Understanding the Effect of Sizing and Cellulose Nanocrystals on S2 Glass Fiber Sheet Molding Compounds
Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRPs) are increasingly more ubiquitous as research continuously pushes the limits of their mechanical performance. Excellent mechanical properties and low density coupled with increased ease of processibility are what distinguishes GFRPs over metallic materials. …

Energy Absorption of Metal-FRP Hybrid Square Tubes
… number of layers) on the energy absorption of S2-glass/epoxy-304 stainless steel square tubes were experimentally investigated. In addition, a new geometrical trigger was demonstrated which has positive effects on the collapse modes, delamination in the FRP, and the crush load efficiency of the …

An improved finite-element model for simulating microwave processing of polymers and polymer-composites in a cylindrical resonant cavity
… The materials considered were nylon 66, S-glass/polycarbonate composite, and S2-glass/epoxy composite. To study the advantages and disadvantages of microwave processing over conventional processing, comparisons were'made between the simulations of the two processes.

Shape Optimization of a Sandwich Composite Plate with Low-Velocity Impact Loading and Effect of Finite Difference Sensitivity Analysis
… which is made of a sandwich structure with S2 glass fiber composite (outer layers) and carbon fiber composite (core) materials. The FE model was used to simulate the nonlinear LVI response of the plate using MSC Nastran and ANSYS software. LVI experiments were performed in the materials lab …

Autonomic healing of low-velocity impact damage in woven fiber-reinforced composites
… work focused on self-healing in plain 2D woven S2 glass laminates with an epoxy matrix. The self-healing components, dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) microcapsules and wax-encapsulated first generation Grubbs' catalyst microspheres, were premixed into the liquid epoxy, and panels are fabricated using a …
