1. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND TESTING OF A HYBRID COMPOSITE MATERIAL
University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetAbstract : 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

2. Recycling methods for glass fibre-reinforced plastic polymers : Glass fibre composites in a circular economy?
University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntesAbstract : 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

3. Fatigue Testing of a Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer : Investigation of damage development using Digital Image Correlation
University essay from KTH/LättkonstruktionerAbstract : Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) is a material with high specific propertiesand good fatigue and vibration dampening characteristics, and can potentiallybe used instead of steel and aluminium in heavy duty vehicles. This work focuseson testing methodology and the fatigue properties of a unidirectional (UD)material in the 0° and 90°orientation, reproducing and validating the method developedby Wanner[1].

5. Fatigue Injection Moulded Short Fibre Reinforced Polymers
University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Inst.)Abstract : In order to keep up with the increasing demand of fuel-efficiency in the transportationindustry, the interest of making the vehicles as lightweight as possible is steadilyincreasing. One of the ways of reducing the weight is to introduce an anisotropicmaterial as Short Fibre Reinforced Polymers (SFRP) as a replacement for structuralparts made out of metals. READ MORE
