LVI has become a serious threat to the composite industry because it induces complex
failure mechanisms and internal damages which significantly reduce the structural …

An emerging application of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is to replace steel
cables for cable-supported bridges, enhancing the service lives, reducing maintenance …

A woven five-harness satin (5HS) weave with AS4 carbon fibres, and unidirectional high
strength IMS60 carbon fibres were used to manufacture hybrid laminates, using resin …

The metal origami tubes which are employed as energy absorption devices have been
widely studied. Because the tubes can deform in a high-performance diamond mode (DM) …

The development of the latest generation of wide-body passenger aircraft has heralded a
new era in the utilisation of carbon-fibre composite materials. One of the primary challenges …

Abstract The evaluation of Compression-After-Impact (CAI) strength is of great significance
in the design of composite aerostructures. This paper presents a model for the numerical …

Thermoplastic composites are likely to emerge as the preferred solution for meeting the high-
volume production demands of passenger road vehicles. Substantial effort is currently being …

The present article provides a review on the nonlinear mechanical behavior of polymer
matrix composites (PMCs). Initially, essential mechanisms driving the nonlinear response of …

This work focuses on the effect of strain rate and fibre rotation on the in-plane shear
properties of composite laminates. The effect of fibre rotation on the measured shear …

The experiment and finite element method (FEM) simulation of high-velocity hail impact on
carbon fiber reinforced aluminum alloy laminates (CARALL) were carried out in this paper …
