This study investigates the interply hybridization of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP)
composite laminate to improve the flexural performance and cost efficiency. Carbon layers …

Damage process in composites subjected to low-velocity impact is investigated both
experimentally and numerically. Drop-weight impact experiments are carried out, in which a …

This study aims to characterize the crushing responses of hat-shaped composite tube under
quasi-static three-point bending (TPB) and transverse compression (TC) conditions. The …

This paper investigates the hygrothermal effects on the failure mechanisms in bending of
carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. Accelerated diffusion testing was …

Hybrid carbon fiber/flax reinforced polymer composites (HFRPs) meet the requirements of
high property to cost ratio for many structural applications. In the present study, HFRP plates …

The dynamic crushing characteristics of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastic
composites under two loading types, dynamic three-point bending and axial crushing, are …

The finite element (FE) solutions of the smart (SMA: shape memory alloy fibre bonded)
composite with and without crack are computed in this research. The structural model is …

The design and analysis of composite structures in the form of layered plates or shells is
often driven by stress concentration phenomena that occur due to geometric or material …
