Abstract: In this study, overlapped biaxial and seamless twill carbon fiber pipes and vessels were manufactured. Steel pressure vessels were repaired with flexible twill and biaxial fabric. The pipes and vessels were subjected to ...

Abstract: The compliance of the mixed-mode bending (MMB) test fixtures can influence the interlaminar fracture toughness measurements for different mixed-mode ratios in an unpredictable way. The purpose of this article is to introduce ...

Abstract: Heat and moisture influence the interphase properties of polymer matrix composite significantly. The composite samples were exposed to different levels of heat and moisture. The advanced peak force–based quantitative ...

Abstract: A piecewise linear parametric uniaxial stress-strain approach has been used to obtain the closed form nonlinear moment curvature response on the basis of strain compatibility in bending for epoxy resin materials. The ...

Abstract: The mechanical response of epoxy resin Epon E 863 has been studied in tension, compression, and flexure. The epoxy resins have been tested at different strain rates ranging from

Abstract: A high-speed manufacturing process for multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) buckypaper is presented, and its application as an embedded strain sensor for composite materials is demonstrated. This manufacturing method enables ...
