Ultrasonic welding is a special joining process with high joining speed and good joint
strength. Compared with conventional mechanical and adhesive bonding, ultrasonic …

Fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) are widely used due to their superior properties but often
suffer from brittle failure and poor structural integrity under impact loads. Metal fiber hybrids …

This work evaluates the fatigue behavior of ultrasonically welded aluminum AA5024) to fiber
reinforced thermoplastic (PEEK) joints at a stress ratio of R> 0. Initial load increase tests …

Integrating the steel fibers into the carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) structures
provides a new material with unique properties, eg, superior specific strength and stiffness …

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been extensively used in
airframes, train bodies, and engine blades for their properties of high strength, low weight …

Fiber‐reinforced plastics have extensive applications in advanced industries in which the
material is subjected to long time sustained loadings that stimulates time‐dependent …

Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are the standard lightweight composite material
