The improvement of electrical conductivity of carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) has been investigated by conductive silver nano-particles coating for the purpose of aircraft lightning protection. Silver nano-particles in colloid were sprayed on the surface of carbon fibers, which were then impregnated by epoxy resin to form a CFRP specimen. Electrical resistance was measured by contact re...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the results of a pilot study to apply externally bonded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets to strengthen a simple span reinforced concrete solid slab bridg...

 Externally Bonded Reinforcement on Grooves (EBROG) is a new method that has been introduced to postpone or eliminate debonding of FRP sheets from concrete surface in concrete beams strengthened for flexure and increase loading capacity. For strengthening reinforced conceret beams in strructure, use of different types of FRP like: laminate, AFRP, CFRP, and GFRP. By there is some differences bet...

CFRP materials are widely used in special environments, and it has excellent mechanical properties. However, processing is very difficult, especially the process of using traditional cutting methods, due to its heterogeneity anisotropy. In this work, based on failure mechanism materials, we studied cutters milling processing, modeled analyzed conducted orthogonal experiments composite materials...

Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) as an imaging technique producing a 2D or 3D impedance image (conductivity or impedivity) of the subject under test. It can be used for delamination detection and evaluating the damage location, size, strain and severity for Structure Health Monitoring (SHM) of aerospace composites i.e. Carbon-fibrereinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. Keywords—Electrical I...
