Stress Damage

ABSTRACTA modified fatigue test matrix that provided both creep (high mean stress) and fatigue (alternating stress) damage was used to evaluate the creep-fatigue behavior of D.S. Ni3 Al(B,Hf). The three generic regimes of below, at, and above peak yield strength temperature were investigated. It was found that the creep-fatigue resistance of this intermetallic remains high through the three temperature regimes, allowing it to be further considered as a monolith or as the matrix of high-temperature fiber reinforced composite.

Dispersion And Attenuation

A novel experimental technique for studying the characteristics of the interface between the fibers and the matrix in both undamaged and damaged fiber-reinforced composite materials is described. The experimental technique involves the transmission of stress waves in one or more fibers of the composite. The characteristics of the stress waves, such as speed, dispersion, and attenuation, are measured. These measured variables can be correlated with the characteristics of the bonding between the fiber and the matrix.

Strength And Ductility

ABSTRACTThe study of organic-inorganic nanocomposites has become relevant in recent years since these materials exhibit synergistic properties derived from the two components. Thermosetting polymers like epoxies that have high mechanical properties provide a baseline for further improvement with the addition of nanoclay particles. These nanocomposites can be used as the matrix of a fiber reinforced composite and lead to higher matrix dominated mechanical properties including elastic modulus, strength and fracture toughness. This study concentrates on the mechanical and thermoviscoelastic properties in the glassy regime of nanocomposites prepared by direct mixing. The elastic modulus of the nanocomposites was found to improve with respect to the pure epoxy modulus at the expense of both tensile strength and ductility regardless of clay content. The glass transition temperature was also found to decrease as well. The morphology of the nanocomposites was studied and correlated with the aforementioned properties.

The Matrix

Abstract Carbon fiber reinforced composite materials offer greater rigidity and strength than any other composites, but are much more expensive than e.g. glass fiber reinforced composite materials. Continuous fibers in polyester give the best properties. The fibers carry mechanical loads, the matrix transfers the loads to the fibers, is ductile and tough, protect the fibers from handling and environmental damage. The working temperature and the processing conditions of the composite depend on the matrix material. Polyesters are the most commonly used matrices because they offer good properties at relatively low cost. The strength of the composite increases along with the fiber-matrix ratio and the fiber orientation parallel to the load direction. The longer the fibers, the more effective the load transfer is. Increasing the thickness of the laminate leads to a reduction in the strength of the composite and the modulus of strength, since the likelihood of the presence of defects increases. The aim of this research is to analyze the change in the mechanical properties of the polymer composite. The polymer composite consists of carbon fibers and epoxy resin. The change in compressive strength in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the fiber orientation was evaluated. At the same time, the influence of the wet environment on the change of mechanical properties of the composite was evaluated.

Reinforcement Fiber

The mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composite materials are highly dependent on proper saturation of the resin within the reinforcement fibers. The research evaluates the effect of ultrasonic treatment during composite curing, in an effort to increase interlaminar bonding strength, lower void content, and improve the matrices ability to transfer stresses to the reinforcement fiber. The testing methods that were performed evaluated the effects or the ultrasonic treatment on the specimen in three point bending, and shear between layers of the matrix. The mechanical properties and the microstructure of the test specimen are discussed.
