situations where vacuum chamber for expelling gas bubbles and autoclave equipment …

In recent times, polymer composites have played an epochal role in transforming material
science. Some of their properties such as toughness, strength, flexibility, and rigidity have …

Process induced residual stresses commonly occur in composite structures composed of
dissimilar materials. These residual stresses form due to differences in the composite …

Fiber reinforced polymer composites are frequently used in hybrid structures where they are
co-cured or co-bonded to dissimilar materials. For autoclave cured composites, this interface …

Eight layered symmetric GFRP laminate was prepared by hand layup followed by press
moulding. Samples were prepared according to ASTM D790-17 and were tested at three …
