Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) hybrid composites builds vertically due to the achievement of
custom-made properties with lightweight. However, these materials have finding limitations …

Micromechanical tests are reliable tools to study the failure mechanisms in composites
reinforced with continuous fibers. This paper presents an overview of various analytical …

The overall performance of polymer composites depends on not only the intrinsic properties
of the polymer matrix and inorganic filler but also the quality of interfacial adhesion. Although …

In this work, the effect of ply stacking sequence of carbon/epoxy laminates subjected to
flexural, tensile and impact loading was investigated. Five laminates with different stacking …

The primary concern of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) subjected to seawater environment
is losing their initial mechanical performance since water can diffuse into the composite and …

This paper reports the accelerated thermal ageing behaviors of pure epoxy resin and 3-D
carbon fiber/epoxy braided composites. Specimens have been aged in air at 90° C, 110° C …

Fracture behaviors of thermo-oxidative aged 3D braided composites are significantly
affected by interfacial weakening and matrix degradation. Here we report the impact fracture …

The following paper describes investigations on the impact of harsh environment on shear
and tensile strength of multi-material adhesive joints. The samples were made from carbon …

Most of the composite materials that are used in aerospace structures have been
manufactured using a thermostable matrix, as epoxy resin. The region of stability of these …

Mechanical and dynamic characteristics of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP)
composites were experimentally investigated in terms of natural frequency and damping …
