The parameters affecting the packing stress of fiber mats for melt impregnation, resin transfer molding and compression molding are systematically investigated. An analytical equation based on local bending of fibers, which was previously derived for non-i ...
This paper presents the results of an experimental program designed to assess the durability of sisal and coconut fibres exposed to alkaline solutions of calcium and sodium hydroxide. In addition, the durability and microstructure of the cement mortar comp ...
An exact theory is developed to describe the evolution of fibre fragmentation in a single-filament composite test as a function of the underlying fibre statistical strength and fibre/matrix interfacial shear stress, tau. The fragment distribution is a comp ...
A method is presented for studying fibre damage in continuous fibre reinforced composites. It is based on contrasting the transmission of light through intact translucent fibres with the light through fractured or dead-ended fibres. The method is applied i ...
The results of the investigation on durability of vegetable fibre-mortar composites subjected to three different environmental conditions; immersed in water, exposed to the open air weathering and controlled cycles of wetting and drying are presented in th ...
On-site distributed measurements using a sensor based on stimulated Brillouin scattering are presented. Long fibre length can be used, so that a dense 2D or 3D measurement of strain or temperature can be obtained in large structure. ...

This article aims to determine the environmental performance of China reed fibre used as a substitute for glass fibre as reinforcement in plastics and to identify key environmental parameters. A life cycle assessment (LCA) is performed on these two materia ...
Polarization dispersion is one of the effect which can give rise to data rate limitation. An actual optical link can be installed using different appended fibres, manufactured by different producers, processing techniques or batches. Knowing the polarizati ...
