INTRODUCTION Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates are used in various industrial fields because they have excellent properties in the specific strength and specific stiffness. The CFRP has a potential of weight reduction in the automotive structure which can contribute to the improvement of mileage as well as the reduction of carbon dioxide. On the other hand, the safety issue in ca...

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites hybridized with hydrogen-doped NiTi wires can be used to design structures requiring high stiffness and damping in the low frequency range, such as helicopter blades. The current work investigates aging hydrogen-doping for without hydrogen embrittlement. We establish a hydrogenation treatment that (i) results response is repeatable martensitic p...

The efficiency of the use near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips confined with CFRP wraps to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) columns will be experimentally and analytically investigated in this paper. A total 15 specimens RC strengthened different numbers NSM-CFRP (0, 4, 8) 2, 4), prepared tested under concentric eccentric loading eccentricity ratios 0, 0.2...

This paper presents an experimental study for the structural performance of reinforced concrete (RC) exterior beam-column joints rehabilitated using carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). The present experimental program consists of testing 10 half-scale specimens divided into three groups covering three possible defects in addition to an adequately detailed control specimen. The considered de...

This work investigates a unique technique to join aluminum (Al) and magnesium (Mg) alloys carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites without the use of adhesives or mechanical fasteners. The joints were made using an overcasting where molten cast around high pressure die casting method. Rapid cooling during allowed composite be embedded inside metal causing any gross damage former even t...

This paper presents the shear performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with Tsection. Different configurations of externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets were used to strengthen the specimens in shear. The experimental program consisted of six full-scale, simply supported beams. One beam was used as a bench mark and five beams were strengthened using different confi...

With the gradual application of composite materials to ships and offshore structures, structural strength composites that can replace steel should be explored. In this study, mechanical bearing failure modes a composite-to-metal joining structure connected by mechanically fastened joints were experimentally analyzed. The effects fiber tensile stress concentration on static structures investigat...

This article examines the performance of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) on Concrete Filled with Vinyl Chloride Tube (CFPT) columns under axial compression. Firstly, 44 CFPT specimens from literature were analyzed using ABAQUS software to understand compressive behavior applied displacement. Secondly, 268 are simulated influence CFRP these control a varying number FRP layers and wrapping...

In this work, the mode I fracture toughness of dissimilar metal-composite adhesive joints is experimentally investigated using double cantilever beam (DCB) test. The particular joint under study resulted by joining a thin titanium sheet with carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminate and envisioned to be implemented in hybrid laminar flow control system future aircraft. Four different indu...

Owing to high specific strength and designability, unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (UD-CFRP) has been utilized in numerous fields to replace conventional metal materials. Post machining processes are always required for UD-CFRP to achieve dimensional tolerance and assembly specifications. Due to inhomogeneity and anisotropy, UD-CFRP differs greatly from metal materials in machini...
