Kevlar fibres have been widely used as impact-resistant reinforcement in composite
materials. The paper studies the impact behaviour as well as damage tolerance of …

Composite structures can be exposed to a range of corrosive environments during their in-
service life, which causes degradation in terms of material properties. The effect of alkaline …

Abstract Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites have low permeability and
high corrosion resistance. In recent years, as the use of GFRP in applications requiring high …

This paper investigates the impact dynamics of thin semicylindrical woven composite
laminate shells, with a particular focus on understanding the influence of thickness. Utilizing …

Kevlar fibres have been widely used as impact-resistant reinforcement in composite
materials. However, there are very few works about the effects of nanoclays on the impact …

Low failure strain and catastrophic failure are the most critical challenges of carbon fiber
reinforced polymer composite laminates. To tackle these challenges, inspired by core shells …

This work intends to study the impact performance of repaired composites by the overlap
patch technique and, for this purpose, experimental tests were carried out on single and …

Fiber-reinforced composites are gradually replacing the traditional materials in many
engineering applications. However, for many applications these materials are still …

The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of multiple delaminations on the
compressive, tensile and flexural strength of E-glass/epoxy composites and to evaluate their …

The behaviour of Glass Fibre Reinforced Composites (GFRPs) under single and multi-
impact events of the same total energy was analysed. Experimental tests were performed …
