Effects of Z-pin on moisture absorption property and damage mode under flexural load for carbon fiber composite

Flexural monitoring of carbon fiber/epoxy composite by acoustic emission

Carbon / epoxy composite is one of the most useful polymer matrix composites that has special properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, high hardness, high corrosion resistance, Resistance to nuclear radiation has high consumption in different industries such as aerospace industry. Therefor monitoring of loading of this type of composite is important. In order to determine failure mecha...

Effects of composite lay-up configuration and thickness on the damage self-sensing behavior of carbon fiber polymer-matrix composite

The lay-up configuration (unidirectional, crossply and quasi-isotropic) and thickness (8–24 laminae) affect the damage self-sensing characteristics of continuous carbon fiber epoxy-matrix composites. The damage is by drop impact directed at the top surface of the laminate. The oblique resistance (i.e., resistance at an angle between the longitudinal and through-thickness directions) is an effec...

Moisture Diffusion Properties of Fabric Composite (Glass Fiber/Epoxy Resin)

In this study, the effect of hygrothermal conditioning on the moisture diffusion properties of the fabric composite (glass fiber/epoxy resin) was investigated. The water uptake of the specimens conditioned in humid environment at different relative humidities (0, 60 and 96 % r.h) at constant temperature (60°C) was evaluated by weight gain measurements. The moisture diffusion properties of the f...
