and having a rate of (0.20, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.50 and 1.00%) of weight, to experimentally investigate the tensile and fatigue properties of footings The results of FGRC were compared with the reinforced steel concrete. The results revealed that FGRC has a positive effect on the tensile and fatigue properties of isolated footing, especially with higher percentage of used fiber glass.

Semi-rigid urethane based fiber composite shafts are fabricated by high pressure injection molding process. The samples are made in Georgia Southern University’s laboratory where compressed air pressure is effectively used for this purpose. A special manufacturing process is suggested which can be used for mass production of these composites. This unique manufacturing technique creates a composite shaft with a core made of matrix material which is completely wrapped around by a woven fiber cloth with a very strong bonding between core and fibers. Three different types of woven fibers: fiber glass, Kevlar 49, and carbon fibers, are used. Triple point bending tests are carried out to test these three different types of composite samples and also samples made of only base or core material. During the test as the applied load is increased, a linear trend is observed between the load and mid-point deflection of the specimens up to a certain level. Higher load causes separation of fibers and core matrix and followed by local buckling of the separated fibers that are under compression region. This phenomenon brings down the bending stiffness of the composite significantly and it is quite pronounced in the load deflection curve diagram. Failure modes are observed to differ for each of these three types of composite and are discussed in details here. Composites with fiber glass wrapping are found to be the strongest among the three. Future work will involve determining the torsional and fatigue properties, and also the effect of fiber orientations on the mechanical properties of these composites.
