Abstract
Eggshells are daily food waste disposed of in landfills, producing environmentalissues and an unpleasant odour. Eggshells were crushed to form eggshell powder and may be suitably applied as a filler in epoxy resins to improve their mechanical properties. The shear strength of toughened epoxy with eggshell powder (TEEP) wasstudied. Single-lap joint (SLJ) sheartests were conducted toinvestigate the shear strength of the SLJbonded with different volume fractionsof TEEP. For this purpose, the eggshells were dried and crushed into particles of size 150μm. The volume fraction of eggshell powder in the epoxy resin is 0%, 2.5%, 5%, and 10% by epoxy weight. The epoxy resin system was made of EPIKOTE Resin 828 and Hardener 651 with a mixing ratio of 5:2 by weight.The results show that the shearstrength greatly depended upon overlap lengthand filler volume fractions.The improvement was up to 72.7% and 39.9%,with the longest overlap length and 5% TEEP fraction.Hence, an overlap length of 38.1 mm and a 5% eggshell volume fraction gave the optimum shear strength of 5.045 kN.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Integrated Engineering (IJIE) is a single blind peer reviewed journal which publishes 3 times a year since 2009. The journal is dedicated to various issues focusing on 3 different fields which are:- Civil and Environmental Engineering. Original contributions for civil and environmental engineering related practices will be publishing under this category and as the nucleus of the journal contents. The journal publishes a wide range of research and application papers which describe laboratory and numerical investigations or report on full scale projects. Electrical and Electronic Engineering. It stands as a international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the electrical and electronic engineering. The journal aims to present to the international community important results of work in this field, whether in the form of research, development, application or design. Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering. It is a platform for the publication and dissemination of original work which contributes to the understanding of the main disciplines underpinning the mechanical, materials and manufacturing engineering. Original contributions giving insight into engineering practices related to mechanical, materials and manufacturing engineering form the core of the journal contents.
