Compressive Strength of SCC Increased by Use of HD-Glass Fiber and Glass Fiber
Abstract: Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a concrete that has been specifically designed for use in situations where access from below is impossible. It is able to flow when the weight of its own body is applied. When encountering extensive reinforcement and intricate structural designs, it may be utilised. Segregation and bleeding issues are ignored, and compaction does not require vibration. Concrete has a strong compression strength and a weak tension strength. …

Optimization of Consolidation Temperature and Time for Self Reinforced High-density Polyethylene Composite
Abstract: Demand for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for industrial production of domestic and commercial commodities has made it necessary to find ways of improving its mechanical properties. A viable approach towards this is the addition of reinforcements such as glass fibers. However, glass fiber reinforced composites suffer limitations because of reduced recyclability, great weight and difficult to thermo-form. In order to improve properties such as specific strength, stiffness and thermoformability of the …

Mechanical and Thermal Performance of PETG Composites Reinforced with Short Carbon Fibers via Fused Filament Fabrication
Abstract: The study investigates the fabrication and characterization of polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) composites reinforced with short carbon fibers (CF) using the fused filament fabrication (FFF) technique. Composite filaments with varying CF weight fractions (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%) were produced and evaluated for their mechanical, thermal, and morphological performance. The influence of CF reinforcement on tensile, flexural, and impact behavior was systematically examined, alongside thermal stability metrics including …
