In order to use the full potential of fiber-reinforced composite materials, load-compliant fiber architecture and suitable manufacturing technologies are essential. Therefore, multiple approaches to enable customized braided structures for highly stressed structural profiles in high volume applications are introduced and resulting design possibilit...

This paper proposes a progressive damage model incorporating strain and heating rate effects for the prediction of composite specimen damage resulting from simulated lightning strike test conditions. A mature and robust customised failure model has been developed. The method used a scaling factor approach and non-linear degradation models from publ...

The influence of matrix modification on the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and the mechanical performance of polypropylene/glass fibre composites is investigated. Two different modifiers were used: a highly reactive hyperbranched polymer grafted polypropylene (HBPgPP) and a maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAHgPP). The interfacial shear s...

C/SiC has excellent mechanical properties and is extensively utilized in the aerospace field. Meanwhile, it is a typical intractable material in virtue of its special intrinsic structure. To investigate the grinding force and material removal mechanism of fiber reinforced CMC, a unidirectional C/SiC composite material was designed and prepared. A s...

The fatigue hysteresis behavior of SiCf/Ti composites at two-stage cyclic loading has been investigated in present analysis. The effect of fiber volume fraction, loading sequence and fiber shape parameters on the fatigue hysteresis loops of composites were analyzed. Based on the law of interface slip during loading and unloading, the hysteresis loo...

Recently, it has been found that submarine pressure hulls constructed from fiber-reinforced multilayers have great potential to replace classical metallic ring-stiffened pressure hulls. The strength and stability of these structures are the most important functional requirements and should be considered in any design procedure. This study aimed to ...

The effect of the pre-bond contamination with fingerprint (FP), both during the production and the application of adhesively bonded patch repairs on composite aircraft parts, and the cumulative effect of fingerprint and hygrothermal ageing on the fracture toughness of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) bonded joints are experimentally investiga...

In this paper, a high-temperature test experimental system is built to investigate the dependence of the strength of a C/SiC composite material on temperature. Unintuitively, the strength increases with temperature. To investigate the microscopic mechanism, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of an in situ bending test experiment is performed. Our h...

During curing process of composites, residual stresses inevitably develop and play an important role in the final mechanical properties of composites. Therefore, the consideration of residual stresses when designing composite structure is necessary. The causes of residual stresses are well known on the part and fiber-matrix level. However, the infl...

The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. Fig 2 was captured incorrectly. Since the analysis of bird-strike in the paper was carried out with Abaqus, it was replaced by a picture of the analysis process of Abaqus' bird-strike. The corrected Fig 2 is now given
