Numerical and experimental studies of damage generation in a polymer composite material at high strain rates
(Elsevier, 2006-09)
Samples of S2-glass/epoxy composites have been subjected to microstructural investigation after testing in compression at quasi-static and high strain rates using the split Hopkinson pressure bar. A numerical model was ...
Influence of surface modification of fillers and polymer on flammability and tensile behaviour of polypropylene-composites
(Elsevier, 2006-05)
An intumescent system consisting of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) as an acid source and blowing agent, pentaerythritol (PER) as a carbonific agent and natural zeolite (clinoptilolite, Gördes II) as a synergistic agent was ...
Stress wave propagation effects in two- and three-layered composite materials
(SAGE Publications, 2004)
Multilayer materials consisting of ceramic and glass/epoxy composites have been subjected to high strain rate compression testing using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. The samples were extensively strain gaged so that ...
Developing polymer composite-based leaf spring systems for automotive industry
(Walter De Gruyter, 2018-01)
Composite-based mono-leaf spring systems were designed and manufactured to replace existing mono-leaf metal leaf spring in a light commercial vehicle. In this study, experimentally obtained mechanical properties of different ...
Specimen size effect on the residual properties of engineered cementitious composites subjected to high temperatures
(Elsevier Limited, 2014)
In this study, size effect on the residual properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) was investigated on the specimens exposed to high temperatures up to 800 C. Cylindrical specimens having different sizes ...
Improving the workability and rheological properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites using factorial experimental design
(Elsevier, 2013-02)
In the development of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC), micromechanics-based design theory is adopted to properly select the matrix constituents, fiber, and fiber-matrix interface properties to exhibit strain ...
High-early-strength ductile cementitious composites with characteristics of low early-age shrinkage for repair of infrastructures
(Springer, 2015-05)
Reduced performance in concrete infrastructures is mainly caused by the formation of cracks, which may arise due to deteriorating mechanisms during service life. In most cases, reduced performance calls for urgent repairs ...
Use of spent foundry sand and fly ash for the development of green self-consolidating concrete
(Springer, 2011-08)
In the United States alone, the foundry industry discards up to 10 million tons of sand each year, offering up a plentiful potential resource to replace sand in concrete products. However, because the use of spent foundry ...
Improvement of barrier and mechanical properties of whey protein isolate based food packaging films by incorporation of zein nanoparticles as a novel bionanocomposite
(Elsevier, 2016-03-01)
In this study, whey protein isolate (WPI) based bio-nanocomposite films embedded with zein nanoparticles (ZNP) were prepared by solution casting. Nanoparticles were coated with sodium caseinate to obtain a uniform distribution ...
Effect of corn-zein coating on the mechanical properties of polypropylene packaging films
(Wiley, 2011-01-05)
In this study, a novel film structure of corn zein coated on polypropylene (PP) synthetic films for food packaging applications was developed, and the mechanical properties of the resulting coated film, as affected by the ...
