@article{10902/29379, year = {2023}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10902/29379}, abstract = {This work describes the correlations between the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and physical properties of fibrous-particulate hybrid composites made of glass/carbon fabrics and three different micro-inclusions such as silica particles, recycled carbon fibre powder and Portland cement. A full factorial design (214151) is established to identify the effects of volume fraction, stacking sequence and particle type on the physical properties obtained by Archimedes' principle. An electroacoustic transducer (50 kHz) is used to determine the ultrasonic pulse velocity data. Statistical models reveal correlations between UPV and the physical properties of hybrid composites. The combination of UPV and statistical techniques can identify all constitutive phases, being useful to characterise and estimate physical properties in a hybrid system composed of fibres and microparticles.}, organization = {The authors acknowledge the Brazilian Research Agencies, CAPES (MSc scholarship), CNPq (PQ-309885/2019–1) and FAPEMIG (PPM-00075-17) for the financial support provided.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, publisher = {Hybrid Advances, 2023, 2, 100024}, title = {Ultrasonic pulse velocity and physical properties of hybrid composites: a statistical approach}, author = {Moni Ribeiro Filho, Sergio Luiz and Thomas García, Carlos and Pereira Durao, Luis Miguel and Christoforo, André Luis and Bowen, Chris and Scarpa, Fabrizio and Panzera, Túlio Hallak}, }
