Abstract:

Recently, advances have been made in the design, manufacture and application of composite materials. A great deal of this progress has been made in the field of Fibre-Reinforced-Plastics (FRP). FRP often have greater strength to weight and stiffness to weight ratios than traditional materials such as metals, which makes them ideal for use in many application especially in aeronautical and aerospace sectors. For example Carbon-Fibre-Reinforced-Plastics (CFRP) are becoming more common in civil and military aircraft structures. However, there remain many unanswered questions regarding the behavio

The main objectives of this study were to: (i) improve the flexural properties of the parent composite materials, i.e. E-glass/epoxy and TR50S carbon fibre/epoxy composites, through substitution of stronger fibres, i.e. S2-glass and IM7 carbon fibres, for the fibres of the parent composite materials, and (ii) determine the optimum stacking configurations that pr

Abstract:

Process modeling is becoming a widely-accepted tool to reduce the time, cost, and risk in producing increasingly large and complicated composite structures. Process modeling reduces the need for physical parts, as it is not practical or economical to design and fabricate large composite structures using a trial-and-error approach. The foundation of the composite manufacturing process, and thus of process models, is the thermal history of the composite part during cure. Improperly curing the composite part will compromise its mechanical properties. Consequently, proper validation of the ther

Bio-based flax fiber polymer composites (FFPC) have the potential to replace metals and synthetic fibers in certain applications due to their unique mechanical properties. However, the long term reliability of FFPC needs to be better understood. In this study, the fatigue limit was evaluated using mathematical, thermographic, and energy-based approaches. Each approach determined fatigue limits around 45% load of ultimate tensile strength at a loading frequency of 5 Hz. Thermographic and energy-based approaches were also implemented at different loading frequencies (5, 7, 10, and 15 Hz) to def

Abstract:

The use of fiber reinforced composites for strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) structures has gained great popularity in the last few decades. Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites represent an effective solution for strengthening existing reinforced concrete structures due to their mechanical properties and relatively low cost. FRP composites have been extensively studied, and design codes/recommendation/guidelines are available. One of the most important concerns regarding the use of FRP for strengthening RC structures is the proper design to preclude debonding failure. The bond behav

The background and development of self-healing has been reviewed. The two main self-healing mechanisms are discussed. To date only two part self healing systems have been examined. These require diffusion of the separate constituents to a single location in order to effect cure and restore strength. Single part adhe

Polymer matrix composites (PMCâ s) perform well under many loading conditions and situations. Exposure of PMCâ s to fire is a concern due to their inherent material degradation at elevated temperatures. The elevated temperature response of PMCâ s to combined thermal and mechanical loads are especially of concern. PMC thermal and mechanical properties undergo transformations at elevated temperatures. Some of these effects are reversible if the maximum temperatures are lower than approximately 200ÂºC. The stiffness is significantly reduced at elevated temperatures but if the applied tem

This study focuses on developing novel modeling techniques for fiber-reinforced composites with polymer and ceramic matrix based on Peridynamic approach.

In order to achieve the numerical implementation of the proposed model and approach, a mixed implicit-explicit solver based on GPU parallel computing is developed as well. The new peridynamic

Abstract:

The use of fibre-reinforced polymer matrix composite materials is growing at a faster rate than GDP in many countries. An improved understanding of their processing and mechanical behaviour would extend the potential applications of these materials. For unidirectional composites, it is predicted that localised absence of fibres is related to longitudinal compression failure. The use of woven reinforcements permits more effective manufacture than for unidirectional fibres. It has been demonstrated experimentally that compression strengths of woven composites are reduced when fibres are clustere

Abstract:

As fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites find greater use in markets such as civil infrastructure and ground transportation, the expectations placed on these materials are ever increasing. The overall cost and reliability have become the drivers of these high performance materials and have led to the disappearance of resins such as bismaleimides (BMI), cyanate esters and other high performance polyimides and epoxys. In their place polymers, such polyester and vinylester have arisen. The reinforcing fiber scenario has also undergone changes from the high quality and performance assured
