Journal ArticleDOI

Use of infrared thermography to investigate the fatigue behavior of a carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the fatigue behavior of a braided carbon fiber polymeric composite plate and used a thermographic approach to rapidly determine the composite high cycle fatigue strength.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-destructive assessment of the fatigue strength and damage progression of satin woven fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used infrared thermography to assess the critical damage states, and to capture the evolving damage processes, of 5HS and 8HS woven carbon fiber/epoxy composites subjected to uniaxial in-plane tensile quasi-static and fatigue loading.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of infrared thermography for the characterization of damage in braided carbon fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used infrared thermography to assess the fatigue behavior and the corresponding damage states of a textile polymeric composite plate, as a prerequisite step in the development of damage based life prediction models for such advanced composite materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a physics-based multi-scale progressive damage model for assessing the durability of wind turbine blades

TL;DR: In this article, a physics-based multi-scale progressive damage model was developed for predicting the durability of wind turbine blade structures, coupled with a continuum damage mechanics (CDM) framework, for evaluating sub-critical damage evolution and stiffness degradation of the blade structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting evolution of ply cracks in composite laminates subjected to biaxial loading

TL;DR: In this paper, an energy-based model is developed to predict the evolution of subcritical matrix crack density in symmetric multidirectional composite laminates for the case of multiaxial loading.
