Composites with epoxy matrix cannot be used in high temperature, while geopolymer matrix excel in high temperature resistance. First, prismatic specimens were subjected to conditioning temperature. Second, the tensile and bending test were performed at room temperature. This paper present comparison of mechanical properties of carbon/epoxy and carbon/geopolymer composites. Numerical simulations of tensile and bendidng tests were performed in finite element system Abaqus.
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.
