This manuscript studied the effect of U-CFRP wrapped sheet anchorage on flexural performance unbonded post-tensioned PC members subjected to partial strand damage and strengthened using CFRP Near-Surface Mounting techniques. The program includes six girders as a control girder, girder with 14.2%, four by laminates NSM technique without anchorages. testing results show that 14.2% has reduced str...

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...

Abstract Magnesium alloys are the lightest available structural metals. The low density and high strength-to-weight ratio make magnesium its an excellent option for use in automotive transport vehicles. In case of alloys, corrosion phenomenon is a serious problem especially when it connected with epoxy-carbon composite (CFRP). Poor adhesion can easily cause delamination at interface. So this wo...

Curing is a critical process in the compression molding of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). It directly bears on quality molded products. Based curing theory resin-based polymers, thermo-mechanical-chemical multi-field coupling model for CFRP form thermal-chemical subprocess, matrix flow-compaction sub-process and residual stress-deformation sets up its data exchange mutual call relation...

The strengthening of steel structures using externally bonded (EB) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates has gained popularity due to the advantages such as their high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Even though previous studies showed application EB CFRP can enhance fatigue performance cracked plates, little is known regarding high-cycle CFRP-to-steel joints. As d...

Experimental method was employed to investigate mechanical characterization of carbon fiber reinforcement polymer (CFRP) composite beams at different temperatures. The experimental research is mainly based on the vibration response measurement by using technique electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI), which can provide visualization vibrating information represented as fringe patterns...

Weight reduction is often a key factor in modern mechanical design, therefore materials such as carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) are increasingly used and integrated within multi-material structures using adhesive technologies, which require high effort difficult to disassemble. The capability of blind rivet nut (BRN) join different without these disadvantages has created growing industr...
