Experimental Investigation of the Interface Behavior of Balanced and Unbalanced E-Glass/Polyester Woven Fabric Composite LaminatesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 20 - Trang 1111-1123 - 2013
E. Triki, B. Zouari, A. Jarraya, F. Dammak
The aim of this work is to study the influence of weave structure on the crack growth behavior of thick E-glass/polyester woven fabric composites laminates. Two different types of laminates were fabricated: (i) balanced: plain weave (taffetas T)/chopped strand mat weave (M) [T/M]6 and (ii) unbalanced: 4-hardness satin weave (S)/chopped strand mat weave [S/M]7. In order to accurately predict damage...... hiện toàn bộ
Modelling Strategies for Simulating Delamination and Matrix Cracking in Composite LaminatesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 377-403 - 2014
Frederic Lachaud, Christine Espinosa, Laurent Michel, Pierre Rahme, Robert Piquet
The composite materials are nowadays widely used in aeronautical domain. These materials are subjected to different types of loading that can damage a part of the structure. This diminishes the resistance of the structure to failure. In this paper, matrix cracking and delamination propagation in composite laminates are simulated as a part of damage. Two different computational strategies are devel...... hiện toàn bộ
A Study on Flexural Properties of Sandwich Structures with Fiber/Metal Laminate Face SheetsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 20 - Trang 839-855 - 2013
S. Dariushi, M. Sadighi
In this work, a new family of sandwich structures with fiber metal laminate (FML) faces is investigated. FMLs have benefits over both metal and fiber reinforced composites. To investigate the bending properties of sandwich beams with FML faces and compare with similar sandwich beams with fibrous composite faces, 6 groups of specimen with different layer arrangements were made and tested. Results s...... hiện toàn bộ
Fracture Toughness of Hybrid Carbon Fibre/Epoxy Enhanced by Graphene and Carbon NanotubesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 28 - Trang 1111-1125 - 2021

Carbon-based nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention in materials science and engineering fields as they can significantly improve the electro-thermo-mechanical properties of polymer-based materials. With the need of enhancing the mechanical property through the thickness direction of a carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) system, this study investigates the effect of graphene nanopl...... hiện toàn bộ
Developing Test Methods for Compression after Lightning StrikesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 30 - Trang 539-556 - 2023

Research into residual strength after lightning strike is increasing within the literature. However, standard test methods for measuring residual compressive strength after lightning strikes do not exist. For the first time, a systematic experimental study is undertaken to evaluate modifications necessary to standard Compression After Impact (CAI) specimen geometry and test jig design to induce sp...... hiện toàn bộ
Study of Structural Morphology of Hemp Fiber from the Micro to the NanoscaleSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2007
Bei Wang, Mohini Sain, Kristiina Oksman
The focus of this work has been to study how high pressure defibrillation and chemical purification affect the hemp fiber morphology from micro to nanoscale. Microscopy techniques, chemical analysis and X-ray diffraction were used to study the structure and properties of the prepared micro and nanofibers. Microscopy studies showed that the used individualization processes lead to a unique morpholo...... hiện toàn bộ
Carbon Nanotube Based Sensor to Monitor Crack Growth in Cracked Aluminum Structures Underneath Composite PatchingSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 457-473 - 2014
T. M. Olson, Y. W. Kwon, D. C. Hart, D. C. Loup, E. A. Rasmussen
The paper investigates a carbon nanotube-based sensor to detect crack propagation in aluminum structures underneath composite patching. Initial tests are conducted to determine the correct procedure and materials to properly fabricate a carbon nanotube (CNT) based sensor, which is then placed in between a composite patch and the aluminum structure. The CNTs have been utilized as sensors in previou...... hiện toàn bộ
Strength Verification of a Carbon-fibre-reinforced Plastic Patch Used to Repair a Cracked Aluminium Alloy PlateSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-25 - 2023
Guang-Min Luo, Chi-Hong Liang
Aluminium alloy is a commonly used material in the superstructure of naval vessels. This alloy is prone to sensitisation when exposed to the marine environment for an extended period, which leads to the formation of stress corrosion cracks. Because welding is unsuitable for repairing sensitised aluminium alloy with cracks, this study used carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) patches for repair. ...... hiện toàn bộ
