Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is one of the most common problems encountered in microwave applications. Interaction of electromagnetic (EM) waves from different sources may result in device malfunction due to misinterpretation of the transferred data or information loss. On the other hand, development of materials with reduced radar detectability is desired in defense applications. Considering the limitations in weight and thickness, development of lightweight structural materials with enhanced electromagnetic absorption potential is needed. In this study, development and characterization of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite materials to be used in EM wave absorbing or EMI shielding applications was aimed. Incorporation of electromagnetic wave absorption characteristic has been achieved by the application of conductive thin film on fiber glass woven fabric reinforcement layers. Characterization of EM wave absorption potential was conducted using &ldquo / free-space method&rdquo / in 18 &ndash / 27 GHz frequency range. Single and multilayered combinations of surface-modified fiber glass woven fabrics were characterized in terms of their EM wave interaction properties and design principles for efficient broadband EM wave absorbing multilayered GFRP composite material have been presented. A computer aided computation method has also developed in order to predict EM wave transmission, reflection, and hence absorption characteristics of multilayered structures from single layer properties. Estimated results were verified compared to free-space measurement results. In the current study, up to 85% electromagnetic wave absorption has been obtained within 18-27 GHz frequency range (K band). Enhancement of EM wave absorption potential of multilayer structure has also been demonstrated by computer aided computation.

Im Rahmen des Transferprojektes T01 „Textilbeschichtung mit hochviskosen Massen“ des Sonderforschungsbereiches 532 (SFB 532) wird die Realisierung und Bewertung eines integrierten Beschichtungskonzeptes zur nachhaltigen Verbesserung der Tragfähigkeit von textilbewehrten Betonbauteilen an der RWTH Aachen University untersucht. Dazu wird eine neue Auftragstechnik für hochviskose Beschichtungsmassen entwickelt, die eine vollständige Penetration von Multifilamentgarnen mit großen Garntitern und einer hohen Anzahl an Filamenten in textilen Gelegen erzielt. Des Weiteren werden aktive Beschichtungsmassen auf der Basis von Polyvinylalkohol-Zement-Compositen, die eine homogene Anbindung aller Einzelfilamente an die Zementmatrix ermöglichen, erforscht.

Fiber reinforcement is being widely used in concrete tunnel linings these days. Using fiber reinforcement can save not only cost, but also labor and time spent on construction. However, many owners hesitate to incorporate fiber reinforcement in tunnel lining due to lack of experience with and knowledge of the behavior of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) In this study, fiber reinforced concrete was made with various kinds of fibers such as steel fiber, macro-synthetic fiber and hybrid fiber (a blend of macro-synthetic fiber and glass fiber). Many experimental tests were performed to investigate the compressive, flexural and shear behavior of fiber reinforced concrete. In addition to the structural capacity of FRC, the distribution of fiber reinforcement inside the concrete matrix was investigated. Test results of these experimental tests were thoroughly examined to compare and quantify the effects of fiber reinforcement. Next, the test results were used to generate axial force-bending moment interaction diagrams based on current design approaches. In addition, the current design approaches were modified to estimate the accurate and exact value of bending moment. Fiber reinforcement clearly improved the structural performance of tunnel lining. The post-peak flexural and shear strength was significantly influenced by the type and amount of fiber reinforcement. / text

This thesis investigates the performance of GFRP pretensioned concrete slabs and compares their flexural behaviour with GFRP reinforced and steel prestressed concrete slabs. A total of 12 slabs were cast in this program. The slab mid-span deflections are theoretically predicted and the results indicate that the short-term response of GFRP prestressed concrete slabs can be predicted well by the existing methods. Long-term deflection behaviour has been estimated using the Age Adjusted Effective Modulus Method by incorporating three creep and shrinkage models. A large influence of creep and shrinkage models on the theoretical determination is observed and the use of long term multipliers is not suitable for GFRP prestressed concrete members. The slabs were instrumented for long-term monitoring using strain gauges and fibre-optic sensors. It was concluded that the electrical strain gauges can be successfully used for long-term strain monitoring.

