The electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube–epoxy composites is investigated analytically and experimentally. theoretical predictions the effective were performed by analytical approach based on a micromechanical model composites. parametric analysis carried out revealed an influence geometrical parameters nanocomposite. nanocomposites made from DGEBA-based RTM6 epoxy resins filled with different weight content Baytubes C150P N7000 multi-walled nanotubes prepared. experimental values...
Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (carbon-polymer) is an advanced lightweight composite material with high strength and excellent resistance to corrosion fatigue. Over the past decades, application of polymers has been spread from aerospace other branches industry such as automobile civil engineering. Unidirectional carbon-polymers have a potential for replacing steel in tensile members. Recently, first carbonpolymer stress-ribbon bridge constructed Germany. The non-laminated strip-loop...
The paper presents numerical results of direct pull-out test glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars embedded in concrete. Rebars three different cross-sections are considered: circular without longitudinal ribs and with two four ribs. design analyses the rebar configurations concrete investigated by 3D finite element method (FEM), which takes into account non-linearity using ANSYS software. model were compared experimental results. Then, effect geometries to load-slip curves was...
This research aimed to realize experimentally the facilevascular self-healing system in epoxy glass fibre reinforced composite. Using flexiblepolytetrafluoroethylene tubes as removable preforms, channels were embeddedinto both neat resin and unidirectional glass-fibre laminate.Room temperature curable with a surfactant an amine-basedhardener components of binary healing agent. The specimens oftapered double cantilever beam geometry subjected Mode I fracture tests.Fracture released agent from...
In the present study 2-D numerical analysis of strip-type laminated composite specimens with and without damage is considered investigation carried out by using a finite element method. The surface oblique resistances are numerically calculated according to two-probe four-probe methods. electrical conductivity laminate in longitudinal direction constant, while through-thickness used as variable parametric study. resistance change due delamination for each case estimated comparing obtained...
In the present study, 2-D numerical analyses of strip-type specimens laminated composites with and without damage are considered investigation is carried out by using finite element program ANSYS. Electrical conductivity composite laminate in longitudinal direction given constant, while electrical throughthickness used as a variable parametric study. The resistance changes for each case due to delamination estimated comparing obtained corresponding value specimen delamination. surface...
