Recycled Glass Fiber Composites from Wind Turbine Waste for 3D Printing Feedstock: Effects of Fiber Content and Interface on Mechanical Performance

Rodolphe Henri, Kazem Fayazbakhsh

This research validates the viability of a recycling and reusing process for end-of-life glass fiber reinforced wind turbine blades. Short glass fibers from scrap turbine blades are reclaimed and mixed with polylactic acid (PLA) through a double extrusion ...

The potential of textile reinforced concrete for design of innovative structures

Aurelio Muttoni, Patricia Guaita, Raffael Baur, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Patrick Lorenzo Valeri

Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a recent evolution of ordinary reinforced concrete. This relatively new construction material replaces steel reinforcement with high-strength, non-corrosive textile fabrics in order to reduce cover requirements to minim ...

A generic non-linear bond-slip model for CFRP composites bonded to concrete substrate using EBR and EBROG techniques

Ardalan Hosseini

In this study, a generic bond-slip model is proposed for carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement bonded to concrete substrate. The model is applicable to concrete members strengthened by the conventional externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) t ...

Large Brillouin Interaction in Hollow Core Fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Flavien Gyger

Brillouin gain is observed in hollow core fibers filled by standard gases at high pressure. This enables all interactions based on stimulated Brillouin scattering to be realized in hollow core fibers, such as amplification, optical signal processing and di ...

Two-dimensional quasi-static debonding in GFRP/balsa sandwich panels

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Aida Cameselle Molares

The two-dimensional (2D) debonding behavior of GFRP/balsa sandwich panels presenting embedded circular disbonds at the face sheet/core interface was experimentally investigated. The bottom of the panels was fixed and out-of-plane quasi-static tensile loads ...