Hybride Oberflächenaktivierungen von Glasfaserrovings mittels Polymer/Zement-Kompositen ermöglichen eine komplette Durchdringung des Rovings mit Beton von der Matrix bis zu den innenliegenden Einzelfilamenten. Dies erlaubt einen deutlich verbesserten Lasteintrag in den gesamten Rovingquerschnitt bei der Verwendung als Faserverstärkung in textilbewehrten Betonen. Auf Grund von ausgeprägten Domänen hydratisierter Zementsteinphasen innerhalb des Rovings ergibt sich eine komplexe, multiskalige Verbundstruktur, die sich in ihren Eigenschaften deutlich von klassischen polymerbeschichteten Rovings unterscheidet. Wir diskutieren diesen Ansatz in Bezug auf Herstellung, nano-/mikroskopische Charakterisierung, sowie der mechanischen Eigenschaften der Probenkörper unter beschleunigten Alterungsbedingungen. Die mikroskopischen Untersuchungen mittels höchstauflösender Elektronenmikroskopie und Nanoindentation zielen darauf ab, die Grenzflächenanbindung, die veränderte Struktur in Abhängigkeit des verwendeten Polymers und der Additive sowie die Korrosionsmechanismen aufzuklären. / Hybrid surface modifications of glass fiber rovings with polymer/cement-composites allow the generation of extended cement phases within the roving and an activation of the innermost filaments to the surrounding concrete matrix. This enables enhanced load transfer across the full roving cross section when used as fibrous reinforcement in textile-reinforced concrete. Due to the presence of extended concrete domains within the roving, a complex multiscale composite structure develops, displaying distinctly different properties as compared to standard polymer impregnation routes. We discuss this approach in terms of production, nano/microscopic characterization of the concrete composites and mechanical properties of the resulting specimens under accelerated aging conditions. The microscopy studies using highest resolution electron microscopy and nanoindentation aim to elucidate the interface connection, the changes in morphology of the concrete as a function of the polymer and additives used, as well as shedding light on the corrosion mechanisms.

