Modeling of Time-Dependent Inelastic Deformation of CFRP Laminates.

Impact Damage Detection of Toughened CFRP Laminates with Time Domain

Laminated Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites are very effective in weight saving in aeronautical structural components. For these laminated CFRP structures, it is, however, difficult to detect damage such as delamination, matrix cracks, and local fiber breakages caused by low velocity impact loading In the previous study in 2009, Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) method was applied...

Electromagnetic Shielding Property of Cfrp Composite Laminates

Modeling the Time-Dependent Rheological Properties of Pistachio Butter

Pistachio butter (semi solid paste), which is made from roasted pistachio kernels, is an appropriate alternative to work on because of its high nutritional and economical values. In this study, timedependent flow properties of pistachio butter were determined at two different temperatures (25˚C and 45˚C) for five different formulations (with different levels of emulsifying agents). Forward a...

Strength and Modulus Degradation of CFRP Laminates from Fiber Misalignment

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates are being used as external reinforcement for strengthening concrete members. The performance of unidirectional FRP laminates is highly dependent on fiber orientation with respect to applied load direction. In the case of fabrication by manual lay-up, it is possible to have fiber plies installed with improper orientation. In this project, the degradation ...

Compression Fracture of CFRP Laminates Containing Stress Intensifications

For brittle fracture behaviour of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) under compression, several approaches exist, which describe different mechanisms during failure, especially at stress intensifications. The failure process is not only initiated by the buckling fibres, but a shear driven fibre compressive failure beneficiaries or initiates the formation of fibres into a kink-band. Startin...
