Variations on R-curves and traction-separation relations in DCB specimens loaded under end opening forces or pure moments

John Botsis, Georgios Pappas

In this work the differences in R-curve response and traction-separation relations due to a finite damage zone or large-scale bridging (LSB) in mode I fracture on double cantilever beams (DCB) were investigated under end opening forces (EOF) and pure momen ...

Mixed mode fracture behavior of welded wood joints investigated with the Arcan test

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Parviz Navi, Martin Rhême

Friction welding of wood is an assembly method that is still under investigation and development. A possible application for welded wood joints is the fabrication of multi-layered panels (i.e., cross-laminated panels). In an effort to model the behavior of ...

Self-Healing Fiber-Reinforced Composites with Tailored Supramolecular Matrices

Federica Sordo

Fiber Reinforced Composites (FRCs), due to their intrinsic heterogeneity, are generally affected by complex multi-scale failure mechanisms leading to the formation of matrix cracks that are difficult to detect and repair. FRCs with the ability to heal and ...

Biaxial Wrinkling of Thin-Walled GFRP Webs in Cell-Core Sandwiches

Behzad Dehghan Manshadi

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sandwich structures offer several advantages compared to structures made of traditional materials, such as high specific strength, good corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity and rapid component installation. In this ...

Interlaminar fracture toughness improvement in composites with hyperbranched polymer modified resin

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Véronique Michaud

The present work aims to enhance the interlaminar toughness of carbon/epoxy composites produced by RTM by modifying the resin with hyperbranched polymers (HBPs). A HBP content of 7.5% in the resin was selected as the best compromise between a slight loss i ...
