THERMOGRAPHIC TESTING OF EPOXY-GLASS COMPOSITE TENSILE PROPERTIES

The re-sults ob-ta-i-ned in the pa-ral-lel te-sting of the epoxy-glass com-po-si-te spe-ci-men, using con-ven-ti-o-nal mec-ha-ni-cal met-hods and ther-mo-graphy, are pre-sen-ted. The ten-si-le pro-per-ti-es of com-po-si-te we-re fol-lo-wed by ther-mo-graphy. The tem-pe-ra-tu-re chan-ges on the te-sted sam-ple we-re con-ti-nu-o-usly re-cor-ded ena-bling the pre-dic-tion of the cri-ti-cal stres-ses, which might ca-u-se the frac-tu-res and to de-fi-ne the cri-te-ria on the ma-xi-mum sam-ple tem-pe-ra-tu-re al-te-ra-tion in the fi-eld of the ela-stic and ela-stic-pla-stic de-for-ma-tion of in-ve-sti-ga-ted spe-ci-men.
