Bridging by intact fibers is an important toughening mechanism in composite materials. However, a direct experimental evaluation of its contribution is difficult to achieve and in the case of large scale bridging the thickness, h, may have an important inf ...
Structured hierarchical catalysts were developed for efficient reduction of bromates in water. In the catalysts a small amount of active metal, 0.3 wt.% Pd, is supported onto carbon nanofibres grown either on sintered metal fibres or on a carbon cloth. In ...
Fiber bridging is regularly encountered in model delamination tests of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites. However, characterization of the bridging tractions is rather difficult. One way to indirectly evaluate the bridging traction distribution is ...
The fracture behavior of adhesively-bonded pultruded joints was experimentally investigated under Mode I loading using double cantilever beam specimens. The pultruded adherends comprised two mat layers on each side with a roving layer in the middle. An epo ...
Carbon nanofibres (CNFs) were grown on different macrostructured supports such as cordierite monoliths, carbon felts and sintered metal fibres. The resulting composites exhibited excellent resistance to attrition/corrosion and its porosity is mainly due to ...
Nowadays, composite materials are increasingly used in high technology fields such as aerospace and automotive because of the combination of excellent mechanical performance and lightweight. For these characteristics, classical metal alloys are progressive ...
Over the past decades the use of composite materials has enormously increased, especially in the aeronautical, automotive, and energy production industries. These materials allow to build lighter and larger structures which are more efficient. However, by ...
Hygro-thermal ageing of composite materials introduces a modification in the material properties of its constituents and the development of stresses that can lead to severe local damage like fracture of the reinforcing fibers and de-bonding of the latter f ...

The behaviour of brittle matrix fibre reinforced-composites is dependent of the properties of its constituents (fibre, matrix and fibre-matrix interface) and is affected by the mechanical and environmental loads. The fracture of a unidirectional composite ...
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly used in many load-bearing
structures. Joints are the most critical structural elements as they often become the weak links
in engineering structures. Bonding and bolting are two of the main joini ...
