Process-induced strains in RTM processing of polyurethane/carbon composites

Véronique Michaud, Luis Pablo Canal Casado

The development of residual strains and stresses is critical to manufacture composite structures with the required dimensional stability and mechanical performance. This work uses Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors to monitor strain build-up in carbon fiber ...

Assessment of solvent capsule-based healing for woven E-glass fibre-reinforced polymers

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Inès Richard, Erica Manfredi

Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion Molding (VARIM) with low vacuum pressure difference was used to manufacture woven glass fibre-reinforced epoxy resin plates, with a fibre volume fraction of approx. 50 vol% and containing ethyl phenylacetate (EPA)-filled caps ...

Multi-factorial models of a carbon fibre/epoxy composite subjected to accelerated environmental ageing

Thomas Gmür, Joël Cugnoni, Enrique René Guzman Solares

Among materials being introduced in the aerospace industry, the carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) have a place of privilege because of their exceptional stiffness-to-mass ratio. However, the polymer-based matrix is vulnerable to damages by environmen ...

Effect of punching shear on load-deformation behavior of flat slabs

Thomas Keller, Robert Koppitz

Punching shear resistance usually constitutes the decisive design criterion for reinforced concrete flat slabs supported by columns. Modeling approaches based on Kinnunen and Nylander's rotation-symmetric sector model, such as the Quadrilinear Sector Model ...

Advanced Materials Enabling High-Volume Road Transport Applications of Lightweight Structural Composite Parts

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Véronique Michaud

Current applications of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) can be found mostly in sectors where their use is not principally cost-driven and which have limited production volumes, such as aerospace and sports cars. In order to achieve a step-change in ...

Experimental investigation on seismic behaviour of slab-column connections

Katrin Beyer, Aurelio Muttoni, Ioannis Sokratis Drakatos

Code design of slab-column connections to resist seismically induced drifts is currently based on empirical relationships for both moment and deformation capacity. The results of tests on slabcolumn connections are however sensitive to the conception of th ...

Effect of aging on the performance of solvent-based self-healing materials

Véronique Michaud, Sam Neuser

Solvent healing of thermoset polymer matrices was suggested as an efficient and cost-effective alternative to other encapsulated self-healing systems. However, self-healing efficiency is not guaranteed over time. We report here on the autonomic self-healin ...

Tailored Capsule Based Self-Healing for Epoxy Matrix Composites

Sam Neuser

Self-healing materials are a novel class of materials able to repair structural or, more generally, functional damage to a part. They hence have the potential to improve reliability and cost effectiveness, because failure or loss of functionality may be po ...
