The application of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables to voltage sourced converter (VSC)-based high direct current (HVDC) systems has already been technically verified and become common, thermoplastic (TP) is attracting attention as an insulation material for next-generation due the recent development material-related technologies. However, studies related TP are mainly focused on improvin...

Abstract In this work, we present an experimental analysis and a numerical optimization study for the material parameter identification of impact attenuator made brand new All-PP thermoplastic composite subjected to axial load. After characterization material, Finite Element (FE) model is created simulated using LS-DYNA explicit software. Subsequently, in order capture force-displacement trend ...

The possibility of assembling through welding is one of the major features of thermoplastic composites and it positively contributes to their cost-effectiveness in manufacturing. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of ultrasonic, induction and resistance welding of individual CF/PPS thermoplastic composite samples that comprises an analysis of the static and dynamic mechanical behaviou...
