Bipolar plates (BPs) are important components of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC). Graphite-epoxy composites, having a better corrosion resistance than metal-based BPs and mechanical properties graphite BPs, promising alternative. In this study, we tried to develop graphite-epoxy composites meeting the technical US DOE targets for 2020, with proper choice manufacturing conditions tha...

This paper presents an experimental investigation on vibrations of heated composite plates leading to thermal buckling. The tests were performed considering two main goals: the application Vibration Correlation Technique for detection buckling in plates; and exploration frequency variations before after occurrence a mode jump post-buckling regime. Two test setups used. shared low expansion fram...
