The paper presents an experimental analysis of tracking the path of the cracks and crack growth in strengthened or repair reinforced concrete short corbels bonded by carbon fiber fabrics under static and dynamic loads. The reinforced short…
This article investigates the possibility of exploiting innovative polyvinyl alcohol fibers reinforced with carbon nanotubes (PVA-CNT fiber) as a strain sensor in cement mortars used in the restoration of Cultural Heritage Monuments. Two…
Hybrid continuous fiber–reinforced composites produced by fused deposition modeling (FDM) offer a promising solution for lightweight load-bearing structures. However, their mechanical performance is strongly governed by internal…
Adding short carbon fiber reinforcement to thermoplastic matrices can improve the mechanical performance of additively manufactured polymer-based composites. This work examines the flexural behavior of Fused Deposition Modeling…
The focus of this research was to investigate the effects of carbon nanofiber (CNF) reinforcement on the mechanical performance, interfacial characteristics, and abrasive wear behavior of short glass fiber/polyphenylene sulfide (GF/PPS)…
The machinability of polymer matrix composites with fibers strongly depends on the type of fiber and dosage in question, having a high influence on the selection of tools and cutting parameters. The cutting temperature depends of rotation…
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of thickness of energy director (EDs) and ultrasonic welding (USW) process parameters on structure formation and interlaminar shear strength (LSS) values of lap-joints of composite…
Adopting novel sandwich structures with FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) skins and a metallic lattice core, both of which have high specific strength and stiffness, is one way to achieve better mechanical performance while remaining…
Concrete corbels are short cantilever constructions that may lose their strength over time because of loads that happen over and over again. As an external bonding method for reinforcement, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips are…
Onyx ® is a new material composed of Polyamide 6 reinforced with short carbon fiber, used in the novel additive manufacturing composites technique. This paper aims to present the axial fatigue performance of this material with and without…
