Fibrous composites have found applications in aircraft from the first flight of the Wright
Brothers' Flyer 1, in North Carolina on December 17, 1903, to the plethora of uses now …

Failure process of composite laminate under quasi-static or fatigue loading involves
sequential accumulation of intra-and interlaminar damage. Matrix cracking parallel to the …

In this paper, the impact damage of composite laminates in the form of intra-and inter-
laminar cracking was modelled using stress-based criteria for damage initiation, and fracture …

The fatigue mechanisms of Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) used in wind turbine
blades were examined using computed tomography (CT). Prior to mechanical testing, as …

To minimize the carbon production from the cement industry, geopolymers are the suitable
replacement cementitious materials in concrete structures. Furthermore, glass fiber …

This paper discusses the topic of how the integrity of safety-critical structural composites can
be enhanced by the use of structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques. The paper starts …

Carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been increasingly used by
aerospace and other industries for their high specific stiffness and strength properties. When …

A constitutive model to predict stiffness reduction due to transverse matrix cracking is
derived for laminae with arbitrary orientation, subject to in-plane stress, embedded in …

The strain and damage self-sensing properties of carbon nanofibers (CNFs)/flax fiber-
reinforced polymer (FFRP) laminates under tension were investigated via simultaneously …

High-cycle fatigue features of over 108 cycles, particularly the initiation and propagation of
edge delamination considering the effects of transverse cracks, were investigated using …
