The method begins with the raw materials, reinforcing fibre and thermoplastic granulate which are processed to tapes through a newly developed direct impregnation process. It is followed by consolidation of fibre-reinforced thermoplastic tubes using infrared (IR) emitters in the filament winding process. This process employs various angles and utilizes a rotatable consolidation axis. The winding process operates at a constant speed, addressing the challenge of bending the fibre-reinforced tapes in the angle reversal areas near the tube ends. Experiments have confirmed that the process can run at speeds reaching approximately 470 mm/min. The design of the impregnation line takes into account the properties of the thermoplastic and the roving, allowing for a speed of up to 1 m/s.

The tubes are frequently subjected to bending loads, depending on the application. In order that the dimensioning of the tubes can be ensured, analytical bending models are used to calculate the resulting stresses, strains and displacements in the individual layers of the laminate. This enables the making of a statement about the failure of the fiber-reinforced tube by choosing an appropriate failure criterion. For the use of these bending models, it is necessary to understand the respective underlying theory. The theory provides the basis for the mathematical description of the mechanical properties for a single-layered tube and using the relationships between the stresses and strains that occur in the Cylindrical coordinate system for this calculation step. For this reason, a redefinition of the compliance matrix from the transformation about the winding angle to the Cylindrical coordinate system and a modification of the stress and strain vectors is necessary, because the defined Cartesian coordinate system of the model cannot be used for wounded FRP tubes. The transformation causes an exchange of entries in the compliance matrix, which remain in the correct relationship between the particular stress and strains. This step is not specified and may lead to incorrect results due to the incorrect entry of compliances. The present publication refers to sketch on this issue and represent a simplification of the changeover to the level required by the bending models notation of vectors in the form of a permutation. In addition, a new name for the pre-acquisition of the redefined compliances is given to prevent confusion when entering the material law of a bending model. Finally, the permuted and redefined compliances are proved in an example to determine their accuracy.

OTH-Clusterkonferenz, 13. April 2018, Weiden, Tagungsband; Festschrift, 5 Jahre OTH-Verbund N2 - This article presents first results of artificial aging experi-ments by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on thermoplasticmaterials conducted as an intent of the research project Thermoplastic Composite Structures (TheCoS) in colla-boration of the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule(OTH) Regensburg and the University of West Bohemia(UWB) in Pilsen as part of a cross-border cooperation. In technical applications, thermoplastic materials are oftenaffected by aging and a related deterioration of the mechanical properties. Therefore, it is necessary to identifythe aging behavior of thermoplastic materials. For this,experiments were performed for three thermoplasticmaterials, namely polypropylene (PP), ultra high mole -cular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and high impactstrength polystyrene (HIPS). For these experiments, a UV chamber was constructed according to the internationalstandard EN ISO 4892-3 for simulation of exposurebehind window glass. The results are evaluated by testing the flexural strength and the dynamic mechanicalresponse after a selected period of time under UV lightand then compared to untreated test specimens.

Die Wechselwirkung zwischen den physikalischen, mechanischen und geometrischen Parametern erhöht den Komplexitätsgrad des Herstellungsprozesses. Ziel ist daher die Entwicklung einer Imprägniertechnik, die eine Fasertränkung mittels eines Thermoplastschmelzbades ermöglicht.

The melt impregnation is used in the process of continuous glass fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites. To develop a mathematical model for roving impregnation, it's essential to know about the viscous behaviour of the matrix system. Therefore, this paper will discuss rheological models to describe these phenomena, based on the gathered viscosity data from the partner laboratory at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen.
