Two-dimensional quasi-static delamination in composite laminates under Mode-I and Mode-II conditions
Fiber-polymer composites consist of a polymer matrix and reinforcing fibers made of various materials. These composites exhibit exceptional properties, such as a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance, which has led to their incre ...
EPFL2024Real-time Personalized Monitoring of Neurological Disorders on Wearable Systems
The terminology of neurological disorders encompasses a range of serious illnesses (e.g., epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease) leading to morbidity, disability, and stigma. Epilepsy alone affects over 50 million people worldwide, and these figures are rising as ...
EPFL2023CRACK SHIELDING MECHANISMS OF INTERLAYERED EPOXY MATERIALS UNDER QUASI-STATIC AND FATIGUE LOADING
Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Dharun Vadugappatty Srinivasan
This research explores the capability of PEI and PVDF thermoplastic interlayers to arrest cracks in epoxy materials modified with short-glass fibers and core-shell rubber particles. It also investigates the effect of interlayer position, the number of inte ...
Queen's University Belfast2023Supramolecular Modifications of Semicrystalline Polymers
Supramolecular interactions play an important role in defining the structure and the resulting mechanical properties of materials. For instance, interchain hydrogen-bonding in PAs gives them superior strength and stiffness in engineering materials, while t ...
EPFL2023Process development of pre-impregnated hybrid thin-ply composites
Thin-ply composites, obtained with recently developed fiber spreading techniques, rapidly gained industrial interest because they offer a large composite design freedom, and lead to a composite tensile strength that is close to that of the individual fiber ...
EPFL2023Influence of Fiber Orientation on the Elastic Limit Tensile Stress of UHPFRC
Eugen Brühwiler, Emmanuel Denarié, Jian Zhan
The elastic limit tensile stress of UHPFRC is governed by contributions of the cementitious matrix and the fibrous skeleton. This paper finds that fiber orientation has significant influence on the matrix tensile strength of UHPFRC, while this is not consi ...
2023Multi-scale characterization and modeling of notched strength and translaminar fracture in hybrid thin-ply composites based on different carbon fiber grades
Owing to their high specific stiffness and strength, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites (CFRP) are ideal candidates for the development of lightweight high-performance structures. Within this family, thin-ply composites allow for wider design freedom and p ...
EPFL2023Fatigue behavior and life prediction of wind turbine blade composite materials
Fatigue life prediction of wind turbine rotor blades is a very challenging task, as their failure is led by different failure types that act synergistically. Inherent defects like wrinkles, fiber misalignments, and voids that can be introduced during fabri ...
Woodhead Publishing (Elsevier)2023ETFE and its Role in the Fabrication of Lightweight c-Si Solar Modules
Christophe Ballif, Fabiana Lisco
Glass-free, lightweight, photovoltaic modules have the potential to enable new uses of solar in building integrated and vehicle integrated applications. Glass-free modules have the advantages of reduced weight, lower-cost mounting solutions, and reduced tr ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2023Modelisation of fiber reinforced DEAs
The aim of this "Face Reconstruction" project is to enable people with paralysis in one half of their face to recover facial expressions. To do this, we’ll replace the paralyzed muscle with an DEA which we’ll connect to the nerve on the other side of the f ...
