Deriving Tensile Properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRP) Using Mechanics of Composite Materials

This work addresses the tensile properties of glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) and investigates the different ways of estimating them without the cost associated with experimentation. This attempt is achieved through comparison between experimental results, derived in accordance with the ASTM standards, and results obtained using the mechanics of composite materials. The experimental results are also compared to results derived from work by other researchers in order to corroborate the findings regarding the correlation of tensile properties of the GFRP material and the fiber volume fraction.

Preparation and Mechanical Properties of UV⁃Assisted Filament Winding Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer⁃Matrix Composite

This paper studied the preparation and mechanical properties of glass fiber reinforced polymer-matrix composite rings prepared by filament winding assisted by ultraviolet(UV)curing.A ray-tracing method was used to calculate the penetration ability of UV light in the resin casting,and then a typical composite ring with dual⁃curing characteristics was prepared by UV-assisted curing.The effects of winding speed and thermal initiator concentration on the distribution of fiber fraction and mechanical properties were studied.Microscopic morphology was used for the observation of the differences in fiber volume fraction.Mechanical properties tests and scanning electron micrographs were performed to investigate the failure and damage mechanisms of the composite ring samples.The ray tracing results indicate that the UV light can pass through a single yarn thickness and the energy transmitted is sufficient to cure the back side quickly.The experimental results show that the mechanical properties of the composite ring prepared in this paper are comparable to those of the heat-cured samples,which is sufficient to meet the requirements of the flywheel.

Static and Fatigue Behavior of Hybrid Bonded/Bolted Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Joints Under Tensile Loading

This paper presents the static and fatigue tests of hybrid(bonded/bolted)glass fiber reinforced polymer(GFRP)joints.Nine specimens of single-lap hybrid GFRP joints have been fabricated to study the static and fatigue behaviors in the experimental campaign.The static tests of uniaxial tension loading are first conducted,from which the static ultimate bearing capacities of the joints are obtained.High-cycle fatigue tests are subsequently carried out so that the fatigue failure mode,fatigue life,and stiffness degradation of joints can be obtained.The measuring techniques including acoustic emission monitoring and three-dimensional digital image correlation have been employed in the tests to record the damage development process.The results revealed that the static strength and fatigue behavior of such thick hybrid GFRP joints were controlled by the bolted connections.The four stages of fatigue failure process are obtained from tests and acoustic emission signals analysis:cumulative damage of adhesive layer,damage of the adhesive layer,cumulative damage of GFRP plate,and damage of GFRP plate.The fatigue life and stiffness degradation can be improved by more bolts.The S-N(fatigue stress versus life)curves for the fatigue design of the single-lap hybrid GFRP joints under uniaxial tension loading are also proposed.

Bond Mechanical Properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Anti-Floating Anchor in Concrete Baseplate

Combined with fiber Bragg grating(FBG)sensing technology,four glass fiber reinforced polymer(GFRP)anti-floating anchors and four steel anti-floating anchors were tested for on-site destructive failure to investigate the anchoring performance and the bonding characteristics between GFRP anti-floating anchor and concrete floor.The test results show that bending GFRP anchor will be broken at the common boundary between vertical anchorage section and bending section during the pullout process,and the spring-back load provided by the rupture contributes to a decrease of bearing capacity and an inflection point on the load-slip curve.The loaddisplacement curve of the straight anchor GFRP anti-floating anchor is smoother and has better predictability than the same type of steel anchor.Additionally,different forms of GFRP anti-floating bolt have different bondslip constitutive relations.By introducing the sliding-slip correction factor of bending bolt,constitutive models describing the rising-section of sliding-slip relation of bending and straight-anchored GFRP anti-floating bolt are established respectively.The model can fit the test results rightly.

