The composites, used in the transportation engineering, include different classes with a wide range of materials and properties within each type. The following different typologies of composites have been investigated: laminated…
This work is dedicated to the experimental study of the influence of preliminary dynamic loading on the residual strength of the laminated polymer composite under compression. A series of low-velocity transverse drop-weight impact tests in…
This paper describes the application of SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) materials to enhance the passive damping of GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic) laminated composite. The SMA has been embedded as reinforcement in the GFRP laminated…
The study aims at assessing the effects of the ultrasonic consolidation parameters and the insertion of energy directors from the commercially available polyetheretherketone film ~250 µm thick on the structure and mechanical properties of…
The simulation of the fatigue damage of laminated composites under multi-axial and variable amplitude loadings has to deal with several new challenges and several methods of damage modelling. In this paper we present how to account for the…
When studying mechanical behavior of structures made of laminated polymer composite materials, issues related to their relatively high susceptibility to damage, such as delamination, fiber breakage and matrix failure, play significant…
This paper provides a finite element analysis of laminated composite plates under the action of a moving vehicle. The vehicle is modeled as a rigid body with four suspension systems, each consisting of a spring-dashpot. Overall, the…
The paper analyses the numerical algorithms for experimental data processing using a contactless video system Vic-3D, designed for three-dimension analysis of displacement and strain fields, and digital image correlation method. The…
Particleboard (PB) are wood-based composites with fine wood fibers bound together by a small amount of polymeric adhesive, widely used in furniture industry and civil engineering. PB plates can be painted, laminated or veneered, and have…
Damage detection in composite materials is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of engineering structures. Conventional methods often face challenges in accurately identifying damage in plate-like structures, particularly in…
