Feasibility and efficiency of using carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) buckle arrestors in steel offshore pipelines with D/t 28 40 are investigated hyperbaric chamber tests. CFRP manufactured Prepreg (PP), Wet-Layup (WL) Vacuum Bagging (VB) curing methods, coarse fine sand surface preparations. A parametric study is performed that outlines the performance various geometric configurations. E...

This publication presents the realisation of a sensor concept, which is based on eddy current testing, to detect textile defects during preforming of semi-finished carbon fibre parts. The presented system has the potential for 100% control of manufactured carbon fibre based components, allowing the immediate exclusion of defective parts from further process steps. The core innovation of this sy...

In recent decades, the application of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for strengthening structural elements has become an efficient option to meet the increased cyclic loads or repair due to corrosion or fatigue cracking. Hence, the objective of this study is to explore the existing FRP reinforcing techniques to care for fatigue damaged structural steel elements. This study covers the...
