Damage characterisation of a textile reinforced cement composite under low velocity impact loading Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The investigated material in the present work is a glass fabric reinforced Inorganic Phosphate Cement (IPC) composite. This material showed good potential to absorb energy under low velocity impact loading in preliminary tests. In this paper, the occurring damage mechanisms during a low velocity impact event are characterised by means of an experimental study performed with a drop weight tower. During impact the load and acceleration of the ...
Strain rate effect on the mechanical behaviour of a textile reinforced cement composite Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The static tensile behaviour of Textile Reinforced Cement Composites is known and can be modeled adequately. However, using these static material properties under dynamic loadings such as impact and seismic loadings, can cause over- or underestimation of the material due to effects of strain rate. This work focuses on the strain rate dependency of a specific textile reinforced cement composite under tensile loadings at strain rates equivalent to ...
Inorganic Phosphate Textile Reinforced Cement composite moulds Vrije Universiteit Brussel
SUMMARY
In order to meet the new demands of the industry, for example: reduction of production time, material reduction, cost saving and ecological aspects a new mould production technique will be presented. The aim of this research is the development of a mould technique which can replace the classic thermo harder or metal moulds, using textile reinforced cement. This mould type will even be applicable for the production of thermoplastic ...

FORMING THERMOPLASTIC PREPREGS IN A TEXTILE REINFORCED INORGANIC PHOSPHATE CEMENT COMPOSITE MOULD Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Thermoplastics offer a number of important advantages over thermosetting composites for example: reduction of production time, material reduction, cost saving and ecological aspects. However, forming, thermoplastic composite parts, requires high processing temperatures (+200°C). The aim of this research is the development of a mould technique which can replace the common metal moulds, using textile reinforced cementitious composites. In order to ...
