To evaluate the effects of fibre prestressing, EPPMC samples under various fibre prestressing levels were produced, including 0 MPa, 12 MPa, 24 MPa, 48 MPa, 90 MPa, 135 MPa, 180 MPa, and 220 MPa. To benefit from elastic fibre prestressing, the carbon prepregs need to be prestressed within the elastic region. The tension is applied to the tendons (located in a duct) after hardening of the concrete. https://doi.org/10.3390/polym15020431, Subscribe to receive issue release notifications and newsletters from MDPI journals, You can make submissions to other journals. deviate at the anchorage are often subjected to this stress.

Limited Prestressing The useful life of the mechanical finishing device is prolonged. ; Schenk, M. Thermal Prestress in Composite Compliant Shell Mechanisms. A prestressing device for a mechanical finishing device having multiple components including a base, a moving base, a work table, a column and a tool-head stand, the prestressing device comprising: multiple rigid prestressing units adapted to be mounted in the mechanical finishing device to provide prestressing tension to the mechanical finishing device; and. To evaluate the effects of prestress level on viscoelastic performance of composites, tensile creep testing was also carried out on prestressed samples at different temperatures, which include 25 C, 50 C, 75 C, 100 C, 125 C. percent. Sorry, preview is currently unavailable. Ph.D. Thesis, Cranfield University, Cranfield, UK, 2004. The main features of the system are as follows: (1)the prestressing forces are applied manually without using hydraulic jacks, (2)the prestressing level of the CFRP sheets can be controlled by using an electronic load cell, (3)the system is light weight and can be installed without using heavy lifting equipment, (4)the CFRP sheets are extended to the ends of the member where high shear stresses occur, and (5)releasing of the prestressing CFRP sheets is accomplished under a slow strain rate.

The prestressing device has at least one rigid prestressing unit mounted in the mechanical component to provide a prestressing tension to the mechanical component. without breaking or cracking. 5 is a perspective view of a tool-head stand of a mechanical finishing device with a prestressing device in accordance with the present invention; and. No.03CH37417), Electrical tree growth has been investigated in free-from fibre and mechanically pre-stressed fibre-reinforced Araldite 5052 epoxy resin samples as a function of material age (defined as the time, 2003 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena, In recent years, the accumulated research evidence in our group has demonstrated that the addition of mechanically prestressed fibers in epoxy resin will strengthen the microstructure and therefore, Electrical Insulation Breakdown and Its Theory, Process, and Prevention, Silicone rubber (SiR) is widely used as the main insulating material in cable accessories and faces high temperature challenges during operation. Mechanical properties of a unidirectional carbon prepreg before and after curing. Motahhari, S.; Cameron, J. Fibre Prestressed Composites: Improvement of Flexural Properties through Fibre Prestressing. The stricture, expressed as a percentage, is defined as: where Ai and Au, are, respectively, the straight, initial and failure sections. An experimental program was conducted to check the validity and efficiency of the prestressing system by testing three reinforced concrete beams. 2 is a perspective view of a moving base of a mechanical finishing device with a prestressing device in accordance with the present invention; FIG. Please let us know what you think of our products and services. adjacent to the one which is subject to the relaxation test. 32,3, 32,4 and 32,5, as applicable. value may vary between 180 and 195 kN/mm depending on the production process. It is found that fibre prestressing is effective in destroying the defective fibres before being cured into a matrix, which in turn improves the mechanical strength of the polymeric composite. Whenever requested, the producer shall also provide a copy of the results of the Because all the EPPMC samples are fabricated using the same procedure, the thermal residual stresses generated should be at the same level, i.e., they should have the same effects on the flexure modulus. Wang, B.; Fancey, K.S. wherein the rigid prestressing units comprise: two first longitudinal prestressing units and three first lateral prestressing units adapted to be applied to the base of the mechanical finishing device, wherein each first longitudinal prestressing unit is adapted to be mounted in one of the sides of the base between two ends of the base and each first lateral prestressing unit is adapted to be mounted between two sides of the base; two second longitudinal prestressing units adapted to be applied to the moving base of the mechanical finishing device, wherein each second longitudinal prestressing unit is adapted to be mounted in one of the sides of the moving base between two ends of the moving base; three third longitudinal prestressing units adapted to be applied to the work table of the mechanical finishing device, wherein each third longitudinal prestressing unit is adapted to be mounted between two ends of the work table; two fourth prestressing units adapted to be applied to the column of the mechanical finishing device, wherein each fourth prestressing unit is adapted to be mounted cross a top and a bottom of the column; and. The experimental program includes a tensile test, a fatigue test, a relaxation test, and a stress corrosion test. Bonded tendon: When there is adequate bond between the prestressing tendon and concrete, it is called a bonded tendon.