As alternative to introduce composites materials that have least environmentally impact natural fibers have drawn attention of researchers. In this work the aim is to manufacture by vacuum infusion process, composite laminates hybrid adding woven jute fiber in structural weaving fiberglass with epoxy resin matrix. The quality of laminate was analyzed by fiber weight fraction determining and thermal analysis by DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and DMTA (Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis). It was possible to manufacture hybrids laminates by vacuum infusion with fiber fraction in about 60%. Hybrids laminates presented had a reduction of density of 20% with relation to the glass reinforced plastic. Regarding to mechanical properties, the laminates were characterized by tensile, compression and ILSS testing. With respect to hybrid laminates, the better results of tensile properties such as strength and young's modulus was achieved by the laminates with fiber oriented in 0/90° (H0/90) with maximum strength value near to 200 MPa, while for orientation ±45° (H45 e H45/0/90) the strength results were 68 MPa and 84 MPa, respectively. In this case can be highlighted the hybrid laminate H45, whose tensile strength (83,9 MPa) has not present significant changes with the introduction of jute fiber (with increase of 60% its thickness) compared with glass reinforced plastic (84,5 MPa) for the same fiber orientation. For compressive strength the best result was presented by the laminates H0/90 (fibers in 0/90°) as well, with values close to 150 MPa while the laminates to ±45° (H45 e H45/0/90) presented values of 90 MPa. Regarding to ILSS the variation of strength was smaller, 25 MPa to direction 0/90° and 23 MPa and 21 MPa to H45 and H45//0/90 laminates, respectively. Therefore, mechanical properties were significantly influenced by plies orientation in the laminates and by the hybridization with jute fibers. / Nos últimos anos, devido ao crescente consumo de compósitos de fibras sintéticas com matriz termorrígida, várias alternativas têm sido buscadas a fim de minimizar os impactos gerados tanto pelo descarte desse material ao fim de sua vida útil, quanto pela grande dependência de derivados de recursos não renováveis, como o petróleo para a produção das matérias-primas. Como uma das alternativas de introduzir na área de compósitos, materiais que tenham menores impactos ambientais, as fibras naturais têm recebido atenção de pesquisadores. Assim, neste trabalho foram moldados pelo processo de infusão à vácuo, compósitos de laminados híbridos através da utilização de tecidos de fibras de juta e tecidos estruturais de fibras de vidro com matriz de resina epóxi. A qualidade dos laminados foi analisada por meio da determinação da fração mássica de fibra e por análise térmica de DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) e DMTA (Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis. Foi possível moldar laminados híbridos pelo processo de infusão com fração de fibra em cerca de 60%. Os laminados híbridos apresentaram uma redução na densidade de 20% em relação aos compósitos contendo somente fibras de vidro. Em relação às propriedades mecânicas, os compósitos laminados foram caracterizados através dos ensaios de tração, compressão e cisalhamento interlaminar (ILSS). Entre os laminados híbridos, os melhores resultados de propriedades de tração, como resistência e módulo de elasticidade foram alcançados pelos laminados com ambas as fibras orientadas a 0/90° (H0/90), com valor de tensão máxima próximo a 200 MPa, enquanto que para as orientações ±45° (H45 e H45/0/90) os valores foram próximos de 68 e 84 MPa, respectivamente. No caso, pode ser destacado o laminado híbrido H45, cuja resistência a tração (83,9 MPa) não apresentou mudanças significativas com a introdução das fibras de juta (com acréscimo de 60% na espessura) quando comparado ao laminado de fibras de vidro (84,5 MPa) com mesma orientação. A melhor resistência à compressão também foi apresentada pelos laminados orientados a 0/90° (H0/90) com valores próximos a 150 MPa, enquanto os laminados a ±45° (H45 e H45/0/90) apresentaram os valores de 90 MPa. Em relação à resistência ao cisalhamento interlaminar, entre os laminados híbridos, a variação entre as orientações foi menor, 25 MPa para a direção 0/90° e, 23MPa e 21MPa para os laminados H45 e H45//0/90, respectivamente. Assim, as propriedades mecânicas foram influenciadas significativamente pela orientação das v camadas nos laminados e pela introdução das fibras de juta. Desta forma, conclui-se que a significativa redução de algumas propriedades possivelmente invalida a utilização das configurações híbridas estudadas para aplicações estruturais nas pás eólicas. No entanto, as configurações de laminados híbridos, desenvolvidas e analisadas neste trabalho podem ser aplicadas para moldar componentes em compósitos para peças não estruturais ou com menores requisitos de resistência, como para o segmento automotivo, e ainda com possibilidades de melhorias.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The aim of this study was to assess the effect of instrument type (K-files and nickel-titanium rotary files) and the root canal filling technique (active and passive lateral condensation) on fracture resistance. Sixty eight teeth (canines and premolars) were divided into 4 groups (n=17): G1 - hand instrumentation and active lateral condensation; G2 - hand instrumentation and passive lateral condensation; G3 - rotary instrumentation and active lateral condensation; G4 - rotary instrumentation and passive lateral condensation. Before the filling, the roots were embedded in acrylic resin to simulate the periodontal ligament using a polyether impression material. Every root was restored with glass fiber post and metallic crown. The specimens were mechanical cycled (500.000 cycles, 45°, 37° C, 133 N, 2 Hz) and they were submitted to fracture test (45º, 1 mm/ min) until the fracture occurred. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed that the groups were not different from each other (p = 0. 247). In situations where an endodontic post is required, the instrument type and the obturation technique seem to have no influence on fracture resistance. / O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito do tipo de instrumento (limas manuais tipo K e instrumentos rotatórios de NiTi) e da técnica obturadora (condensação lateral ativa e condensação lateral passiva) na resistência à fratura. Para isso, 68 dentes (caninos e pré-molares) foram divididos em 4 grupos (n=17): G1 - instrumentação manual e condensação lateral ativa; G2 - instrumentação manual e condensação lateral passiva; G3 - instrumentação rotatória e condensação lateral ativa; G4 - instrumentação rotatória e condensação lateral passiva. Antes da etapa obturadora, as raízes foram embutidas em resina acrílica para a simulação do ligamento periodontal com material de moldagem à base de poliéter. Todas as raízes foram restauradas com pino de fibra de vidro e coroa metálica. Os espécimes foram submetidos à ciclagem mecânica (500.000 ciclos, 45°, 37° C, 133 N, 2 Hz) e ao teste de resistência à fratura (45º, 1 mm/ min) até a falha ocorrer. O teste de Kruskal-Wallis mostrou que os grupos não foram diferentes entre si (p = 0, 247). Em situações em que há a necessidade de cimentação de pino intrarradicular, a escolha do tipo de instrumento e da técnica obturadora parece não ter influência na resistência à fratura.

