Determination of durability based on the kinetic concept of strength in the development and manufacture of polymer composite materials

Dvirnaya E.V., Veshkin E.A., Kornienko G.V., Startsev O.V.
Abstract

Durability variations were determined for VKU-39/VTkU-2.200 carbon fiber composites manufactured under different pressures and resin contents, as well as KMKS fiberglass in six filler and binder variations. Based on interlaminar shear test results at various loading rates, a thermal activation analysis was performed, which allowed to assess changes in durability and thermodynamic strength parameter depending on the material composition and manufacturing technology.

Keywords
carbon fiber reinforced polymer, glass fiber reinforced polymer, kinetic theory of strength, Zhurkov's equation, durability, thermal activation analysis, curing parameters
