Recent advances in fibre-hybrid composites: materials selection, opportunities and applications KU Leuven
© 2018, © 2018 Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining and ASM International Published by Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Institute and ASM International. Fibre-hybrid composites are composed of two or more fibre types in a matrix. Such composites offer more design freedom than non-hybrid composites. The aim is often to alleviate the drawbacks of one of the fibre types while keeping the benefits of the other. The hybridisation can also ...
Voids in fiber-reinforced polymer composites: A review on their formation, characteristics, and effects on mechanical performance KU Leuven
© The Author(s) 2018. Voids, the most studied type of manufacturing defects, form very often in processing of fiber-reinforced composites. Due to their considerable influence on physical and thermomechanical properties of composites, they have been extensively studied, with the focus on three research tracks: void formation, characteristics, and mechanical effects. Investigation of voids in composites started around half a century ago and is ...
