X-ray computed tomography scans can provide detailed information about the state of the
material after manufacture and in service. X-ray computed tomography aided engineering …

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) are becoming increasingly widespread in safety-critical
components, eg, in rotor blades of wind turbines, due to their excellent lightweight potential …

Pultrusion manufacturing of fiber reinforced polymers has been shown to yield some of the
highest mechanical properties for unidirectional composites, having a high degree of fiber …

This work explores a type of composite called thermoplastic polymer-fiber-reinforced
polymers (PFRPs), often referred to as self-reinforced composites (SRCs). A representative …

Cure-induced deformations are inevitable in pultruded composite profiles due to the
peculiarities of the pultrusion process and usually require the use of costly shimming …

Short glass fibre injection moulded composites, used in interior and exterior automotive
parts, are exposed to complex stress states, for example during a crash. As the fibre scale …

The study aims to improve the performance of thermoacoustic engines and heat pumps.
These devices are a promising solution to rising energy demand since they work with low …

Fiber wrinkling-induced beam deviation and wave attenuation in thick carbon fiber
