The tensile properties of three carbon matrix composites reinforced with SiC (Nicalon) fibers (materials A, B, C) have been measured with and without notches. One of the three materials (material B) had a relatively low strength and exhibited notch brittle ...
In automotive engineering, the main load bearing structure (Body-in-White, BIW) has traditionally been manufactured using metals such as steel and light alloys. In order to satisfy upcoming European regulations on CO2 emissions, considerable weight reducti ...
Metal matrix composites are known for their excellent specific mechanical properties. Nevertheless, because of the thermal expansion mismatch between the matrix and the reinforcements, thermal stresses arise at the interfaces of such materials. In order to ...
Liquid composite moulding of Lactam 12 monomer and activating system (APLC12) into satin weave carbon fabrics is investigated, with emphasis on minimising the void content in the final part. The main sources for void formation are identified. The solidific ...
A moulding process, in particular a bladder inflation moulding process for the production of a composite material based part, said composite material comprising a polymer matrix and reinforcing fibres, wherein at least a portion of external surface of said ...
The invention is concerned with an integrated process for the manufacture of polymer and/or composite products, comprising the integration of processing operations to achieve a plurality of material conversion steps, such as impregnation, consolidation and ...
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 ...
An analytic model for predicting the tensile strength of uniaxial fiber-reinforced composites is applied to several different graphite-fiber composites and shows good agreement with measured strengths. The model includes the effects of fiber statistical st ...
The dimensional stability of V-shaped composite parts made from polyamide-12/carbon fibre (PA12/CF) commingled yarn has been studied. An anisotropic, thermoviscoelastic material model was implemented in a finite element solver to predict the internal stres ...
The effect of processing-induced fiber damage, or equivalently the effect of fiber length in discontinuously-reinforced composites, on the tensile stress-strain behavior of a fiber-reinforced ceramic or metal matrix is determined as a function of the exten ...
