Digital image and volume correlation (DIC and DVC) are increasingly being used to
measure the deformation and damage behaviour of composite materials. The …

High packaging efficient lightweight jointless deployable folding structures are nowadays
fabricated from combination of rigid and thin flexible elastic hinges using fiber reinforced …

A detailed understanding of the interlaminar fracture, intralaminar fracture, and translaminar
fracture progression of GFRP was studied using a complex Arcan fixture. A loading angle of …

Metallic foams exhibit great application prospects in some extreme working conditions such
as high temperatures and/or high-velocity impact environments, but predominantly, their …

The primary concern of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) subjected to seawater environment
is losing their initial mechanical performance since water can diffuse into the composite and …

This work presents the application of both uniaxial and bi-axial in-plane loads to
unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer laminates using a newly developed Arcan …

Graphene-based nanomaterials have found significant interest in the development of
embedded sensors to monitor the fracture behavior in composite structures. In this work, in …

Woven thermoplastic composites are attractive to manufacturers due to their thermo-
formability, but limitations in predicting complex failure behaviour still hinder widespread …

Cord-rubber materials are used in crucial components of rail vehicles, such as air spring
bellows in secondary suspension. A detailed understanding of the material behaviour of …

The complexity of biaxial tests and analysis of their results makes it difficult to study the
interlaminar shear properties of fibre-reinforced composites, particularly under through …
