Design and Additive Manufacturing of Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Polymer Microlattice with High Stiffness and High Damping
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are known for their high stiffness-to-weight and high strength-to-weight ratios and hence are of great interest in several engineering fields such as aerospace, automotive and defense. However, despite their light weight, high stiffness and high …

Micromechanical Behavior of Fiber-Reinforced Composites using Finite Element Simulation and Deep Learning
… the micromechanical behavior of high-performance carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites through high-fidelity numerical simulations. We investigated multiple transverse cracking of cross-ply CFRP laminates on the microstructure level through simulating large numerical models. Such an …

Continuity of bridges composed of simple-span precast prestressed concrete girders made continuous
… a new continuity connection is developed using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites. By making the girders continuous for slab self-weight as well, the additional negative moment over the continuity support will counteract the positive restraint moment and limit it below the …

Multi-Class 3D Segmentation of Progressive Damage in Advanced Composites using Deep Learning
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are playing an increasingly important role in modern aerospace primary structures. Underpinning their growing utilization is their relatively high mass-specific stiffness and strength, together with tailorable bulk mechanical properties. However, …

Effects of imperfections on the response of composite structures with scarf joints
The increased use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites as a primary structural material leads to a need for repairs of such structures. One such repair method is the scarf joint, an adhesive joint that allows for the original surface profile of a structure to be maintained. Studies …
