Hybrid composites become popular and are today used in a large number of contemporary
structural applications. When compared to non-hybrid composites, hybridization offers …

Hybrid composites are increasingly attractive for advanced engineering applications. In this
study, the open-hole tensile (OHT) properties and failure mechanism of plain woven carbon …

Carbon-fiber composite (CFRP) patching has been widely used to strengthen the open-hole
structure, but limited by low adhesive bonding properties. Thus, micro/nanofillers-modified …

Multi-scale analysis is of great interest to calculate the final response of hybrid textile-
reinforced carbon/glass epoxy (TRCG) composites based on micromechanical tests and …

Composites have gained wide use in structural applications; however, they are sensitive to
impact damage. The use of hybrid composites is an effective way to overcome this …

The present work aims to improve the mechanical properties of Epocast 50-A1/946 epoxy
via incorporation of alumina nanoparticles using an ultrasonic agitation method. The …

Natural fibres taken from a bark of hibiscus tiliaceus, which is well known in local words as
waru fibre (WF) is used as reinforcement of the bisphenol-waru fibre composite (B-WF). The …

This study is based on research into the effect of accelerated environmental aging (alternate
cycles of UV radiation and moisture, hot steam) in two polymer composite laminates …

Advanced fiber-reinforced polymer composites are stronger, durable and lighter than their
metallic counterparts. Inter-ply hybrid polymer composites are formed by more than one type …

This study investigates the rapid mandible strike behavior of trap‐jaw ants (Odontomachus
monticola), a highly aggressive species of terrestrial social organisms. An impact‐resistant …
