In this study, two samples of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were synthesized by CVD of acetylene over Fe2Co catalysts supported by CaCO3 using different temperatures. The material produced at 660 °C (MWNT600) shows slightly better performance as evid ...
Mechanical and fracture behaviors of wood are defined by the morphology and mechanical properties of wood fibers and their bonding medium. Parallel orientation of wood fibers makes them the most influential microstructural elements from the mechanical poin ...
Ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFC) is a new class of materials that combine a very strong and dense cementicious matrix with a high fiber content. UHPFC has a very high compressive strength (in the order of 200 MPa) and a relatively l ...
Particle reinforced metal matrix composites are manufactured by high-pressure infiltration. These composites contain roughly 50% by volume of discrete alumina inclusions dispersed homogeneously in a continuous aluminium-based matrix. Three matrices, namely ...
The purpose of this thesis is to characterize internal strains in polymeric materials due to consolidation. In view of this, optical Fiber Bragg Grating sensors are an excellent non-destructive tool for internal strain characterization and damage detection ...
The present work is aimed at assessing the feasibility of integrating thermoplastic polypropylene nanocomposite matrices into conventional fiber-reinforced composites based on hybrid textiles that incorporate both the matrix and glass-fiber yarns, in order ...
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is used in many applications requiring good optical properties, resistance to ageing and resistance to UV irradiation, in spite of its relatively poor mechanical response to impact loading. In order to extend the range of appl ...
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 ...
This paper presents results from studies on the fatigue behavior of pultruded GFRP laminates, adhesively bonded double lap joints composed of laminates, and full-scale adhesively bonded FRP bridge deck and steel girder connections. The studies show that th ...
The influence of the mould material on the build-up of internal stresses during autoclave cure of a unidirectional carbon fibre composite material was investigated using embedded optical fibre Bragg gratings. Four flat moulds (i.e. aluminium, steel, carbon ...
