| Abstract Scope |
The 3-point bend test, performed in accordance with ASTM-D790, establishes a test procedure to determine the bending properties of high strength fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites. To obtain stress versus strain curves and determine the flexural strength and modulus of elasticity, six specimens of each proposed configuration were tested.Results showed that the lower the number of layers of linen fabric and the higher the number of aramid fabric, the lower the tension. This can be explained by the reduced interface available for delamination and deformability, in addition to the added advantage of the fibrous structure. Linen is a fabric in which there are voids and discontinuities through which the polymer can penetrate and, therefore, have better wettability, this is related to the random distribution of the fibers, resulting in a continuous material, reducing delamination. All this may explain the increase in flexural strength with the number of linen layers. |
