Damage accumulation in hybrid woven fabric composites.
… epoxy laminates manufactured from two different fabrics have been investigated under three different loading conditions. One of the woven fabrics was non-hybrid glass using E-glass fibre yams in both warp and weft (fill) directions, the second fabric was a hybrid woven fabric using E-glass fibre …

An infiltration/cure model for manufacture of fabric composites by the resin infusion process
… model was developed to simulate fabrication of advanced textile composites by the resin film infusion process. The simulation model relates the applied temperature and pressure processing cycles, along with the experimentally measured compaction and permeability characteristics of …

Development of a Progressive Failure Model for Notched Woven Composite Laminates
… for Exploration (CTE) project at NASA, woven fabric composites are being investigated for their use in Space Launch System (SLS) hardware. Composites are more difficult to analyze than isotropic materials and require more complex methods for predicting failure. NASA is seeking a method for …

Nanomechanics model for static equilibrium
… Those designed nanotubes are woven into fabric composites, which can be used in various military applications including body armors, armored vehicles, and infantry transportation vehicles because advanced nano-composites could be much lighter and stronger than current ones. Some example …

The effects of polymeric binders on the processability and properties of composites made by suspension prepregging
… the production of thermoplastic/carbon fiber composites via aqueous suspension prepregging. Suspension prepregging requires the use of a binder dispersant: i) to disperse the polymer particles so as to get good fiber-matrix distribution in the prepreg, and ii) to improve the handling …

An evaluation of the Iosipescu specimen for composite materials shear property measurement
… shear test for unidirectional and cross-ply composites is used to assess the uniformity of the shear stress field in the vicinity of the notch, and demonstrate the effect of the nonuniform stress field upon the strain gage measurements used for the determination of composite shear moduli. …

Processing of toughened cyanate ester matrix composites
… fiber, toughened cyanate ester prepreg was fabricated into composite panels for mechanical and physical testing. The cure cycle used to manufacture the composite laminates was developed with the aid of a process simulation model developed by Loos and Springer. In order to accurately simulate …

Multiscale Damage Modelling of Natural Fibre Composites
Natural fibre composites (NFCs) display several beneficial traits, including low density, renewability of sources, and full biodegradability when combined with polymers such as poly(lactic acid ). Environmental concerns and sustainability requirements have led to increased application of NFCs in …
