Due to application-specific tailoring, continuous fiber reinforced plastics (CoFRP) provide an
exceptional lightweight potential and are particularly suited for structural components. The …

Carbon fibres and their composites are well known for their excellent tensile properties and
light weight characteristics which, amongst other advantages continues to drive demand …

Abstract Poly-ether-ketone-ketone (PEKK) is an emerging alternative to poly-ether-ether-
ketone (PEEK) as a matrix for high-performance carbon fibre (CF) reinforced composites …

As a weight-reducing material in aerospace applications, carbon fiber reinforced polymer
(CFRP) requires precision grinding to ensure the accuracy and assembly of mating …

In this study, the hybrid glass/carbon composite bumper beam was designed and
manufactured via the design optimization process combined with the impact analysis. The …

The objective of this work is the characterization and the assessment of the damage in
CFRP composite laminates with different stacking sequences subjected to low velocity …

Machining of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) still represents a significant challenge
due to its anisotropic material structure and brittle fracture behaviour. The material causes …

Parallel strand bamboo (PSB) is a high strength and transversely isotropic biocomposite
composed of long narrow bamboo strands adhesively bonded under high pressure, which …

The interaction between fiber kink banding and splitting in the compressive response of fiber
composites is investigated by adopting a micromechanics based 2D finite element …

The present study examines how wrinkles affect a composite material's compressive failure
behavior. Uni-directional carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (UD-CFRP) composites with …
