Abstract 3D printing has evolved as a disruptive technology for fabrication of industrial
components, however due to the intrinsic nature of the process, the mechanical strength of …

Over the last 70 years, pultrusion has matured into an industry-leading process when it
comes to providing high throughput and automated composite manufacture at a competitive …

Pre-consolidated tapes in thermoplastic pultrusion solve the problem of impregnating a
reinforcement with high-viscosity thermoplastic resins. Thermoplastic glass …

As environmental stress is caused by using fossil-based plastics, bamboo fibers (BFs), as
one of the important natural materials, have received more and more attention. However …

In this study, the compressive properties of 3D-printed carbon-fiber-reinforced
thermoplastics (3DP-CFRTPs) were experimentally and analytically investigated. Non-hole …

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are often assessed by measuring void content via
thresholding of optical microscope cross-sectional images, relying on contrast to differentiate …

Shape adaptable structures are desired in many fields of application such as aerospace, soft
robotics, and architecture. Multi-stable structures can enable shape adaptation as they …

In this research, the manufacturing of completely biodegradable composites with a unique
single-step sheet consolidation method was discussed. Layers of unidirectional, coarse twill …

The thermoplastic composites which in the automated tape placement (ATP) process are
directly consolidated and formed in situ. The interlaminar bonding quality of the product is …

Deformation of continuous fibre reinforced plastics during thermally-assisted forming or
joining processes leads to a change of the initial material structure. The load behaviour of …
