Fiber volume ratio
Fiber volume ratio is an important mathematical element in composite engineering. Fiber volume ratio, or fiber volume fraction, is the percentage of fiber volume in the entire volume of a fiber-reinforced composite material. When manufacturing polymer composites, fibers…
Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Plain concrete possess a very low tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking, Internal micro - cracks are inherently present in the concrete and its poor tensile strength is due…
Reinforcements
Many materials are capable of reinforcing polymers. Some materials, such as the cellulose in wood, are naturally occurring products. Most commercial reinforcements, however, are man-made. There are many commercially available…
Types of composite materials
Composite materials are formed by two or more components so that the properties of the final material are better than the properties of the components separately. This kind of materials…
