The use of adhesives to bond metallic and composite structural components has increased
substantially over the last decades. The aim of this work is to understand and predict the …

In this study, the interaction of epoxy resin with the glass fiber in the presence of monolayer
glycidoxypropyltrimethoxy silane is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. To …

The electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method was used to deposit polyethylenimine (PEI)
functionalized multiwall carbon nanotube (CNT) films onto the surface of individual S-2 glass …

Quantitative fractography is instrumental in the failure analysis of brittle materials, yet the
methodology is currently only applied to a handful of materials and loading scenarios as the …

Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we develop strain-rate dependent Mode-I
cohesive traction laws for the glass fiber-epoxy interphase as a function of interphase …

In this study, the ballistic impact performance of woven kenaf-Kevlar hybrid and non-hybrid
composites against fragment simulating projectiles (FSPs) was investigated. All the …

Textile-reinforced composites have become increasingly attractive as protection materials
for various applications, including sports. In such applications it is crucial to maintain both …

Prior research has demonstrated that fiber-sizings can be designed to yield composite
materials that simultaneously possess high energy absorption and structural properties. The …

This paper presents a finite element (FE) modeling methodology to simulate and assess the
importance of various factors affecting the failure mechanisms in the microdroplet test used …

A three-dimensional (3D) micromechanical study has been performed in order to investigate
local damage in unidirectional (UD) composite materials with epoxy resin under transverse …
