The paper presents the laboratory experiments and the results obtained regarding the production and characterization of composite materials with coconut fiber for the manufacture of brake pads for small vehicles and medium performances. The experimental research of composite material with organic components determined the influence of some material factors and parameters of the sintering regime on the physico-mechanical characteristics of the tested samples. Knowledge of these characteristics offers the possibility of pertinent appraisals regarding the behaviour of the composite materials intended for used in brake pads applications. Materials with the best features will be selected to determine the functional characteristics of friction and wear.

This study presents research regarding the calculation of the mechanical characteristics of composite polymeric materials. By using LabVIEW� software a virtual instrument was created used for monitoring in real time the process of cross-linking the composite polymeric materials. The experiments were realized based on composite materials containing epoxy/fiberglass resin of different topologies. By means of the virtual instrument and of a sensor created based on the mechanical impedance analysis, implanted in the composite material, it was determined the G shearing module of the composite material at different temperatures.

The measurement of the complex permittivity of big structure composite material has always been a key and difficulty in the preparation of electromagnetic functional materials. In this paper the average dielectric constant inversion of coconut fiber/gypsum composite in S band is studied based on λ/4 absorption spectrum. First the absorbing effects of the prepared coconut fiber gypsum composite materials are tested with method of flat reflection. Then the equivalent complex permittivity is inversed with the inversion theory. Further the experimental verification is preceded that the theoretical and experimental absorbing curves whose peak positions are respectively at 3.05GHz and 2.45GHz are quite matched. And the study shows that this method is scientific and effective, and it can provide technical support for the baroque electromagnetic functional composite materials.

The paper relates laboratory experiments in order to obtain a composite material used for brake shoe manufacture. Regarding the testing materials were processed 38 samples. The percentage and composition of materials are: 15-45% novolac, 1,5-10% hexametyltetramin, 0-8% sulfur, 0-15% carbon fiber, 0-20% graphite, 0-25% aluminum, 15-28% brass and 0-40% rubber. The evolution of tribological and temperature parameters were analyzed in the contact zone tribological testing disk - split pin method. The composite material has the role to replace the classic material (cast iron) used in brake shoes composition in order to reduce the noise caused by rolling stock.

The Word composite consisting of two or more distinct materials, having two or more distinct phases with different physical properties are noticeable different from the constituent properties. Of all composite materials the fabric type has evoked the most interest among embedded in matrix materials to form laminated composites. These have been used for centuries and today industrial innovation improved energy planning. Uncertain availability and ever increasing cost have created a greater interest in composites. The engineering importance of a composite material is that two or more distinctly different materials with dissimilar characteristics combine together to form a composite that is either superior or important in some other manner to the properties of the individual materials. Most of the composites have been created to improve combinational of mechanical characteristics such stiffness, wear resistance and mechanical properties.

Abstract An experimental study on ultrasonic welding of thermoplastic, which is a prelude to study how the technology can be adapted to join composite materials, was conducted. Three sets of specimen were studied to investigate the influence of energy guide on the bonded specimen. No major statistical difference between the ‘energy guides’ of the tested thermoplastic Celuka™ coupons were noted. Failure of the welded specimen was by shear at the interface. A 75% drop in strength for the bonded material was observed.

In the current work characterization of thermal properties are find out to the prepared specimens of silicon filler hybrid composite materials (silicon filler glass – fiber chop strand). The specimens were prepared by hand layup followed by compression molding machine by non-heating molding technique. Thermal conductivity (K), Coefficient thermal expansion (CTE) and Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) are found by composite slab method and by thermal muffler oven in a laboratory. The guard heater is used to supply heat which is measured by voltmeter and ammeter. Thermocouples are placed between the interface of the copper plates and the specimen of silicon filled hybrid polymer composite material (HPC), to read the temperatures. By the experimental readings it is found that the K of silicon filler hybrid composite material directly proportional to the % of silicon fillers for the different trails. The CTE inversely varies with % of silicon fillers and in thermal gravimetric analysis the failure of material takes place at 300°C for a time of 20 minutes and also reduction in mass of silicon inserted hybrid composite material. From the results it has been concluded that the considerable enhance in thermal conductivity with negligible decrease in CTE and increase in thermal resistivity of hybrid composite materials.

Due to the intensive development of composite materials and technologies for producing parts from them, they are increasingly used in various industries, including the manufacture of products with increased requirements for the characteristics of final products (strength, stiffness, minimum weight, etc.). In this regard, the authors analyzed the possibility to optimize the layered structure of a composite material in order to give it a pronounced predictable anisotropy of properties required for the final product. Thus, the influence of the orientation of the fibers of the reinforcing material in different layers of the package and the number of layers of the package on the physical and mechanical characteristics of the hypothetical product were analyzed. The problem was solved through the example of the development of a wing for a hypothetical UAV.
