Abstract:
Sandwich composites and syntactic foams independently have been used in many engineering applications. However, there has been minimal effort towards taking advantage of the weight saving ability of syntactic foams in the cores of sandwich composites, especially with respect to the impact response of structures. To that end, the goal of this study is to investigate the mechanical response and damage mechanisms associated with syntactic foam core sandwich composites subjected to dynamic impact loading. In particular, this study investigates the influence of varying cenosphere volume fraction in syntactic foam core sandwich composites subjected to varying dynamic impact loading and further elucidates the extent and diversity of corresponding damage mechanisms. The syntactic foam cores are first fabricated using epoxy resin as the matrix and cenospheres as the reinforcement with four cenosphere volume fractions of 0% (pure epoxy), 20%, 40%, and 60%. The sandwich composite panels are then manufactured using the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process with carbon fiber/vinyl ester facesheets. Dynamic impact tests are performed on the sandwich composite specimens at two energy levels of 80 J and 160 J, upon which the data are post-processed to gain a quantitative understanding of the impact response and damage mechanisms incurred by the specimens. A qualitative understanding is obtained through micro-computed tomography scanning of the impacted specimens. In addition, a finite element model is developed to investigate the causes for different damage mechanisms observed in specimens with different volume fractions.

Abstract:
A new class of structural core material has been developed at the University of Southern Queensland for applications of composite materials in civil and structural engineering. These materials combine polymer resins with hollow ceramic microspheres to produce core materials with high structural capacity at low cost. A number of prototype structural elements using these materials have displayed significant potential for application in civil engineering structures. An ongoing research programme has been initiated to improve fundamental understanding of these materials and to provide the knowledge required for broad utilization. This current study has investigated the behaviour of core material formulations based on vinyl ester resins and hollow ceramic cenospheres. Investigations have focused on identifying key relationships between the constituent materials and resulting mechanical properties of the core material. A variety of matrix and filler characteristics have been examined. This work has shown that, at the type of filler levels considered feasible for structural engineering applications (vf > 30 per cent), the behaviour of the material is largely determined by the filler particles, with only minimal influence from the matrix material. Further investigations are continuing to quantify these effects and to develop predictive models for key relationships.

Abstract:
[Abstract]: With the increasing use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in civil engineering structures, there is a growing realisation of the need to develop newstructural systems which can utilise the unique characteristics of these materials in a more efficient and economical manner. In many instances this will require thedevelopment of new materials tailored to address the unique performance and economic parameters of mainstream construction. Over recent years, researchers at the University of Southern Queensland have pioneeredthe use of a new type of particulate filled polymer core material which greatly improves the robustness and cost effectiveness of FRP structural systems. These compositematerials are composed of small hollow spherical fillers (microspheres) in a thermosetting polymer matrix. Initial research into these materials, including theirfeasibility in prototype structural elements, have shown these materials to have major potential for widespread application in structural composite systems.One of the most promising classes of these materials investigated to date are vinyl ester / cenosphere composites, which utilise cenospheres derived from fly ash in a vinyl ester matrix. Previously reported studies into these materials have been restricted to initialsurveys of material behaviour which sought to identify key parameters in achieving desired performance outcomes in the composite. This dissertation presents the first in-depth investigation of these materials specifically as a core material option for civil infrastructure applications. The particular focus of this work is on the relationship of the vinyl ester matrix to the characteristics of the resultingcomposite. Several key matrix parameters were identified and assessed as to their influence on cure characteristics, fabrication operations, mechanical properties and theretention of such properties under elevated service temperatures. The outcomes of this work have significantly improved the understanding of matrix influences on the behaviour of these composite systems and have been drawn together to provide a number of recommendations on the application of this new technology to new structural systems.

