Composite panels are widely used as structural members due to their high strength-to-
weight ratio. In order to reduce further weight, cutouts or notches are introduced in these …

Longitudinal tensile failure of unidirectional fibre-reinforced composites remains difficult to
predict accurately. The key underlying mechanism is the tensile failure of individual fibres …

Due to the strong demand for high specific strength materials in society, the production
volume of CFRP is rapidly increasing, while the CFRP waste is simultaneously causing …

Composite materials are used to produce multi-objective structures such as fluid reservoirs,
transmission pipes, heat exchangers, pressure vessels due to high strength and stiffness to …

A micro-scale simulation scheme is developed in this study to evaluate in-situ damage and
strength properties of CFRP laminates with various ply thicknesses. To capture both the …

In this study, damage characterization of thick carbon/glass fiber reinforced hybrid
composites is performed under flexural loading conditions via two non-destructive …

The tensile strengths of unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) were predicted
by using a spring element model that considers the surface stress concentration on fibers …

A multiscale model is developed to comprehensively predict the failure parameters
associated with the elasto-plasticity of a unidirectional carbon-fiber-reinforced composite …

Factors governing the tensile strength of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastic
(CFRP) composites were experimentally investigated by focusing on the mechanical …

The mechanical behaviour of fibre-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) is considered
very complex due to many factors such as composition, material type, manufacturing …
