摘要: Recent developments in hot-melt impregnation, extrusion, and thermoforming offer multiple avenues for the design manufacture of low-cost thermoplastic composites mass transit automotive applications. Fiber reinforced thermoplastics such as glass/polypropylene (glass/PP) have found their applications front-end bumper beams, under body shields, other These materials also potential usage vehicles, buses. The present study focuses on a segment floor bus using glass/PP woven tape forms developed through impregnation process. An initial existing buses that metal skeletal frame plywood panels are used construction structure. representative composite featured material, belt-pressed to form flat laminate, adhesively bonded vacuum thermoformed ribbed laminat...
