A study of physical and mechanical characteristics of polymer composite materials by ultrasonic technique

Abstract

This work is concerned with the determining of physical and mechanical characteristics (dynamic elastic modulus along the direction of reinforcement, porosity, density, percentage of binder, strength) of fiberglass plastics by ultrasonic technique. The techniques, which are currently used for evaluation of the above-mentioned parameters of polymeric composite materials, are presented. The ultrasonic technique of physical and mechanical characteristics determining of glass fiber reinforced plastics for radio engineering purpose on the base of quarzitic, glass and siliceous fillers is proposed.