The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of irrigating and chelating solutions on bond strength of fiber glass posts cemented with RelyX U200. 60 single-rooted premolars were sectioned at 14 mm from the apex, prepared with ProTaper Universal system until F3 instrument and filled with F3 master cone and AH Plus sealer. Root canal filling was partially removed, remaining 4 mm of guta-percha at the apical third. Specimens were randomly divided into 5 experimental groups (n=12), according to the solution used before fiber post cementation (dentin surface treatment), as described: EDTA 17% (EDTA); QMix (QM); SmearClear (SC); NaOCl 2.5% (NaOCl) and saline solution as control group (SS). Ultrasonic activation was performed three times, during 20 seconds each and root canals were dried with paper points. Exacto N2 glass fiber posts were cemented with RelyX U200. Rhodamine B dye was mixed to RelyX U200 in one specimen per group, in order to provide fluorescence for confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) assessment. A cutting machine was used for root s sectioning, providing 3 slices, one for each root third. Next, push-out test was performed. Stereomicroscope and CLSM were used to analyze the failure mode and to illustrate the pattern of distribution of RelyX U200 inside dentinal tubules, respectively. Bond strength mean were calculated and ANOVA and Bonferroni tests were used for statistical analysis. SS showed the higher mean of bond strength values, superior to QM, SC (P < .05). NaOCl presented intermediary bond strength values, similar to EDTA and SS (P > .05). QM and SC showed the lowest mean of bond strength (P < .05). In conclusion, SS and NaOCl associated to ultrasonic activation seems to be adequate solutions for root canal cleaning before fiber post cementation with RelyX U200, while chelating solutions, such as EDTA, QMix and SmearClear, should not be used for dentin pre-treatment when cementing with RelyX U200. / O presente estudo tem por objetivo avaliar o efeito de diferentes soluções irrigantes e quelantes na resistência adesiva de pinos de fibra de vidro cimentados com cimento autoadesivo RelyX U200. 60 pré-molares inferiores extraídos de humanos, padronizados em 14 mm, foram preparados com o sistema ProTaper Universal até o instrumento F3, obturados com cimento AH Plus e cones F3 do mesmo sistema. Os espécimes foram desobturados parcialmente, restando 4 mm apicais de material obturador e realocados em quatro grupos experimentais e um controle (n=12), de acordo com a solução de tratamento de superfície dentinária prévia à cimentação dos pinos: EDTA 17% (EDTA), QMix (QM), SmearClear (SC), Soro Fisiológico (SS) e NaOCl 2,5% (NaOCl). As soluções foram ativadas por ultrassom em três etapas, durante 20 segundos cada e os canais foram secos com pontas de papel absorventes. Os pinos de fibra de vidro do Sistema Exacto Translúcido N2 foram cimentados com RelyX U200. Em um espécime por grupo foi incorporada Rodamina B ao cimento autoadesivo como marcador fluorescente para análise em Microscopia Confocal à laser (MECL). Foram seccionados 3slices por espécime, sendo 1 slice por terço radicular, e submetidos ao teste de push-out na máquina de ensaio universal EMIC. Estereomicroscópio e MECL foram utilizados para analisar o padrão de falha dos espécimes e o padrão de penetração do cimento autoadesivo nos túbulos dentinários, respectivamente. A média de resistência adesiva de cada espécime foi calculada. Testes ANOVA e Bonferroni foram utilizados para analisar as diferenças entre os grupos. SS demonstrou a maior média de resistência adesiva, sendo superior aos grupos QM, SC (P <.05). NaOCl apresentou valores intermediários de resistência adesiva, similares ao EDTA e SS (P > .05). QM e SC apresentaram as menores médias de resistência adesiva (P < .05). Pode-se concluir que o uso de SS e NaOCl parece ser adequado para lavagem do canal prévia à cimentação de pinos de fibra de vidro, com uso de cimento resinoso autoadesivo RelyX U200. O uso de soluções quelantes como EDTA, QM e SC parece interferir negativamente nos valores de resistência adesiva.

In this aspect the technical textiles are distinguished from conventional textile materials, in which the aesthetic and of comfort needs are of primordial importance. Based on these considerations, the subject of this dissertation was established having as its main focus the study of development of textile structures from aramid and glass fibers and acting in order to develop the manufacture of composite materials that combine properties of two different structures, manufactured in an identical operation, where each structure contributes to improving the properties of the resulting composite material. Therefore were created in laboratory scale, textile structures with low weight and different composition: aramid (100%), glass (100%) and aramid /glass (65/35%), in order to use them as a reinforcing element in composite materials with polyester matrix. These composites were tested in tension and its fracture surface, evaluated by MEV. Based on the analysis of mechanical properties of the developed composites, the efficiency of the structures prepared as reinforcing element were testified by reason of that the resistance values of the composites are far superior to the polyester matrix. It was also observed that hybridization in tissue structure was efficient, since the best results obtained were for hybrid composites, where strength to the rupture was similar to the steel 1020, reaching values on the order of 340 MPa / Os materiais denominados t?xteis t?cnicos podem ser definidos como estruturas projetadas e desenvolvidas com a fun??o de atender a requisitos funcionais espec?ficos de diversos setores da ind?stria, caso da ind?stria automotiva e aeroespacial.
