A successful exploitation of nanocomposite materials founds on the development of models
capable of predicting the macroscopic mechanical behaviour as a function of the …

Engineering structures are often subjected to fluctuating loads, which onset materials'
fatigue and deleteriously affect their service life. This becomes crucial for fiber reinforced …

Epoxy nanocomposites reinforced with recycled cellulose fibres (RCFs) and organoclay
platelets (30B) have been fabricated and investigated in terms of WAXS, TEM, mechanical …

Fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) are being increasingly used for a wide range of
engineering applications owing to their high specific strength and stiffness. However, their …

This study explores the effects of 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (3-GPTS) modified Na-
montmorillonite (Na-Mt) nanoclay addition on mechanical response of unidirectional basalt …

The effects of nanoclay inclusion on cyclic fatigue behavior and residual properties of
carbon fiber-reinforced composites (CFRPs) after fatigue have been studied. The tension …

Nanoparticle reinforcement of the matrix in laminates has been recently explored to improve
mechanical properties, particularly the interlaminar strength. This study analyses the fatigue …

This paper deals with experimental and numerical investigations into the impactor shape
effects on the low velocity impact behavior of 3D woven composites. The samples were …

Epoxy hybrid‐nanocomposites reinforced with recycled cellulose fibers (RCF) and halloysite
nanotubes (HNTs) have been fabricated and investigated. The dispersion of HNTs was …

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites generally have a layered architecture and are
commonly manufactured with thermosetting resins—making them susceptible to interlaminar …
