This article features a large statistical database on the tensile properties of natural fibre reinforced composite laminates. The data presented here corresponds to a comprehensive experimental testing program of several composite systems including: different material constituents (epoxy and vinyl ester resins; flax, jute and carbon fibres), different fibre configurations (short-fibre mats, uni...

Fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) has been increasingly used in construction for several decades to reduce crack growth by incorporating one or two types of fibre reinforced elements under the static load. This paper intends investigate experimentally how hybrid systems (micro and macro polypropylene fibres steel fibres) can enhance performance RC beams subjected loading restricting development m...

Fibre-reinforced composite materials are widespread in lightweight, high-performance applications. However, polymeric composites generally exhibit a brittle behaviour, which makes them susceptible to impact damage. Even low-velocity impacts can produce delaminations, cause substantial reduction of the compressive mechanical properties. Metallic layers have been embedded laminates with aim impro...

Glass-fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites exhibit superior properties to traditional materials. Thus, they have found a broad variety of applications in modern industry. For process development and quality control sophisticated three-dimensional methods for non-destructive characterization are needed. X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a powerful radiographic nondestructive-testing method...

Natural-fibre-reinforced polymer composites are most commonly employed in the automotive, aerospace and structural industries. This research focuses on synthesis analysis of dynamic properties a bamboo fibre used with polyester matrix nanocomposite produced titanium oxide nanoparticles. Bamboo-fibre samples were prepared using electroless plating method both their uncoated nickel-phosphorus-coa...
