Despite the key advantages of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites, they are
susceptible to Barely Visible Impact Damage (BVID) under transverse loadings. This study …

Damage characterization of laminated composites has been thoroughly studied the last
decades where researchers developed several damage models, and in combination with …

Acoustic emission (AE) has good potential to characterize failure mechanisms in laminated
composite materials. One of the difficult issues using this method can be to establish a good …

Acoustic emission (AE) analyses have been performed on a high compliance, high failure
strain randomly oriented carbon reinforced glass matrix composite. The composite exhibits a …

The present paper focuses on the detection of dominant damage mechanisms in tensile
loading of laminated composite specimens subjected to low-velocity impact (LVI) using …

The use of fibre-reinforced plastics (FRPs) in various industrial applications continues to
increase thanks to their good strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance, as well as the …

This study is devoted to the damage characterization of Non-Crimp Fabric (NCF), 2D plain-
woven (2D-PW) and 3D orthogonal plain-woven (ORT-PW) carbon/epoxy laminates …

This study aims to use the passive and active acoustic-based health monitoring methods for
impact damage assessment of composite structures. To this aim, a Carbon Fiber Reinforced …

In this study, experimental and numerical approaches based on the nonlinear ultrasonic
Lamb wave are used to detect the barely visible impact damages (BVID) in orthotropic CFRP …

This paper focuses on the experimental investigation of impact damage resistance in hybrid
composite laminates. In this case, the low velocity impact behaviour of quasi-isotropic …
