Thermoset fiber reinforced composites, widely used in current structural applications, have
complex repair procedures and generates significant amounts of scrap due to its recycling …

In recent years, flexible composites have received wide attention for their unique properties,
such as large deformation, lightness, and fatigue resistance. By blending the appropriate …

Impact resistance and damage tolerance are of great significance in the design of composite
structures. This study investigated the damage and failure mechanism of thin composite …

Kevlar fibres have been widely used as impact-resistant reinforcement in composite
materials. The paper studies the impact behaviour as well as damage tolerance of …

This paper presents a damage analysis process of composite laminates subjected to low-
velocity impact. Drop weight tests were carried out on specimens with two kinds of stacking …

Composite structures can be exposed to a range of corrosive environments during their in-
service life, which causes degradation in terms of material properties. The effect of alkaline …

Composites are materials of choice for lightweight structures due to their excellent
strength/weight/and stiffness/weight/properties. For several years, the application of …

This paper investigates the impact dynamics of thin semicylindrical woven composite
laminate shells, with a particular focus on understanding the influence of thickness. Utilizing …

Kevlar fibres have been widely used as impact-resistant reinforcement in composite
materials. However, there are very few works about the effects of nanoclays on the impact …

Drop-weight impact response of hybrid woven composite plates was studied. Hybrid S2
glass-IM7 graphite fibers/toughened epoxy composites with two lay-up arrangements were …
