Abstract
This study presents research regarding the calculation of the mechanical characteristics of composite polymeric materials. By using LabVIEW’ software a virtual instrument was created used for monitoring in real time the process of cross-linking the composite polymeric materials. The experiments were realized based on composite materials containing epoxy/fiberglass resin of different topologies. By means of the virtual instrument and of a sensor created based on the mechanical impedance analysis, implanted in the composite material, it was determined the G shearing module of the composite material at different temperatures.
Keywords: composite polymeric materials; shearing module; sensor; virtual instrument
