Abstract
Dynamic mechanical and thermal properties were determined for unidirectional epoxy/glass composites at various fiber orientation angles. Resonant frequency and relative logarithmic decrement were measured as functions of temperature. In low angle and longitudinal specimens, a transition was observed above the resin glass transition temperature which was manifested mechanically as anadditional damping peak and thermally as a change in the coefficient of thermal expansion. The new transition was attributed to a heterogeneous resin matrix induced by the fiber. The temperature span of the glassβrubber relaxation was found to broaden with decreasing orientation angle, reflecting the growth of fiber contribution and exhibiting behavior similar to that of Young's modulus. The change in resonant frequency through the glass transition was greatest for samples of intermediate fiber angle, demonstrating behavior similar to that of the longitudinal shear modulus.

## Abstract The dynamic mechanical properties of randomly oriented intimately mixed hybrid composites based on pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) and glass fibers (GF) in unsaturated polyester (PER) matrix were investigated. The PALFs have highβspecific strength and improve the mechanical properties of t
Three-ply composite laminates prepared from E-glass or N-glass chopped strand mats (CSMs) and jute (J) fabrics as reinforcing agents and amine-cured epoxy resin as the matrix material were subjected to dynamic mechanical thermal analysis at a fixed frequency of 1 Hz over a temperature range of 30-18
Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was used to investigate the thermomechanical behavior and the effects of postcuring on a range of glass-reinforced phenolics. The materials examined were a pure resol (reinforced with S-and E-glass), a pure novolac (reinforced with S-glass), and three derivatives of
Short jute fiber-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared using a high-speed thermokinetic mixer. A compatibilizer was used to improve the molecular interaction between jute and PP. Both the percent weight fraction of the jute fiber and compatibilizer were varied to study the dynamic m
