Abstract:

The work deals with evaluation of mechanical properties three types of pellet samples produced from poppy waste. The pellets were submitted to compressive loading. The compressive loading curves of dependencies of force on strain and force on time were realised. Certain mechanical parameters were determined, namely the diameter of the sample, length of the sample, force at 10% of strain, force in the first maximum of the force – strain curve, strain in the first maximum of the force – strain curve, modulus of elasticity, force in the inflex point of the force – time and force – strain curves and strain and stress in the inflex point of the force – time and force – strain curves. The work lists correlations of mechanical parameters of individual pellet types. The pellet type 1 made only of ground poppy head mass has shown the best results, the pellet type 3 consisting of ground poppy heads after harvest and waste from sieving of poppy seeds in mass proportion 1 : 1 has shown the worst results.

Abstract:

This article is focused on the utilization of elementary mathematical model for description of mechanical behaviour of composites materials reinforced by fibres of Ensete Ventricosium under tension loading. Elementary mathematical model was derived for unidirectional fibres oriented in the direction of tension loading and it was experimentally verified. As a matrix it was used a two-component resin Gluepox Rapid and as a reinforcement they were used fibres of Ensete Ventricosum. Experimental samples with different volume fibres ratio contained 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 and 140 fibres were tested on tensile equipment MP Test – 5.050. In this study the elementary mathematical model was utilized for description of dependency between modulus of elasticity, rupture stress and volume fibres ratio. From this research follows that data determined from derived elementary mathematical model are significant (on the level of significance 0.05) with experimentally determined data. This derived elementary mathematical model can be used as background for further research related to the modelling of mechanical behaviour of composites reinforced by fibres.
