Externally bonding fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) is an effective approach to
strengthen/retrofit concrete structures. However, little is known on bond performance of FRP …

This study investigates the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of bamboo (BF) and
kenaf (KF) fiber-reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) hybrid composites. Three hybrid (30BF …

In this paper, the dimensionless debonding length of fiber at various temperatures was
obtained based on the maximum shear stress criterion. Then Hill's stress–strain relations …

Thin-ply laminated composites have recently gained increasing attention in the aerospace
engineering field, due to enhanced design possibilities and positive size effects with regard …

Visual inspection is currently the most common way for surface defect detection in the
damaged composite structure, which is considered unreliable for barely visible impact …

A reliable hot air-flow heating approach is creatively carried out for high strain rate tests
without environment tank. The out-of-plane and in-plane compression of carbon fiber …

In this paper, 3D representative volume elements (RVEs) of UD carbon/epoxy composites
are generated, taking into consideration a realistic misalignment of the fibres. To construct …

An Epoxy matrix with a high elastic modulus is designed via flexible poly (ethylene glycol)
diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE)/rigid cycloaliphatic epoxy (CE) grafted silica to fabricate carbon …

Understanding the mechanisms of fiber wrinkling during the compaction process is of
paramount importance as fiber wrinkling significantly affects the mechanical properties of …

Epoxy matrix with high modulus was synergistically designed by organic amide acid (AA)
and inorganic nano silica (SiO 2) as well as stiffened interphase of carbon fiber composite …
