Review of hybrid composites fatigue

Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Dharun Vadugappatty Srinivasan

Hybrid composites become popular and are today used in a large number of contemporary structural applications. When compared to non-hybrid composites, hybridization offers additional benefits since the mixing of cheaper, low-quality fibers, with more expen ...

Modeling and experimentation of conductive and radiative transfer through heterogeneous insulators in high-flux environments

Jérémy Raphaël Mora-Monteros

Heterogeneous materials are used in a wide range of applications involving high heat flux environments such as concentrated solar reactors, high-temperature furnaces, or thermal protection systems of space vehicles. The thermal response of heterogeneous ma ...

The effects of radiation on ablative heat shields during atmospheric entry

Nikhil Banerji

Spacecraft employ composite materials as Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) to survive entering a planetary atmosphere at hypersonic speeds. Under intense convective and radiative heating from the surrounding shock layer, these composites decompose and erode ...

Fiber reinforced polypropylene nanocomposites

Chrystèle Houphouet-Boigny Favre

The aim of this thesis is to assess the feasibility of integrating nanoparticles into glass fiber (GF) reinforced isotactic polypropylene (iPP) composites via existing thermoplastic processing routes, and to investigate whether this results in significant ...
