Investigations of the fatigue performance of composite materials have accompanied their
introduction in several engineering domains since the 1950s. An abundance of publications …

This paper presents the development of a robust automatic damage diagnosis technique
that uses ultrasonic Lamb waves and a deep autoencoder (DAE) to detect and classify …

This review explores uniaxial ultrasonic fatigue (USF) testing as a common and dependable
method for quantifying the extended fatigue life of fiber‐reinforced polymer (FRP) …

The high cycle fatigue behaviour of autoclave-cured carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP)
composite gears is investigated. The CFRP gears were milled from a composite plate and …

Laminated composites have so far received little attention as a potential material for gear
drive applications. In the presented study, the thermomechanical performance of a newly …

As a new type of inorganic green and high performance fiber material, basalt fiber has broad
application prospects in the field of offshore wind power. In order to promote the application …

Biaxial tensile tests were carried out on cruciform specimens of composite solid propellants.
Digital Image Correlation (DIC) was used to measure the strain in the gage section …

The study and prediction of the failure mechanisms affecting long fibre reinforced
composites is a fundamental field that provides an essential knowledge for the structural …

Aerospace components, such as aircraft fuselage panels, pressurized container and turbine
blades are exposed to in-plane biaxial fatigue loading in service. Assessment of the effect of …

Exposure of a composite structure to mechanical or environmental stressors often leads to
the formation of damage sites which contain rupture mechanisms such as matrix cracking …
