Identification of Failure Modes of Carbon-Carbon Composites at Various Processing Stages Using the Acoustic Emission Technique
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the fabrication of carbon-carbon (C/C) composites, the first carbonization process is crucial, as the mechanical properties of the composite are completely altered at this stage. Some predominant ...
Static and High Strain Rate Compression Response of Thick Section Twill Weave S-2 Glass/Vinyl Ester Composites Manufactured by Affordable Liquid Molding Processes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fiber reinforced composites, due to their higher specific strength and specific stiffness, are replacing many metallic structures. Of these, thick composite laminates are of high interest in ...
Low Velocity Impact and Compression-After-Impact Response of Z-Pin Reinforced Core Sandwich Composites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the current work, sandwich composite structures with innovative constructions referred to as Z-pins, or truss core pins, are investigated. The Z-pin core sandwich construction offers enhanced ...
Effects of Temperature and Moisture on the High Strain Rate Compression Response of Graphite/Epoxy Composites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental investigations were carried out on unidirectional Graphite/Epoxy laminate samples under dynamic compression loading using a modified Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. High strain rate testing ...
