Method of modeling and prototyping terminal connectors for testing and obtaining prestressing FRP reinforcement

Abstract

The paper presents the possibility of using the technique of rapid prototyping, 3D printing method based on additive technologies. The resulting product, according to the three-dimensional construction of production technology, allows obtaining the characteristics of the stress and deformed state, as well as navigating to the characteristics of natural products, as model can be manufactured as a plastic or fiberglass one.The use of modeling method has become a characteristic feature of science. In view of this fact, it seems appropriate to consider the problem of the relationship of this method and various sciences in order to find the most adequate, objective and reliable foundation of scientific research. The paper presents the possibility of applying a fiberglass reinforcement in prestressed structures.
