Mechanical Characterization of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyester Composites Modified with Silane Treated Alumina NanofibersBy Jitendra S Tate, Harish Kallagunta
Abstract: Alumina nanofibers pristine and vinyl silane treated are used as nanofillers in polyester matrix reinforced with woven glass fibers at loading levels of 0.25 w%, 0.5 wt%, 0.75 wt%, and 1.00 wt% and the static mechanical properties are evaluated. The effect of silane treatment on the mechanical behavior, interface damage behavior for these composites is compared. The tensile strength of composites increased with addition of alumina nanofibers and a consistent …

Damage Mechanisms in Multiwall Carbon Nanotube-based Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites under Ballistic Impact LoadingBy Harishsaiprasad Kallagunta, Jitendra S Tate
Abstract: The incorporation of nanomaterials even in very small amounts has a significant effect on the properties of the fiber reinforced polymer reinforced composites. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are studied mostly due to their potential for higher energy absorption capacity and high hardness. Due to the enormous growth of utilization of composites in aerospace, automotive, marine, and defense industry, impact resistance is a major concern due to their high susceptibility to …

Low-velocity Impact Studies on Glass Reinforced Composites Using Rubber Microparticles and Silica Nanoparticles Modified Epoxy ResinBy Jitendra S Tate, Esmer Trevino, Swapnil Gaikwad, Stephen Sprenger, Isidro Rosas, Matt Andrews
Abstract: Low velocity impact studies are conducted on +/−45º stitched bonded E-glass epoxy composites manufactured using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM). Two sets of composites panels are produced – One using unmodified epoxy resin (control composites) and the other modified epoxy resin containing both rubber microparticles and silica nanoparticles (modified epoxy composites). Modified epoxy resin blend contained 6.5 wt% rubber microparticles and 8.1 wt% of silica nanoparticles. Studies include evaluation …
