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. 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

4. 3. Performance of reinforced concrete bridges strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers : Case study: Essinge Bridge over Pampaslänken

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad; KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Zeinab Mirzahassanagha; Eva Malo; [2021]
   Keywords : CFRP; External Strengthening Method; RC Bridges; Curved Substrate; Finite Element Modelling; Kolfiberväv; Extern Förstärkningsmetod; Betongarmerade broar; Konkav yta; Finita Elementa Modellering;

   Abstract : This master thesis deals with the performance of existing reinforced concrete bridges strengthened with externally bonded carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP). One of the main aims of this work is to understand the functionality of such an external strengthening method applied to a concave surface in a heavy concrete structure such as a bridge. READ MORE

5. 4. Effect of Induction-Heat Post-Curing on Residual Stresses in Fast-Curing Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composites

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Mercedes Amelia Bettelli; [2020]
   Keywords : Carbon Fibres Reinforced Polymer Composite; epoxy resins; cure behaviour; residual stress and shape distortions;

   Abstract : Manufacturing induced shape distortions is a common problem for composite materials. Due to the non-isotropic nature of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) unavoidable deformations occur during part production. During fabrication of polymer composites, the material obtains its final shape at elevated temperatures. READ MORE

6. 5. Simulation and Modelling of Injection Molded Components : Fiber Reinforced Polymers in Powertrain Mounts

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

   Author : Hanna Jakobsson; [2020]
   Keywords : Material modelling; polymer composites; FRP; orthotropic; powertrain mount; vehicle engineering; Digimat; Material modellering; polymera kompositer; ortotropisk; motorupphängnig; Digimat;

   Abstract : Powertrain mounts' purpose is to mount the engine and the gearbox in the car. Besides that, it isolate the body from the powertrain movements and road excitation. The most common material in powertrain mounts bracket is aluminum but lately, fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) has been acting as a substitute for the aluminum. READ MORE
