Evaluation and analysis of fracture modes in single composite basalt/epoxy fibres by photoelastic method and single fibre fragmentation test
(Springer, 2022-04-11)
In this work, the suitability of basalt fibres for uni-directional composite material applications, and adhesion between the fibres and the matrix they are embedded in have been investigated. A single fibre fragmentation ...
Hygrothermal deterioration in carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite laminates aged in marine-based environment (degradation mechanism, mechanical and physicochemical properties)
(Springer, 2022-01-27)
One of the major challenges in off-shore tidal and wave energy devices is the ageing of these structures in the hostile marine environment, which limits their operating life. In this research, mechanical properties of aged ...
Indentation characterization of glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy composite samples aged in artificial salt water at elevated temperature
(Elsevier, 2022-04-21)
Micro-level composite properties are a key determinant of the long-term performance and life span of marine-based composite structures. In this paper, the effect of the aging process in salt water at room temperature and ...
Defect evaluation of the honeycomb structures formed during the drilling process
(SAGE Publications, 2019-07-02)
In this paper, a comprehensive experimental investigation was carried out to precisely characterize the delamination and uncut fiber in the drilling process. A digital imaging procedure was developed in order to calculate ...
Short basalt fibre reinforced recycled polypropylene filaments for 3D printing
(Elsevier, 2022-08-12)
Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing, and specifically Material Extrusion) is a rapid and convenient manufacturing method using raw material in filament form and is a potential candidate process for the use of recycled ...
Mechanical behavior and long-term life prediction of carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite laminates under artificial seawater environment
(Elsevier, 2019-12-06)
This paper presents an investigation on the long-term performance of carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy laminates in an artificial seawater environment with 3.5% salinity. Accelerated aging tests were conducted at 60 °C for ...
