High-speed imaging for online micrographs of polymer composites in tribological investigation Universiteit Gent
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 ...
ACOUSTIC EMISSION FOR IDENTIFICATION OF THE DOMINANT STRESS COMPONENT IN POLYMER COMPOSITES AT EARLY LOADS. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites are broadly used in engineering applications. Their inherent anisotropy due to different fiber orientations can be considered an advantage since the strength of the component can be designated in preferential loading directions. However, this anisotropy leads to multiaxial stress conditions, complicating their damage sequence and mechanical response. Identification of these multiaxial conditions ...

Thermo-mechanical modelling of UD composites to investigate self-heating and thermal softening effect of polymer matrix Universiteit Gent
The mechanical performance of Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composites (FRPC) relies highly on the nonlinear thermomechanical behaviour of the polymer matrix with rate- and temperature-dependency. In particular, high strain rate loading can increase the temperature due to self-heating. In this work, a fully coupled thermomechanical FEM-based framework is developed. A constitutive material model is developed to accurately capture the polymer matrix ...
Multi-scale continuum mechanics modelling of fibre-reinforced polymer composites Universiteit Gent
Multi-Scale Continuum Mechanics Modelling of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art review on the application and use of multi-scale modelling to predict damage mechanisms in composite materials. Following a logical structure the book is divided into three main parts. Part I discusses all the “ingredients” necessary to start with multi-scale modelling, limited to elastic property prediction. This ...

Effect of interleaved polymer nanofibers on the properties of glass and carbon fiber composites Universiteit Gent
Electrospun (polymeric) nanofibers are proved to be one of the most successful toughening techniques for improving the damage resistance of structural fiber-reinforced polymer composite laminates. In the past decade, we have seen a steady increase in published research papers and industrial interest on this topic. In this chapter, we highlight the major findings related to the use of electrospun nanofiber toughening veils together with a concise ...
