Engineering structures are often subjected to the conditions of cyclic-loading, which onsets
material fatigue, detrimentally affecting the service-life and damage tolerance of components …

Flexible lithium‐based batteries (FLBs) enable the seamless implementation of power
supply to flexible and wearable electronics. They not only enhance the energy capacity by …

Basalt reinforced composites are recently developed materials. These mineral amorphous
fibres are a valid alternative to carbon fibres for their lower cost, and to glass fibres for their …

This paper reviews the processing-structure-property relationships of continuous carbon
fiber polymer-matrix composites, which are important for lightweight structures. Such …

An organomodified surface nanoclay reinforced epoxy glass-fiber composite is evaluated for
properties of mechanical strength, stiffness, ductility and fatigue life, and compared with the …

In recent years the use of composite materials increased in many fields, for example, woven
fabrics are the most used to reinforce the polymeric matrix owing to their high impact …

Composite laminates have been used in the most diverse engineering fields, in which they
are often subject to multi-impacts. Typical examples of these phenomena are found in the …

This article presents the results of a current study on the influence of interlayer
delaminations on the static and fatigue behavior of composite laminates. The composite was …

This study proposes and evaluates the structural integrity of a carbon fiber reinforced
polymer (CFRP) composite containing encapsulated lithium‐ion polymer (Li‐Po) batteries. A …

This paper investigated the effect of moisture ingress on the bending fatigue of laminated
composites. An accelerated testing method was developed to investigate the correlation …
