Journal ArticleDOI
Can carbon nanotubes grown on fibers fundamentally change stress distribution in a composite
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report results of a modelling study indicating that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown on fibers are effective in suppressing stress concentrations at the fiber/matrix interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tensile behaviour of stainless steel fibre/epoxy composites with modified adhesion
TL;DR: In this article, the tensile behavior of unidirectional and cross-ply composites reinforced with ductile stainless steel fibres and modified adhesion to the epoxy matrix was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the CELC Technical Section collaborated with its European scientific committee CSE to produce the first scientific work on natural fiber composite solutions, "Flax and Hemp fibres: a natural solution for the composite industry".
Journal ArticleDOI
Maximising the hybrid effect in unidirectional hybrid composites
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for unidirectional composites was extended to hybrid composites to analyse the synergetic effect, called the hybrid effect, which predicts individual fiber breaks and interactions among clusters of fiber breaks.
Journal Article
Tensile behaviour of stainless steel fibre/epoxy composites with modified adhesion Part A Applied science and manufacturing
TL;DR: In this article, the tensile behavior of unidirectional and cross-ply composites reinforced with ductile stainless steel fibres and modified adhesion to the epoxy matrix was investigated.
