NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF EFFECTS OF SPECIMEN PREPARATION METHOD ON PROPERTIES OF FIBER COMPOSITES


Abstract eng:
The correct determination of mechanical properties of construction materials has a major impact on the design and reliability of structures. Strength and deformation characteristics are evaluated based on data from experiments. The determined parameters can be largely affected also by fabrication of experimental specimens. Either by nature of production, storage conditions before experiment itself, or by testing set-up (equipment, boundary conditions, etc.). This article deals with influence of specimen preparation method on the strength of reinforcement in fiber composites. To clarify this phenomenon we performed numerical calculation based on randomly generated fibers.
