The translaminar fracture toughness of high-performance polymer fibre composites and their carbon fibre hybrids Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
The translaminar fracture toughness is a key property that governs the damage tolerance and notch sensitivity of fibre-reinforced composites. Compact tension tests were performed to investigate the translaminar fracture toughness of composites reinforced with three types of high-performance polymer fibres: polyarylate (PAR), polybenzobisoxazole (PBO) and aramid fibre. A carbon fibre composite was used as the reference system. The propagation ...

Increasing the translaminar fracture toughness of carbon fibre composites by hybridising with high-performance polymer fibres Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The translaminar fracture toughness governs the damage tolerance and notch sensitivity of a composite material. A promising strategy to improve the translaminar fracture toughness is to hybridise brittle carbon fibres with tough fibres, such as high-performance polymer fibres. These fibres introduce an additional energy dissipating mechanism by fibrillating upon failure. However, the translaminar fracture toughness performance of the ...

Acoustic emission characterization of the fracture process in fibre reinforced concrete Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The present study occupies with the characterization of the fracture process of steel fibre reinforced concrete. Different acoustic emission indices are correlated with the accumulation of damage and the type of source. The amplitude distribution of the acquired signals is very sensitive to micro-cracking, while individual mechanisms like matrix cracking and fibre pull-out can be distinguished by the average frequency of the corresponding ...
