An experimental investigation into crushing behavior of radially stiffened GFRP composite tubes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
State-of-the-art studies of the crushing of composite tubes reveal different factors affecting their crashworthiness. Of those factors, the geometrical property of the tube is of great interest. In the current study, four ...
A comparative analysis of experimental and numerical investigations of composite tubes under axial and lateral loading
(2010 , Article)
Quasi-static tests are performed in order to determine the crash behavior of composite tubes. The specimens are made from woven fiber carbon/epoxy. The crash experiments show that the tubes crushed in a progressive manner ...
Enhancing mode I inter-laminar fracture toughness of aluminum/fiberglass fiber-metal laminates by combining surface pre-treatments
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
This paper investigates the influence of multiple surface treatment, including chemical etching and plasma treatments, on the mode I inter-laminar fracture toughness () of aluminum/fiberglass fiber-metal laminates. Laser ...
Effect of water absorption on the mechanical properties of long date palm leaf fiber reinforced epoxy composites
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
This paper examines the effect of the first 24 hours water absorption on the mechanical properties and morphology of the long date palm leave fiber (DPLF) and unidirectional reinforced epoxy composites. The mechanical ...
