Crushing and intrusion resistance improvement of aluminum beams by carbon/epoxy composite patches

Véronique Michaud, Jonathan Friedli, Mathieu Piccand, Baris Çaglar, Yann Albert Gérard Lebaupin

This study investigates the intrusion and crushing performance of hybrid fiber metal laminates based on aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced polymers, in comparison to reference aluminum parts, made from AA6451 or AA7075 automotive grade alloys. A first se ...

Behavior of prestressed CFRP plates bonded to steel substrate: Numerical modeling and experimental validation

Elyas Ghafoori, Ardalan Hosseini, Masoud Motavalli

In recent years, retrofitting of steel structures has emerged as a major issue in structural engineering and construction management. As the adhesive bond is often the critical aspect controlling the actual performance of steel profiles externally strength ...

Load history effects in fibre-reinforced polymer composite materials

Abdolvahid Movahedirad

Today, it is widely accepted that fatigue is one of the most common failure mechanisms in structural components, and pure static failure is rarely observed. Engineering structures are subjected to complex mechanical fatigue loading histories, which cause d ...

Size limitations on achieving tough and healable fibre reinforced composites through the use of thermoplastic nanofibres

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Lode Geeraard Daelemans

Phase-separated blends of epoxy and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) provide crack repair in composites after a thermal treatment at 150 °C, but decrease the material’s fracture toughness. This article investigates the combination of healing with interlaminar fr ...

The influence of through-thickness reinforcement geometry and pattern on delamination of fiber-reinforced composites: Part I - Experimental results

John Botsis, Véronique Michaud, Georgios Pappas

This experimental study reports effect of tuft geometry i.e., standard tufts and loops milled-down, and tufting pattern on Mode I interlaminar fracture in a GFRP. Standard tufting geometry is responsible for an increase in fracture resistance by 3.5-6 time ...

Pattern formation in thin liquid films: from coating-flow instabilities to microfluidic droplets

Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra

Nature and technical applications abound with thin viscous flows, ranging from the lava flow on volcanoes to the lubricating layer around confined bubbles in the microchannels of Lab-on-a-Chip devices. Countless are the examples where coating flows arise i ...

Strategies for faster impregnation in melt thermoplastic resin transfer molding process

Damiano Salvatori

Continuous fiber thermoplastic composites are potential substitutes of steel in structural automotive components, since they combine fiber strength and rigidity with ductility, potential recyclability and low density of the thermoplastic (TP) matrix. Resin ...
