Within this paper, extended researches have been carried out regarding the mechanical behavior of a 4 mm thick nonwoven polyester mat subjected to three-point bend tests. From a sheet of nonwoven polyester mat impregnated with a thin layer of polyester resin just to be handled after curing, eighteen specimens have been cut according to ISO 14125:1998 – “Fibre-reinforced plastic composites – Determination of flexural properties” and subjected to three-point bend tests on a TEXTURE ANALYSER materials testing machine from Lloyd Instruments. Load-extension, stress-strain as well as other important distributions have been generated using the materials testing machine software NEXYGEN Plus. Some failure modes of the broken specimens have been put into evidence especially in side views. This material presents an outstanding resin absorption capability increasing the general stiffness of a structure..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
