Sandwich structures fabricated from an aluminium skinned foam enclosed within a carbon fibre reinforced composite structure have the potential application for high-performance on- and off-road automotive vehicles. The deformations failure of these types are presented, results indicate that face sheets with (AF) aids to prevent delamination outer layers polymers (CFRP). load carrying capacity ha...

Abstract A new way of manufacturing continuous fibre-reinforced plastics is the embedding fibres in filament a 3D printer. This method could be used composite materials with thermoplastic matrix containing glass, Kevlar and carbon fibres. paper provides an overview research on mechanical physical properties these parts as well optimisation approaches additively manufactured thermoplastics. Furt...

The paper presents some researches concerning the mechanical properties of composite materials used for prosthetic dental elements. After a short introduction concerning the general strains and loads that usually apply upon prosthetic works, the authors present the virtual model of a molar tooth subjected to the most common actions, using finite element method. Then the results are further show...

Abstract The joint between different lightweight materials plays a significant role in multi-material design of structural components for the automotive industry, aiming to reduce vehicle’s weight without compromising performance or safety. Yet, conventional mechanical joining technologies metals and Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) result either hole being drilled composite material, le...

Retrofitting works are immensely essential for deteriorated and damaged structures in Engineering and Medical fields, in order to keep, or return to, the originality for safe guarding the structures and consumers. In this paper, different types of methods of retrofitting review notes are given based on the experimental, numerical and analytical methods results on strengthening the Reinforced ce...

The introduction of carbon-fibre reinforced plastics in load bearing automotive structures provides a great potential to reduce vehicle weight and fuel consumption. To enable the manufacture and assembly of composite structural parts, reliable and cost-effective joining technologies must be developed. This thesis addresses several aspects of joining and load introduction in carbon-fibre reinfor...

. this paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on shear strength enhancement of reinforced concrete deep beams externally reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (frp) composites. a total of six deep beam specimens of two different classes, as-built (unstrengthened) and retrofitted were tested in the experimental evaluation program. two composite systems namely carbon/epoxy...
