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

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

Each approach determined fatigue limits around 45% load of ultimate tensile strength at a loading frequency of 5 Hz.

Some of these effects are reversible if the maximum temperatures are lower than approximately 200ºC. The stiffness is significantly reduced at elevated temperatures but if the applied tem

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.

The use of woven reinforcements permits more effective manufacture than for unidirectional fibres.
