The use of X-ray computed tomography (CT), exploiting both synchrotron and laboratory
sources, has grown significantly over the last decade, driven primarily by improvements in …

Carbon fibres and their composites are well known for their excellent tensile properties and
light weight characteristics which, amongst other advantages continues to drive demand …

This study investigates the failure mechanisms of unidirectional (UD) HTS40/977-2
toughened resin composites subjected to longitudinal compressive loading. A possible …

The determination of ply properties of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) for particular
operational environmental conditions in aeronautical applications is mandatory in order to …

This study presents a data-driven, probability embedded approach for the failure prediction
of IM7/8552 unidirectional carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials …

Although being a popular approach for the modeling of laminated composites, mesoscale
constitutive models often struggle to represent material response for arbitrary load cases. A …

The interaction between fiber kink banding and splitting in the compressive response of fiber
composites is investigated by adopting a micromechanics based 2D finite element …

In this work, we design, manufacture, test and discuss the first bio-inspired microstructural
concept to enhance longitudinal compressive performance of multidirectional (MD) Carbon …

This paper investigates longitudinal compressive failure in notched unidirectional and cross-
ply carbon/epoxy specimens. Dedicated test jigs were developed to observe the failure …

One effective method for addressing the imbalance between the compression-to-tensile
strength ratio in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites is to create a high …
