Manufacturing defects are inherent to any manufacturing process. However, in composite materials they might be unavoidable, e.g. ply waviness or even folds of plies are present in complex shaped parts during high pressure resin transfer…
The widespread use of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites in sectors such as aerospace and aviation calls for the adoption of sustainable recycling protocols. This research evaluates the mechanical and tomographic…
The present experimental study includes testing thirteen reinforced concrete beams with openings at different locations to investigate the efficiency of strengthening such openings. Different strengthening techniques around the opening…
The rapid development of inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials like carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) with epoxy matrices necessitates a multidisciplinary approach for safe use. This approach should integrate computational modeling…
This paper investigates numerically the behavior of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams, strengthened using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) sheets, subjected to impact loading. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was performed and…
The study focuses on examining the impact of internal manufacturing defects (voids and wrinkles) on the mechanical behavior of structural carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) under shear loading. Specimens of VKU/VSE1212 material with a…