Abstract:
Natural fibre reinforced composites have been extensively used in non-structural components, mainly in automotive industry. For these composites to be used in structural applications, an understanding of fracture toughness behaviour is important. In this study, the influence of water absorption and hybridisation of flax and flax/basalt hybrid laminates are presented with the aim to investigating the Mode I and Mode II interlaminar fracture toughness characteristics. Four types of composite laminates namely, neat vinyl ester (neat VE), flax fibre reinforced vinyl ester (FVE), flax fibre hybridised basalt unstitched (FBVEu) and flax hybridised basalt stitched (FBVEs), were fabricated by vacuum assisted resin infusion technique. Double cantilever beam (DCB) and Three-point-end-notched flexure (3ENF) tests were performed to evaluate the critical strain energy release rates, GIC and GIIC (initiation and propagation) as well as the crack length (R-curve) in dry and wet conditions by using different data reduction methods. The morphology of delamination and the fracture shear failure of composite laminates were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray micro computed tomography (μCT). From the experimental results, it was found that the Mode I fracture toughness initiation GIIC init. and propagation GIIC prop. of water immersed FVE composites were decreased by an average of 27% and 10% respectively, compared to the dry specimens, whereas the fracture toughness propagation of water immersed FBVEu and FBVEs composites were increased by approximately 15% and 17% compared to dry specimens. The results of Mode II fracture toughness obtained experimentally exhibited that the fracture energy of FBVEu composites, GIIC init. and GIIC prop. were improved by 58% and 21%, respectively compared to that of FVE dry specimens. Moisture absorption behaviour caused an increase in the ductility of matrix which resultantly improved the resistance to crack initiation. However, there was a reduction in the fibre/matrix interfacial strength of FBVEu wet composites and a deterioration in the delamination resistance to crack propagation. The critical strain energy release rate of neat VE increased about 52% with reinforcement of flax fibre composites. The fracture mechanisms showed energy dissipation through matrix deformation, fibre pull-out, fibre debonding, and fibre breakage. The experimental results confirmed that basalt fibre hybridisation enhanced the durability and water repellence behaviour of flax fibre reinforced composites. Finally, this thesis provides a unique manufacturing technique to improve the interlaminar fracture toughness of flax fibre and flax/basalt hybrid composite laminates to be used in load bearing applications as an alternative to E-glass fibre reinforced composites. The outcomes of this study will be beneficial to automotive, marine and construction industries. In addition, the findings of this study will be useful for academic and researchers who are involved in the research and development of sustainable composites for light-weight structural applications.

Abstract:
The quasi-static strength, stiffness, and fatigue properties of cross-ply, angle-ply, and quasi-isotropic vinyl ester/E-glass non-woven tricot stitched fabric composite laminates fabricated from the Continuous Resin Transfer Molding (CRTM) pultrusion process were the focus of this research. The tricot stitch and the 6% vinyl ester matrix cure shrinkage were found to play key roles in the quasi-static and fatigue strength and stiffness properties of these laminates. Laminates tested transverse to the pultrusion axis had greater fiber undulation and maximum of 44% quasi-static strength reduction and 8% stiffness reduction compared with axially tested specimens. While the matrix failure strain was 1.9%, failure strain of these laminates range over 1.91 to 2.08% when tested along the pultrusion axis and as low as 1.29% transverse to the pultrusion axis. Fatigue evaluation, in load control mode, evaluated laminate S-N, stiffness reduction, and residual strength. Measured S-N curves and residual strength curves compared with literature were found most like woven fabric laminates, well below aerospace grade laminates. Residual strength and life analysis using Reifsnider's methodology [43], revealed that the choice of quasi-static strength and stiffness, S-N curve, laminate stiffness reduction, and residual strength shape parameter, J, strongly affect predicted life. Predictions at high fatigue stress/low cycle were more exact than at low stress; the S-N curve was steep initially but at low stress/high cycle was nearly horizontal. The best predictions utilized separate off-axis stiffness reductions of E2 obtained from cross-ply and G12 from angle-ply laminates, the quasi-static strength and stiffness of the laminate predicted, and the average S-N and residual strength curves.

Abstract:
The main aim of this work is to examine fracture toughness improvement mechanisms of a composite material containing tough interlayers modified with large thermoplastic particles. ¶ Various vinyl-ester (VE)/ poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) (ABS) blends were used for the interlayer-toughening of a VE/glass fibre composite to increase delamination resistance of the material under mode I and mode II loading. Dry ABS powder was mixed with the liquid resin in four different weight ratios: 3.5, 7, 11 and 15 phr (parts per hundred parts of resin) while the layer thickness was varied from 150 to 500um. Firstly, the tensile and mode I fracture toughness properties of the VE/ABS blends were assessed, and, by using the Raman Spectroscopy technique, a chemical reaction was discovered which occurred during ABS/VE mixing. This reaction consisted of butadiene dissolution from the ABS particles into the VE. Also, butadiene saturation within the VE was achieved at a composition of around 7% ABS particle content. Both mode I and mode II fracture toughness of the composite were significantly improved with the application of interlayers. Mode I fracture toughness GIc was found to be a function of interlayer thickness and ABS particle content variations, with the latter dominating GIc after the saturation point. Mode II fracture toughness was found to be independent of interlayer thickness and only moderately influenced by particle content. The toughening mechanisms that were the most influential within this interlayered material were plastic deformation and micro-cracking of the layer materials. Evidence of both mechanisms was found using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). ¶ A numerical analysis was conducted, using the experimental results from this study, to further explain the basic toughening mechanisms and fracture behaviour in the materials. The aim of the analysis was to examine the influence of the particles on the plastic zone size that develops in front of the crack tip, and the interaction between the particles and the crack tip. For this purpose FEA elastic-plastic crack propagation models were employed. Good agreement with the experimental data was found.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis first reviews, and then evaluates, the importance of fibre/matrix interfacial bonding in determining composite properties with particular reference to unidirectional E-glass reinforced vinyl ester systems. The potential of various non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques for determining the correlation between fibre treatment and bulk composite properties (such as interlaminar shear strength and tensile strength etc.) are described in detail. Acoustic Emission (AE) in particular is demonstrated to be useful in studying the process of damage during the mechanical tests. Some samples are also examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, and by a new and novel technique known as Sound Image Analysis (SIA) which allows the total spectrum of crack sound output to be analysed. Overall it has been established that the NDE techniques used can distinguish between different levels of interfacial bond strength and that AE can follow the progressive changes in fracture mode that follow from fibre surface treatment variations.

