Multi-scale characterization and modeling of notched strength and translaminar fracture in hybrid thin-ply composites based on different carbon fiber grades

Guillaume Clément Broggi

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 ...

Thermophysical and thermomechanical properties of basalt-phenolic FRP rebars under high temperature

Thomas Keller, Hongwei Zhu, Ting Li, Jiahui Shen

An experimental investigation was conducted on the thermophysical and thermomechanical properties of phenolic-basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (P-BFRP) rebars subjected to high temperature. As a comparison, vinylBFRP (V-BFRP) and epoxy-BFRP (E-BFRP) rebars ...

A comparative study of mode I delamination behavior of unidirectional glass fiber-reinforced polymers with epoxy and polyurethane matrices using two methods

John Botsis, Georgios Pappas

The mode I delamination behavior of a unidirectional glass-fiber reinforced polymer with a prototype elasto-plastic polyurethane matrix (GF/PU) was investigated and compared with that of glass/epoxy (GF/EP) using double cantilever beam specimens. Fracture ...

Micro-mechanical finite element modeling for in-plane behavior of historical masonry

Shenghan Zhang

Seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry structures remains a challenge. This dissertation investigates the in-plane behavior of historical masonry elements and proposes an advanced simulation method based on the cohesive zone model (CZM) in a finite ele ...
