In this paper, the usefulness of industrial waste metal fiber as a reinforcement in hybrid glass/metal fiber epoxy composites is investigated. The hybrid composites of four-stacking sequence HSG-1, HSG-2, HSG-3, and HSG-4 were fabricated using the vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) technique under a controlled environment. Mode-I fractu...

Lightweight materials are being employed in aeronautical and automobile industries for high strength, lower weight, and energy consumption. Attention is needed to control pollution through the usage of harmful synthetic composites globally. In this work, coconut shell nanofillers are reinforced in the development of various palm fiber (leaf stalk, ...

Owing to their specific advantages like thermal insulation, being lightweight and strong, laminated composites were designed by using natural fiber (female or male palm fiber) between two layers of glass stitched [0°/90°] to improve the impact properties of glass/epoxy composite. Natural fiber is cheap and plentiful in Iraq. The composite material ...

Impact is defined as an instantaneous external force applied to a material or structure at low, medium, and high speeds over a very short period of time. In this study, we investigate the impact behavior of glass-epoxy composite (GFRP), carbon-epoxy composite (CFRP), and glass/carbon-epoxy hybrid composite (GCFRP) samples subjected to low-velocity ...

The design and development of high-strength and low-weight composite landing gear struts is still a challenge in today’s world. In this study, a selection methodology for fiber-reinforced composite material for retractable main landing gear struts for specified lightweight aircraft up to 1600 kg mass is proposed. Four different fiber-reinforced com...

Polymer concrete is a composite material used to replace cast iron and steel in wafer grinding machines for vibration damping. During the grinding and lapping processes of manufacturing silicon wafers, excessive vibrations may cause subsurface damage which requires additional polishing and reduces yield. Nine compositions containing various levels ...

The inter-fiber failure of glass fiber-reinforced epoxy specimens with four different fiber angles was analyzed. Flat specimens were subjected to static and fatigue loading considering different load levels and load ratios. Damage investigation in terms of crack density measurement was performed by transmitted white light imaging using a digital ca...

This attempt aims at assessing heat generation in thermal conductive polymer (TCP) composites widely used in aerospace sectors. Temperature histories were investigated in both nonreinforced and glass-fiber-reinforced TCPs during abrasive milling. Glass/epoxy and glass/polyester composites with 30% unidirectional glass fiber content were prepared ac...

The glass fiber reinforced resin matrix composite I-beams were designed and formed via a type of novel bending pultrusion processing technique, and the three-point bending tests were carried out to analyze the mechanical bending performances. The obtained results show that the main failure mode of the composite I-beam under the bending load is the ...
