Polymers and polymer composites are negatively impacted by environmental ageing,
reducing their service lifetimes. The uncertainty of the material interaction with the …

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

This paper presents a complete procedure for the non-destructive analysis of composite
laminates, taking advantage of the step-heating infrared thermography and the latest …

Fatigue of structural adhesives has been investigated through joints and a little number of
works investigate bulk adhesive behaviour itself. Aerospace and automotive engineering …

Examining response of natural fibre composites (NFC) under cyclic loading is essential to
encourage confidence in their mechanical durability. Considerable variation exists amongst …

The object of this research is to demonstrate that the composite materials can replace the
classic ones (for example steel) used to produce the structural mechanical components. The …

A comprehensive fatigue analysis framework for composite wind turbine blades has been
developed. It includes variable wind loads from wind field simulation and aerodynamic …

In this paper, the evolution of elastic–plastic damage in the composite laminates under
fatigue conditions is modeled. Continuum damage mechanics (CDM) has been coupled with …

The stiffness degradation of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has significant effects on its
fatigue life and reliability. In this study, the inherent correlation between stiffness degradation …

This paper studies the low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of glass fiber-reinforced polymer
(GFRP) reinforced concrete (RC) beams by utilizing experimental and analytical …