Abstract:
Syntactic foam is the porous composite produced by mixing prefabricated hollow spherical particle into the matrix. Syntactic foams are used as energy absorption sandwich core for several applications like marine, automotive, and aerospace. In this work, low density hollow glass microspheres are hybridized with fly ash cenosphere in Bisphenol-A epoxy-based vinyl ester matrix. Hybrid syntactic foams is created with 60% total filler content. Within these hybrid systems internal composition of two fillers were varied in a step of 25 vol% with respect to each other. Hybrid syntactic foams are prepared by the hand lay-up (molding) method. The physical characterization parameter contains density and matrix porosity whereas tensile, quasi-static compression, flexural (3-point bending), Izod impact, and micro Vickers hardness are grouped as mechanical characterization parameters. Scanning electron microscopy was performed on fractured surfaces to examine deformation and fracture mechanisms related with each loading condition.

Abstract:
In order to pack the largest number of PEM cells into the smallest space for transportation applications, bipolar plate assemblies must be thin. The brittleness of thermoset composites relative to metal poses a practical limit with respect to handling, assembly, and physical strength in the stack environment. A conductive thermoset vinyl ester adhesive-sealant was developed using resin technology from BMC’s 940 bipolar plate composites. Strength and conductivity effects were evaluated along with percent property retention following 2500 hour, 85°C immersion in water and water-glycol solutions. Analysis of variance was employed to assess statistical significance and estimate relative effect size. It was found that flexural strength of bonded specimens exceeded that of solid specimens of equivalent thickness. Its use reduced voltage drop by up to 50% compared with un-bonded specimens. Bonded specimens also showed significant improvement versus solid specimens in retention of properties following immersion. Bonded bipolar assemblies with flow channels showed little change in voltage drop over 2000 hours immersion in water and water-glycol solution at 85°C. These observations suggest the potential to utilize the adhesive to achieve thinner assembly designs with enhanced performance characteristics.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the thermal conductivity of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFRP) as potential structural materials. As a natural fiber, Bermuda grass seeds, conifer cones and pinecones are selected. The matrix comprised Vinyl ester resin. The mechanical properties (tensile strength and Young’s modulus) and fractography analysis were investigated in our previous study (Dikici B. M. S.-H., 2019). In the current study, the thermal conductivity was probed using transient plane source technique implemented in the TPS 2500S Thermal Constants Analyzer. The addition of 9% Bermuda fibers yielded a decrease of approximately 19.3% in thermal conductivity compared to that of the neat epoxy. With the addition of 9% nano cellulose fibers, a decrease of approximately 40.7% in thermal conductivity was observed in the nanocellulose/vinyl ester resin composite compared to the neat vinyl ester samples.

Abstract:
Abstract Fast growing plants or biomass wastes can be used as affordable and environmentally sustainable alternatives to synthetic insulation materials. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties (tensile strength and Young’s modulus) of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites as potential building materials. As a natural fiber, Bermuda grass seeds, conifer cones and pinecones are selected. The fundamental processes to develop nanofiber reinforced resin by processing agricultural waste fibers into nanocellulose is also investigated. Tensile tests are conducted to define stress/strain relationship. SEM tests are conducted to evaluate the surface topologies after fracture. The tensile fracture surfaces of composites were investigated. With the addition of Bermuda fibers, the stiffness of the vinyl ester sample was observed to increase by 624.2% compared to neat vinyl ester sample. With the addition of nanocellulose fibers, the stiffness of the composite was observed to increase by 53.3% compared to neat vinyl ester sample.

Abstract:
The aim of the research article is to study the mechanical and abrasive wear behaviour of carbon and glass fabric reinforced vinyl ester composites. The measured wear volume loss increases with increasing load/abrading distance. However, the specific wear rate decreases with increase in abrading distance and load. The results showed that the highest specific wear rate is for glass fabric reinforced vinyl ester composite with a value of 8.96 × 10−11 m3/Nm and the lowest wear rate is for carbon fabric reinforced vinyl ester composite with a value of 5.84 × 10−11 m3/Nm. Mechanical properties were evaluated and obtained values compared with the wear behaviour. The worn surfaces were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
