Machined surface quality determines the reliability, wear resistance and service life of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) workpieces. In this work, the formation mechanism of the surface topography and the machining defects of CFRPs are proposed, and the influence of milling parameters and fiber cutting angles on the surface quality of CFRPs is obtained, which can provide a reference for ...

In this research, the influence of carbon nanotubes agglomeration on buckling behavior multi-phase CNTs/fiber/polymer/metal composite laminates cylindrical shells under hydrostatic pressure was investigated. Governing equations were derived according to Kirchhoff-Love’s first approximation shell theory and solved by a combination Galerkin Fourier series expansion methods. Equivalent elastic pro...

Abstract During deep drawing processes of fiber metal laminates, such as the newly developed in-situ hybridization process, fibers and sheets come into contact while dry fabric is infiltrated by a reactive matrix system. The viscosity increases polymerization starts during deep-drawing. In laminate drawn thermoplastic system injected glass layer in resin transfer molding process. forming lamina...

A novel, two-scale computational model has been developed to predict the progressive damage and failure responses of fiber-reinforced composite laminates using the material properties at the constituent (fiber and matrix) level. These properties were measured from coupon level tests on a unidirectional lamina of the same material system. In the proposed computational scheme, the macroscale fini...

Externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates are a feasible and economical alternative to traditional methods for strengthening and stiffening deficient reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete girders as shown in Fig. (1). Although extensive research has already been undertaken to investigate the behavior of CFRP strengthened bridge girders, the majority of work condu...

Fiber metal laminates (FML) are composite structures consisting of metals and fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) which have experienced an increasing interest as the choice materials in aerospace automobile industries. Due to a sophisticated built up material, not only design production such is challenging but also its damage detection. This research work focuses on identification FML with guided ...
