Load-carrying capacity of barlike elements reinforced with boron plastic

Abstract

We analyze the behavior of metallic barlike structural elements with triangular and trapezoidal cross sections reinforced with unidirectional epoxy boron plastic and subjected to tension and compression under conditions of liquid nitrogen and at room temperature. We describe methods for evaluation of the load-carrying capacity of structures of this sort with account for the strength of the components and the mechanical bonds between them and give recommendations on the proper choice of geometric parameters of the shape of reinforced bars.
