Usability of Polymer Concrete as a Machine-Making Material Regarding Fatigue Strength

Abstract

In many studies conducted on polymer concretes of different structures, some of the mechanical behaviours such as compression, bending, damping, and fatigue have been investigated. Specimens and experimental taxonomy used in the majority of these studies explore the idea of using polymer concrete either as a construction material or as a material for building the body of machine tools. The experimental methodology and specimens used in this study to investigate the fatigue strength were chosen according to the machine-making material. In “rotational flexural fatigue” experiments conducted using high compressive strength composite materials, fatigue strength values were observed to be lower than previous studies.
