Durability of adhesively bonded joints between pultruded GFRP adherends under hygrothermal and natural ageing

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study about the durability of adhesively bonded joints between pultruded glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) adherends for civil engineering applications. Single lap joint (SLJ) specimens were manufacture ...

Micromechanical study on the origin of fiber bridging under interlaminar and intralaminar mode I failure

John Botsis, Georgios Pappas, Fernando Naya Montans

Fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) subjected to mode I fracture show important toughening due to the development of large scale bridging (LSB). Experimental studies of this phenomenon in unidirectional carbon/epoxy laminates using double cantilever beam spec ...

Size limitations on achieving tough and healable fibre reinforced composites through the use of thermoplastic nanofibres

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades

Phase-separated blends of epoxy and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) provide crack repair in composites after a thermal treatment at 150 °C, but decrease the material’s fracture toughness. This article investigates the combination of healing with interlaminar fr ...

CO2-filled Hollow-Core Fiber Reference Gas Cells for Laser Frequency Stabilization at 2 um

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow, Fan Yang

We present different configurations of compact CO2 reference gas cells based on hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCF) for laser frequency stabilization at 2 um. Gaseous helium permeation through the silica fiber walls was used to fabricate low-press ...

Fracture mechanics-based progressive damage modelling of adhesively bonded fibre-reinforced polymer joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Moslem Shahverdi, Roohollah Sarfaraz Khabbaz, Aida Cameselle Molares

A quasi-static progressive damage model for prediction of the fracture behaviour and strength of adhesively bonded fibre-reinforced polymer joints is introduced in this paper. The model is based on the development of a mixed-mode failure criterion as a fun ...

Fracture of thin-ply composites : effects of ply thickness

Guillaume Frossard

The demand for carbon/epoxy laminated composites is continuously increasing due to their high specific modulus and strength. Among them, laminates made of particularly thin layers (from t=0.015 to 0.150 mm) and called thin-ply composites are gaining in int ...

Damage recovery after impact in E-glass reinforced poly(epsilon-caprolactone)/epoxy blends

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades

Damage recovery after low-velocity impact has been assessed in woven E-glass fibre-reinforced polymer composites with an epoxy matrix and a blend of epoxy and 25 vol% of poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL). Impact was carried out at three energy levels (8.5, 17, 34 ...

Thermal mending in E-glass reinforced poly(epsilon-caprolactone)/epoxy blends

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades

Blends of difunctional epoxy monomer with a 4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone hardener and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) were used as a self-healing matrix in woven glass fibre-reinforced polymer composites (FRPs). FRPs with these blends (containing 0, 25 and ...

Hybrid Processing of Thermoplastic Based Multimaterials

Rajasundar Chandran

There is a growing interest in exploring novel material combinations and processing technology to manufacture complex 3D shaped polymer and composite structures. In the field of prosthetics and orthotics, this need is significant with additional challenges ...

Studies on Traction Separation Relations in Fracture of Layered Composites : Experiments and Modeling

Georgios Pappas

Layered fiber reinforced composite materials are prone to fracture in planes parallel to the direction of fibers leading to extensive delamination or intralaminar fracture. This phenomenon of crack propagation is frequently accompanied by significant incre ...

An efficient method for fiber bridging traction identification based on the R-curve: Formulation and experimental validation

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Thomas Gmür, Guillaume Frossard

Fiber bridging is one of the main toughening mechanisms in mode I interlaminar and intralaminar fracture of laminated composites. Intact fibers exert closing forces on both faces of the crack, restraining crack propagation. An effective identification proc ...
