Purpose: The aim of this paper is to find out the curing temperature at which we can achieve the best mechanical properties and adhesion between silica-based geopolymer matrix (Q1) and carbon HTS 5631 1600tex 24K fibre. Design/methodology/approach: The carbon fibre was impregnated with silica-based geopolymer by means of home-made “impregnation machine”. This equipment was designed based on simulating the real pultrusion or filament winding technique. Composite samples were made manually in silicon mould and cured under hot vacuum bagging technique at different temperatures. Flexural properties were determined under three-point bending mode in accordance with British Standard BS EN ISO 14125:1998. The sections perpendicular to fibres and surfaces of the composites were analysed by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) to estimate the adhesion between geopolymer matrices and fibre reinforcement. Findings: Relatively wide range of curing temperature from 70oC to 100oC at which we can obtain high flexural properties, maximal values of flexural strength 570 MPa, flexural modulus 65 GPa and relative deformation of composite was 0.98% when the composite was cured and dried at 75oC. Adhesion of the geopolymer matrix to carbon fibre was very good and hardly to determine the differences by SEM image observation within the range of optimal curing temperature. Research limitations/implications: The curing time was too long to provide the geopolymerization process before it had been completed, this factor caused that it should be carried out in the future and we may use liquid absorption to determine how many cavities are in the composites. Practical implications: The research presents original information on the influence of different curing temperatures on mechanical properties and micro-structure of silica-based geopolymer matrix – carbon composite. The results are useful for further investigations. Originality/value: Determining the optimal curing temperature and micro-structure of silica-based geopolymer system to make it easy to find the curing time and other conditions to get the best properties of this type of materials.

In terms of high strength in relation to mass the alloys of aluminium – lithium find more and more use mainly in aircraft industry like in spacecraft. At present intensive investigations are carried out in aim of use of Al – Li in automotive industry in particular to components subject to fatigue wear. It could contribute to replace transmission’s elements made from traditional materials by aluminium - lithium alloys. However low resistance to wear due to forming of thin Al2O3 layer which is reproducing in friction contact disqualifies using aluminium alloys in friction contact. From this point of view first stage of investigation was to enhance hardness properties of the substrate by applying thermo-mechanical treatment. In this article the results of heat treatment of Al-Zn-Mg-Li alloy were presented. During investigations optimum parameters (timetemperature) of the solution heat treatment were elaborated. Micro hardness on the cross-section were investigated. Phase, chemical composition and morphology were determined. It was found that hardness after thermo-mechanical treatment of Al-Zn-Mg-Li is about 20% higher than for AlCu4Mg1 (7075 –T6) alloy.

Prezentowane wyniki stanowią wstępne podsumowanie dotychczasowych badań własnych dotyczących połączeń zakładkowych, hybrydowych, nitowano-śrubowych. Rozważano elementy próbne z połączeniami dwuciętymi, w których jeden z nitów został wymieniony na śrubę wysokiej wytrzymałości. W poszczególnych elementach śruby osadzano w otworach zwykłych lub pasowanych, a następnie sprężano. Zagadnienie związane z wymianą nitów na śruby podjęto z uwagi na częste stosowanie takiej praktyki w przypadku remontów zabytkowych konstrukcji stalowych. Jednak nośność takich połączeń nie jest dotychczas potwierdzona badaniami modelowymi i analizami obliczeniowymi. Wyniki wykonanych badań zilustrowano na wykresach obciążenie - przemieszczenie, które można porównać z wynikami referencyjnymi dotyczącymi połączenia na dwa nity. Ponadto ustalono siłę niszczącą połączenia oraz oszacowano ich sztywność translacyjną. Ważnym etapem prowadzonych badań była analiza różnych układów łączników w połączeniu, a wnioski płynące z otrzymanych badań potwierdzają aktualny stan wiedzy zawarty w [1, 2].

The results presented in this article are a preliminary summary of the authors’ research on the lap connections, hybrid joints, and riveted bolt joints. The analysed test elements with double-notched joints, in which one of the rivets was replaced with a high-resistance bolt. The bolts in specific elements were placed in regular or fitted holes and then pre-stressed. The issue related to the replacement of rivets with bolts was analysed due to the fact that this is a commonly used practice in the renovation of historic streel structures. However, the bearing capacity of those joints has not yet been confirmed by model studies with computational analyses. The results of the performed tests are presented in form of load-displacement diagrams, which may be compared to the reference results for double-riveted joints. A part from that, the joint breaking force was determined and the translational stiffness was assessed. An important element of the conducted research was the analysis of various arrangements of connectors in a joint. The results of the analyses confirm the current state of knowledge presented in publications [1, 2].
