Composite materials have been widely used in many industries due to their excellent
mechanical properties. It is difficult to analyze the integrity and durability of composite …

A significant increase in existing inspection efforts and the creation of more resilient
structures using built-in sensors and systems is essential for accurate and reliable …

This article presents the mechanical characterization of an eco composite consisting of a
thermoplastic matrix reinforced by flax fibres. Different configurations of specimens were …

Damage propagation in DCB specimens is characterized by Acoustic Emission (AE)
Technique. Signal-based AE data is used to relate the Mechanical Property of the Material …

The complex failure mechanisms that are commonly considered as the distinctive
characteristic of composites are being amenable to nondestructive test advance. This …

Monitoring the mass of liquid absorption in laminated composite structures, that have a
direct contact surface with working liquid-like pipes, is very important in order to prevent the …

The formation of multiple delaminations is a frequently observed damage mechanism in
composite materials, exerting a more pronounced influence on their strength properties …

This study aims to investigate the sequence of initiation and evolution of different damage
mechanisms during the DCB standard test procedure on specimens with different interface …

The present work aims at investigating the influence of electrospun Nylon 6, 6 nanofibrous
mat to interlaminar strength. Mode I and the Mode II fracture mechanics of virgin and …

In using acoustic emissions (AEs) for mechanical diagnostics, one major problem is the
discrimination of events due to different types of damage occurring during loading of …
