The application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is continuously increasing due
to their superior mechanical properties and the associated weight advantage. However, they …

In recent years, maintenance work on public transport routes has drastically decreased in
many countries due to difficult economic situations. The various studies that have been …

In this paper, an automated crack detection method for laminated composites of carbon fiber
reinforced polymers (CFRP) is presented. Image correlation is performed on micrographs of …

Quantifying microscopic damage mechanisms in opaque composite laminates with multiple
off-axis plies throughout fatigue experiments is challenging. However, if successful …

Degradations of torsional behavior is a key issue to the evaluation of the 3-D braided tubes
in thermal-oxidizing environment for a long-term service. Here we report the effect of thermal …

Delamination induced by ply cracking is an important damage mechanism that results in
stress redistribution and degrades both the in-plane and out-of-plane laminate properties. In …

To evaluate non-destructive methods for the characterization of highly-filled wood-plastic
composites (WPCs), current work investigates the damage and crack propagation of highly …

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been triumphantly applied for the manufacture of
various composite components. In this work, acoustic emission (AE), X-ray micro-computed …

In-situ fatigue damage quantification in non-transparent thermoplastic composites is
cumbersome, however, it provides vital information for developing reliable fatigue damage …

Surface crack on teeth is a manifestation of structural damage, severely impacting
individuals' health and quality of life. Inspired by the achievement of 3-D computer vision …
