Drilling of carbon fibre reinforced plastic composites
… survey focusing on the machinability of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP), three main phases of experimental work were undertaken to evaluate the drilling of CFRP and associated stack materials. Phase 1 and 2 involved small diameter holes (1.5 mm) in thin CFRP laminates (3 mm thick) …

The compressive behaviour of unidirectional carbon fibre reinforced plastic
… the compressive strength of unidirectionally reinforced carbon fibre composites when loaded parallel to the fibres. A comprehensive review of previous research is presented and from this it is clear that no overall theory e,d.sts for predicting the unidirectional compressive strength of high …

Resistance of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composites to Quasi-static and Ballistic Perforation
… the indentation and penetration resistance, of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) cross-ply laminates were investigated under quasi-static and ballistic loading. In this thesis, the two most prominent failure modes were indirect tension and shear plugging. To characterise the indirect …

Thin-walled composite deployable booms with tape-spring hinges
… made from a two-ply plain-weave laminate of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic has been carried out. A particular version of this hinge was constructed and its moment-rotation profile during quasi-static deployment was measured. Folding and deployment simulations of the tape-spring hinge were …

Novel, low-cost, CFRP pressure vessel design for hydrogen fuel cell applications
… was primarily attributed to the design of the Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) pressure vessel portion of the rocket. The pressure vessel was composed on a long, thin-walled commercial CFRP cylindrical tube that had two Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) end caps bonded onto either end with an …