双腹板工字型GFRP腰梁机械连接力学性能试验研究

为深入研究双腹板工字型玻璃纤维增强复合材料(glass fiber reinforced polymer,GFRP)腰梁机械连接节点的力学性能,基于无连接和有机械连接2种类型GFRP腰梁的静载试验,分析双腹板工字型GFRP腰梁在三分点对称加荷下的受力特征,明确2种类型腰梁的极限状态和破坏形式。结果表明:GFRP腰梁采用双腹板工字型截面型式,截面的最大应力为183 MPa,是GFRP腰梁纵向抗拉强度的62%,纵向抗压强度的73%(容许压缩承载力的205%),可以使GFRP材料强度得到充分发挥,腰梁稳定性能良好;GFRP腰梁容易出现局部破坏,首先在翼缘板处发生局部失稳,随即引起腹板产生屈曲破坏,翼缘和腹板连接处出现面层剥离和鼓起,腰梁连接处增设的缀板和螺栓可有效地抑制该局部破坏变形;采用螺栓机械连接并在连接处增设同材质缀板,可降低螺栓钻孔对梁体本身截面的削弱作用,使GFRP腰梁的刚度和极限承载能力分别提高17.9%和44.9%,是GFRP腰梁的合理连接方式。研究成果可为GFRP腰梁的推广应用提供参考和借鉴。

由于玻璃纤维增强复合材料(GFRP)组分材料中的树脂属于高分子材料,桥梁工程界对GFRP结构的徐变性能十分担忧,阻碍了其推广应用。该文聚焦于桥梁工程E型玻璃纤维增强复合材料(E-GFRP)单向板,基于双尺度均匀化数值模拟方法,从纤维和树脂的徐变性能评估了E-GFRP单向板的徐变性能,并与试验结果进行比较验证了预测结果的准确性。在此基础上,分析了应力水平、纤维体积率及持荷形式对E-GFRP单层板徐变性能的影响,结果表明,应力水平越高、纤维体积率越小,单层板的徐变粘滞应变越大。在此基础上,提出了不同纤维体积率下E-GFRP单层板粘滞应变模型,准确表述了应力水平、持荷时间和徐变应变之间的关系。最后,提出了E-GFRP单层板徐变断裂时间预测公式,可为E-GFRP结构的长期性能预测提供参考。

This paper presents the results of a test program for flexure reinforcing characteristics of gless fiber-rein forced polymer（GFRP） sheets bonded to masonry beams. A total of eight specimens subjected to monotonic four-point bending were tested up to failure. These specimens were constructed with two different bond patterns. Six of these specimens were reinforced by using GFRP sheets prior to testing, and the remaining two were not reinforced. The test results indicate a significant increase in both load-bearing capacity and ductile performance of the reinforced walls over the unreinforced ones.

Mechanical behavior of concrete filled glass fiber reinforced polymer-steel tube under cyclic loading

The mechanical behavior of concrete-filled glass fiber reinforced polymer(GFRP)-steel tube structures under combined seismic loading is investigated in this study. Four same-sized specimens with different GFRP layout modes were tested by a quasi-static test system. Finite element analysis(FEA) was also undertaken and the results were presented. Results of the numerical simulation compared well with those from experimental tests. Parametric analysis was conducted by using the FE models to evaluate the effects of GFRP thickness, axial compression rate, and cross sectional steel ratio. The experimental and numerical results show that the technique of GFRP strengthening is effective in improving the seismic performance of traditional concrete-filled steel tubes, with variations related to different GFRP layout modes.

Experimental Study of the Shear Capacity of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Reinforced Concrete Beam with Circular Cross Section

In order to research the shear behavior of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete beam with circular cross section, based on the test results of 36 concrete beams subjected to four-point loading up to failure, the shear capacity and mechanical properties of deformation were analyzed comparatively between GFRP reinforced concrete (GFRP-RC) beams and steel reinforced concrete (steel-RC) beams. Furthermore, influencing factors of shear capacity of GFRP-RC beam with circular cross section were also investigated. The test results indicate that the failure modes of GFRP-RC and steel-RC beams are the same, but the crack patterns are slightly different. And, the shear capacity of GFRP-RC beam firstly increases with the reduction of shear span ratio, and then decreases. In addition, it was found that the influencing coefficient of GFRP on concrete increases with shear span ratio reducing.
