Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is ideal for high performance of mechanical
properties. However, during the manufacturing process of CFRP, defects or flaws can easily …

This book is a revised and extended edition to the original 1986 book Composite Materials
for Aircraft Structures, edited by Brian Hoskin and Alan Baker of the then Aeronautical …

Several consolidation cycles were performed to study the impact of processing parameters
on void content, ultrasonic NDT and mechanical performance of CF/PEEK composites. A …

The resin system affects the shape and size of voids in composite laminates and the
associated fracture parameters. Most work on the effects of voids in the literature deals with …

Unidirectional fibre-reinforced composites are increasingly used in the sectors of aerospace,
automotive, construction, marine and other technical applications over the decades due to …

In the present work, glass/epoxy panels with stacking sequence [0/90 2] S and [0/45 2/0/− 45
2] S were produced by vacuum resin infusion. Using different process parameters, which …

An experimental program to characterize the effect of voids on the strength of composite
laminates is presented. The adequacy of a fracture criterion to represent the experimental …

Resin Transfer Moulding and other similar'liquid moulding'manufacturing methods have
been used to make non-structural composites for the last 35 years. However, in the last eight …

The presence of defects in composite materials is hardly avoidable during the process of
materials manufacturing, which may affect the mechanical behaviour of the material. This …

This paper describes the mechanical properties and water absorption characteristics for
biocomposites made from woven PLA/hemp/Lyocell prepregs. The aim was to improve the …
