The Influence of SiO2 nanoparticles and rubber micro-fillers on the mechanical and thermal responses of an epoxy based composite is investigated using classical quantitative thermo-mechanical testing (tensile tests DMTA TMA) microstructural analysis (Micro ...
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 ...
The uncertainty of the crack tip position inside composite coupons during a delamination test under variable fracture mode conditions reduces the accuracy of the experimental results. In this work a method is presented where the crack tip position is locat ...
This paper presents a new composite material, which is developed by mixing calcium alginate spheres with commercially available epoxies Stycas 2850 FT (s2850) and Stycast W19 (W19). The resulting composite material is examined in terms of transmission and ...
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 ...
Being good structural replacement for other conventional material, the pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles are being increasingly used in civil engineering structures. The connection between components is considered the most suspect ar ...
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 ...
The fracture behavior of adhesively-bonded structural joints under tensile constant amplitude fatigue has been investigated. Double-lap joints (DLJs) and stepped-lap joints (SLJs) composed of pultruded GFRP laminates and an epoxy adhesive were examined. Bo ...
This work addresses the development of composite materials that contain metallic load-bearing cords with the aim of combining outstanding mechanical performance with added functionality, including electrical conductivity, data transmission, and temperature ...
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 ...
