Thermoplastic composites can enable the development of new manufacturing techniques to
make the aviation industry more sustainable while at the same time greatly benefit cost …

Recently, there has been a renewed interest in thermoplastic composites driven mainly by
advances in automation which can lead to significant cost reductions by increasing …

The aim of this work was to characterize the interlaminar fracture toughness of poplar
laminate veneer lumbers (LVL) under mode II loading. To this end, the Four-point End …

This paper is devoted to the study of different aspects of rate effects in the case of
delamination. Two rate dependent cohesive zone models are compared for which the shear …

This study investigates the impact response of thermoplastic composite materials. The
material system under consideration is a carbon fiber reinforced low melt semi-crystalline …

Characterization of the failure behaviour of materials is an important factor to consider in the
design of structures to better understand various failure scenarios during application …

Because of their specific mechanical properties, composite materials are increasingly used
in marine environment. A recent application is the propeller blade. Compared to historical …

This work investigates the response of a thermoplastic panel under high energy ballistic
