Fatigue behavior and life prediction of wind turbine blade composite materials

Anastasios Vassilopoulos

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 ...

Effect of wettability and textile architecture on fluid displacement and pore formation during infiltration of carbon fibrous preforms

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Helena Luisa Teixido Pedarros

We seek to address how air entrapment mechanisms during infiltration are influenced by the wetting characteristics of the fluid and the pore network formed by the reinforcement. To this end, we evaluated the behavior of two model fluids with different surf ...

Dielectric properties of 3-3 flexible composites by infiltration of elastomers into porous ceramic structures using cellulose scaffold

Thomas Geiger

Elastomer composites are prepared by infiltrating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) into a porous ceramic structure of nanoparticles. This method differs from the conventional approach, where particles are dispersed into the polymer matrix, since here, the polym ...

Cyclic Behaviour of Unidirectional Hybrid Interlayer Glass/Carbon and Carbon/Carbon Composites

Anastasios Vassilopoulos, José Manuel de Sena Cruz

The lack of ductility is a major drawback of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials. As it is known, these materials are stiff and strong, but brittle with little or no warning before final failure. In the last decades, some solutions have been proposed ...
