SUITABLE MATERIAL FOR STUDIED TANK

Abstract

Composites materials are made by combining two materials where one of the materials is reinforcement (fiber) and the other material is a matrix (resin). The combination of the fiber and matrix provide characteristics superior to either of the materials alone. Some examples of composite materials are plywood, reinforced concrete, fiberglass & polyester resin, and graphite & epoxy resin. The glass fibers used in reinforcing thermo-plastic thermo-rigid resins are obtained from the so called textile glass consisting of yarn and ply. The assessment of the tensile behavior for a polymeric composite part is a more difficult issue than for example the assessment of a metal part in the same conditions, especially due to the accentuated dependence of the polymeric composite materials of some influences like temperature, test duration.
