1. 1. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND TESTING OF A HYBRID COMPOSITE MATERIAL

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

   Author : ARJUN ANIL; JEEVAN JOSEPH; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : A composite is a structural material that consists of two or more combined constituents at amacroscopic level and are not soluble in each other. One constituent is called the reinforcingphase and the other in which it is embedded is called the matrix. The reinforcing phasematerial may be in the form of fibres, particles, or flakes to name a few. READ MORE

3. 2. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE OF ALTERNATE FIBRES FOR SHOTCRETE IN TUNNELS

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Shilpa Anand; [2022]
   Keywords : Shotcrete; Life cycle assessment; Environmental Product Declaration; Global warming potential; steel; basalt and synthetic fibres; flexural strength; energy absorption.;

   Abstract : Tunnels in hard and jointed rock are normally excavated in an arch shape to enable the rock mass to support its weight. Since the beginning of the 1980's, fibre reinforced shotcrete (FRS) in combination with rock bolts have been the dominating support method for hard rock tunnels. READ MORE

4. 3. Recycling methods for glass fibre-reinforced plastic polymers : Glass fibre composites in a circular economy?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

   Author : Hanna Karlsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Composites; Glass; Fibre; Reinforced; Recycling; Circular economy; Circularity; Reinforcement; Plastic; Polymer; End-of-life; Reuse; Waste; Materials Chemistry; Chemistry;

   Abstract : The reinforced composite industry is expanding. This raises the need for more sustainable resource use and waste management. A concept to combat both is circularity, creating a loop between the raw resources and the waste. Two important parts of circularity are recycling and reusing. READ MORE

5. 4. Embedding Carbon Nanotubes Sensors into Carbon Fiber Laminates

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Riccardo Andolfi; [2022]
   Keywords : Multifunctional Materials; Sensing Abilities; Carbon Nanotubes; Carbon Fibers; Analytical Modelling; Finite Element Modelling; Multifunktionella Material; Avkänningsförmåga; Kolnanorör; Kolfibrer; Analytisk Modellering; Finita Elementmodellering;

   Abstract : The use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite materials in structural applications has increased in the past decades in high­performance sectors, such as in the automotive and aeronautic industries, for weight reduction purposes. However, FRP composite materials can offer more significant innovation potential. READ MORE

6. 5. Development of protecting coatings for composites in an aero-engine

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Julien Mertz; [2021]
   Keywords : composites; coatings; aerospace; aero-engine; lightning strike; fire; erosion;

   Abstract : Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials exhibit high specificstrength and stiffness therefore they can be a lightweight alternative to metalliccomponents for the front section of an aero-engine. Despite the benefit of CFRP composite materials for aero-engine applications, there arealso new challenges due to their inherent properties compared to conventionalaerospace metallic structures, such as a lower erosion resistance, poor thermalresistance, and poor electrical conductivity.
