In-situ repair of composite sandwich structures using cyanoacrylates

Véronique Michaud

A novel method for the in-situ repair of composite sandwich structures using microvascular networks and cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesive systems has been presented. Upon a damage event, the vascules become ruptured, providing a route for the introduction of adh ...

Performance in Transverse Direction of Fiber‐Reinforced Polymer Bridge Decks

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Sonia Yanes Armas

Pultruded glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge decks distribute punctual vehicular loads to the underlying superstructure and can also act as the upper chord of hybrid main girders. The deck’s structural performance in both cases is influenced by i ...
