In this study, the effect of date palm tree fibres (DPTF) on the R-curve of E-glass/epoxy end-
notch-flexure samples is investigated. To this aim, various DPTF types (Mesh, Rachis …

A critically important consideration of stiffened structural panels is the interfacial properties
between skin and stiffener. In the present study a novel implementation of laser-assisted …

Elium® is a novel liquid Methylmethacrylate thermoplastic (TP) matrix that can be cured at
room temperature. Elium® resin provides the properties of TP polymer composites and is a …

One of the most crucial issues in using composite materials is the delamination
phenomenon since it causes a drastic reduction in stiffness and strength of laminates. In this …

In aircraft structural integrity analysis, the damage tolerance and fatigue life is investigated
against a cyclic loading spectrum. The particular spectrum includes the stress/loading levels …

This work details the application of cycle merging on a fatigue spectrum applied to a
unidirectional specimen. The specimen design has previously been the subject of a ground …

Due to the increase in prevalence of fibre-reinforced polymer matrix composites (FRPMC) in
aircraft structures, the need for adaption of failure prediction tools such as fatigue spectra …

A novel technique to improve the Mode I and Mode II interlaminar fracture toughness of
woven carbon-fiber polymer matrix composite face sheets using zinc oxide nanowires is …

The objective of the present work is to investigate mode I and mode II delamination
behaviour of chopped strand mat (CSM) E-glass reinforced vinyl ester (VE) composite …

A woven carbon/epoxy composite was subjected to fatigue crack growth under mixed Mode-
I/Mode-II loading to obtain crack growth behavior at different cyclic strain energies. Owing to …
