As the range of applications for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials in civil engineering constantly increases, there is more and more concern with regard to their performance in critical environments. The fire behavior of composite material ...
The aim of this thesis is to assess the feasibility of integrating nanoparticles into glass fiber (GF) reinforced isotactic polypropylene (iPP) composites via existing thermoplastic processing routes, and to investigate whether this results in significant ...
A partially embedded long fibre-Bragg grating (FBG) into an epoxy cylindrical specimen is used to monitor the strain distribution evolution along its axis when subjected to subsequent cycles of thermal ageing at 70 and 110 degrees C. Assuming a total volum ...
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 ...
Analytical and numerical electro-mechanical models are developed to predict the electrical resistance change due to fatigue damage in unidirectional fiber reinforced composite materials. Fatigue is attributed to underlying fatigue crack growth of pre-exist ...
The single-fiber composite (SFC) has been widely used to quantify fiber strength and fiber-matrix interfacial properties of fiber-reinforced composites. Here, a numerical model with an embedded-process-zone model to permit both interface debonding and matr ...
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) are inherently multifunctional materials that, in addition to their primary function as a structural material, allow for the sensing and monitoring of in situ damage nucleation and evolution by the measure ...
The statistical strength distribution of Carborundum polycrystalline SiC fibers was derived from the fragmentation process in a single fiber/epoxy composite. We conducted Monte Carlo simulations of the fragmentation process using an elastic-plastic hardeni ...
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 ...
