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 ...
An active fire protection system, liquid-cooling, was applied to pultruded GFRP tubes subjected to combined thermal and mechanical loading in order to maintain material temperature below the critical glass transition temperature. The use of an appropriate ...
A model for predicting composite material strength degradation under elevated and high temperatures is proposed. This model is based on the morphology of the mixture of materials in different states. The degradation of resin-dominated shear strength can be ...
We employed the bisthienothiophene conjugated linker along with a hydrophobic triphenylamine electron-donor and a hydrophilic cyanoacrylic acid electron-acceptor to construct a high molar extinction coefficient organic photosensitizer, exhibiting a power c ...
Axial compression experiments were conducted on pultruded E-glass fiber-reinforced polymer laminates of different slenderness. Second-order deformations greatly increased the bending moments and shear forces of slender specimens. Delamination failure occur ...
A thermomechanical model is presented for predicting the time-dependent deflections of cellular FRP slab elements subjected to mechanical loading and fire from one side. The model comprises temperature-dependent mechanical property sub-models for the Young ...
When structural elements are subjected to compressive loads, the shear forces and stresses induced by second- order effects may lead to shear failure prior to compressive failure. This is particularly likely to occur in the case of pultruded glass fiber-re ...
Temperature dependence of physical and mechanical properties is considered in most thermal and mechanical response models for composite materials. Based on thermogravimetry analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and dynamic mechanical analysis conduc ...
We systematically studied the temperature-dependent physicochemical properties, such as density, conductivity, and fluidity, of 1,3-dialkylimidazolium iodides. In combination with the amphiphilic Z907Na sensitizer, we have found that it is important to use ...
