The accurate determination of residual stresses has a crucial role in understanding the
complex interactions between microstructure, mechanical state, mode (s) of failure, and …

A new multi-step optimization method is developed to predict the optimal fiber orientation in
glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite shells. The method contains 1) a …

This paper reports a comprehensive overview of nonconventional machining (NCM) of fiber-
reinforced polymers (FRPs), which are widely used in high-tech industries owing to their …

Residual stresses are balanced, non-uniform, undesirable, and often harmful in laminated
polymer composite materials. Different methods are developed to measure these stresses in …

Although cooling at ambient temperature is widely used and is said to be safe and
convenient, faster cooling may have an influence not only on the time of the manufacturing …

Fibre reinforced polymers are widely used materials in terms of their mechanical properties.
The application of proper stacking-sequence of layers allows to obtain desirable properties …

The nonuniform residual stresses are determined by consecutive drilling of a laminated
composite at the center of an installed rosette strain gauge and recording the strains after …

This research explores the influence of various parameters on the cured shape of hybrid
fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates. A new analytical framework based on …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has received interest since it is simpler to manufacture
complicated 3D component without the requirement for casting moulds than convective …

The ultimate buckling capacity of the composite cylinders exposed to external hydrostatic
pressure is identified as a critical factor in design, manufacturing and in-service life stages of …
