Pre-folded tubes can exhibit superior energy absorption characteristics under axial crushing compared to conventional straight-walled tubes. However, their construction can be difficult …
Abstract Failure processes in Laminated Fiber-Reinforced Composites (LFRCs) entail the development and progression of different physical mechanisms and, in particular, the …
Abstract Design of large composite structures requires understanding the scaling of their mechanical properties, an aspect often overlooked in the literature on composites. This …

In this study, the effects of prepreg out time on the mechanical and fracture properties of Discontinuous Fiber Composites (DFCs) are investigated. Carbon fiber prepregs are aged to …
This work investigates the mode I and II interlaminar fracturing behavior of laminated composites and the related size effects. Fracture tests on geometrically scaled double …
For several decades it has been clear that the size effect on structural strength, exhibiting a major non-statistical component, is a quintessential property of all quasibrittle materials …
Abstract Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) have been widely used in different civil engineering applications to enhance the performance of concrete structures through …
