Composite Materials
FAST-CJ02Acad. year: 2009/2010
The present structure of material industry, development of composite materials, classification of composite materials into basic types and their characteristics. Definition of composite materials the explanation of composite behaviour. The variables which define the properties of composites. The structural distribution of composites – production problems. Fibrous composites - long and short fibres. Unidirectional composites - the relative proportion of phases (volume and mass proportion of components, basic calculation equations). Longitudinal strength and rigidity, stress-strain diagram under tensile stress (graphs, basic calculation relations). Thermal dilatation and transport properties (graphs, equations for basic calculation). Carbon, steel, glass and polypropylene fibres. Composites reinforced by strip stiffeners. Particle composites and their classification. Concrete with polymers – binders, fillers, aggregates, admixtures and modifiers. Production and properties. Polymer-cement mortars and concrete. Impregnated concrete. Utilization of mortars and concrete with polymers. Mortars and concrete with bitumen - asphalt, asphaltic bitumen, aggregate admixtures. Bituminous mixtures, asphalt concrete, cast asphalt. Binders for bituminous mortars and concrete, classification, properties. Fillers for bituminous mortars and concrete, properties. Admixtures to asphalt-concrete.
