Application of Kolmogorov-Sinai's Metric Entropy for the Analysis of Mechanical Properties in the Bending Test of Epoxy-Rubber-Glass Composites.

The article presents an analysis of the results obtained during the three-point bending test for seven variants of epoxy rubber-glass composites manufactured according to innovative technology. Different contents of rubber recyclate (3, 5, and 7%) and different methods of distribution of the recyclate in the composite structure (1, 2, and 3 layers with a constant share of 5% of the recyclate) were used in the tested materials. To determine the stress values at which critical failures of the tested materials are initiated in the bending test, an analysis was carried out using the Kolmogorov-Sinai () metric entropy calculations.

Analysis of the Strength Properties of Epoxy-Glass Composites Modified with the Addition of Rubber Recyclate Using Kolmogorov-Sinai Metric Entropy.

This paper presents the results of investigations of the mechanical properties of epoxy-glass composites with the addition of rubber recyclate. For the purposes of the study, seven variants of materials were designed and manufactured, which differed in terms of the percentage of recyclate content (3, 5 and 7%) and the way the recyclate was distributed in the composite (one, two and three layers with a constant share of 5%). Tests of comparative mechanical properties were carried out using a static tensile test.

Analysis of the Impact of Rubber Recyclate Addition to the Matrix on the Strength Properties of Epoxy-Glass Composites.

Currently, there is a noticeable trend of modifying new materials by using additives from the recycling of harmful waste. This is to protect the environment by using waste to produce composites and at the same time to reduce the cost of their production. The article presents an analysis of the impact of the use of rubber recyclate obtained from the utilization of car tires as a sandwich layer of epoxy-glass composites and its impact on the strength parameters of the composite.

Application of Statistical Methods to Accurately Assess the Effect of Gamma Aluminum Oxide Nanopowder on the Hardness of Composite Materials with Polyester-Glass Recyclate.

Polymer composites are materials that are used in many industries. Their wide application has a direct impact on the amount of post-production and post-consumer waste. The global problem with recycling, especially of fiber-reinforced polymeric materials, has prompted research into methods of their use.

Creation of AlSi12 Alloy Coating by Centrifugal Induction Surfacing with the Addition of Low-Melting Metals.

This paper investigates the structure and mechanical characteristics of a coating based on an AlSi12 alloy, obtained by centrifugal induction surfacing as an alternative to a bronze sliding bearing. To provide for the adhesion of an aluminum layer to the inner surface of a steel bearing housing, a sublayer of low-melting metals was formed, while the formation of the main layer and the sublayer was done in a single processing cycle. The low-melting metals had higher density, which ensured that the sublayer was created at the interface with the steel bearing housing under the action of centrifugal forces.
