This study addresses the role of the “thickness effect” on damage propagation and cracks
growth inside the plain-woven carbon fiber composites under Iosipescu shear loading …

Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) are made by sandwiching a fiber-reinforced composite
between thin layers of metal. FMLs are modern materials utilized in the manufacture of …

Digital image correlation (DIC) is a powerful technique for determining material deformation
and damage and currently is viewed as a potential method to study failure and crack …

This article reports on the manufacturing, experimental testing, and finite element analysis of
very thick and long carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) tubes under uniaxial …

This study investigates the damage behavior of autoclave consolidated carbon fiber/
Polyetherketoneketone (CF/PEKK) laminates manufactured by the automated fiber …

Torsional performance and damage progression inside the long and hollow axisymmetric
composite cylinders with different cutouts sizes are investigated via experimental and …

Here, we propose the utilization of atmospheric plasma activation (APA), which outperforms
peel-ply (PP) treatment and mechanical abrasion (MA) in achieving high-performance …

The study investigates the damage progression within a long and hollow axisymmetric
composite cylinder with central cutouts, employing both experimental and numerical …

Stress concentration at the hole edges and inter-hole interference effects are the main
factors affecting the mechanical properties of open-hole GLARE laminates. In this paper, a …

Abstract Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors possess enormous potential for the cure
