Modelling environmental effects on fracture damage of natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites
… aged by hydrothermal ageing by immersing test specimens in distilled water at respective temperatures of 23oC, 40oC and 60oC for a maximum period of 6 months. At regular intervals tests were conducted to assess the retention of the mechanical properties. Tests conducted included tensile …

Interfacial Adhesion Evaulation of Uniaxial fiber-Reinforced-Polymer Composites by Vibration Damping of Cantilever Beam
… glass fiber reinforced polymers. Common adhesion tests include contact angle measurements, tension or compression of specially shaped blocks of polymer containing a single fiber, the single fiber pull-out test, single-fiber fragmentation test, short beam shear and transverse tensile tests, and the …

Fracture analysis of carbon fiber/epoxy matrix interface through microbond and cruciform tests
… In this project, we investigate numerically two tests, used to characterize the normal and shear interfacial failure of a carbon fiber/epoxy matrix system. The first part of this study is devoted to the simulation of the microbond test, in which, a drop of epoxy deposited on a carbon fiber is …

Multiscale characterization of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy composites
… adhesion was characterized using a single fiber microbond test procedure, and the onset and density of transverse cracking events in cross-ply composites were measured using acoustic emission. Additional characterizations of the epoxy mechanical properties, thermal properties, and degree of cure …

Multiscale Damage Modelling of Natural Fibre Composites
… model development coupled with experimental tests at various scales. Computational multiscale modelling techniques are specifically meant to deal with the multiple scale nature of material failures, and have been applied to the failure of composites. Hence, with respect to dealing with NFC …
