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 ...

GFRP-Balsa Sandwich Bridge Deck: Concept, Design, and Experimental Validation

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Michael Osei-Antwi

The concept, design, and experimental validation of the new Avancon Bridge in Bex, Switzerland, are described. The lightweight glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwich bridge deck adhesively bonded to steel girders, reduced the traffic disruption per ...

On the Use of CFRP Sheets for the Seismic Retrofitting of Masonry Walls and the Influence of Mechanical Anchorage

Pierino Lestuzzi, Patrick Bischof

This work reports the outcomes of an extensive experimental campaign on the retrofitting of masonry walls by means of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets, carried out at University of Applied Sciences (UAS) Fribourg. In the first stage, static-cy ...

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 ...

Studies of hygrothermal degradation of a single fiber composite: An iterative approach with embedded optical sensors and numerical analysis

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Marco Lai

The hydrothermal ageing of glass/epoxy interface is investigated using an experimental numerical approach on cylindrical epoxy specimens with centrally located optical fibers. A 24 mm long Bragg grating sensor is inscribed on the optical fiber and used to ...

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 ...

Fire performance of water-cooled GFRP columns. Part I: Fire endurance investigation

Thomas Keller, Christian Ludwig, Yu Bai

Structural fire endurance experiments were conducted on full-scale cellular glass fiber-reinforced (GFRP) columns under axial compression and subjected to ISO834 fire exposure from one side. Unprotected columns can resist fire for more than 30 min, which i ...

Structural Response of Reinforced UHPFRC and RC Composite Members

Cornelius Oesterlee

Ultra High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) combines high strength, deformation capacity and low permeability. This makes UHPFRC particularly suitable as a strengthening and protective layer for application to existing reinforced concrete str ...

In situ flow stress of pure aluminium constrained by tightly packed alumina fibres

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Andreas Rossoll, Benedikt Moser

The in situ matrix flow stress of continuous fibre-reinforced aluminium is measured in tension along the fibre axis. We use a new, tighter, estimate for the effect differential Poisson contraction between fibres and matrix and take into consideration nonli ...

GFRP posts for railway noise barriers – experimental validation of load-carrying performance and durability

Thomas Keller, Till Vallée, Florian Riebel

As part of a 15-year railway noise remediation plan, 300km of noise barriers will be installed in Switzerland over the next few years. To enable pultruded glass fiber- reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials to be used for the noise barrier posts, a specificat ...
