This work is an experimental investigation of the flexural properties of hybrid matrix composites reinforced with different types of reinforcement, namely short glass fibers, glass beads, and short steel fibers. The aim of this investigation is to determine the mechanical behavior and properties of the composites that were manufactured, as well as to define an optimum composition of the materials used that will result in a composite with enhanced mechanical performance for building applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
