TL;DR: In this paper, a modified Arcan test is used to determine the behavior of composites and hybrid bonded assemblies over a wide range of tensile-shear out-of-plane loadings.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the static behavior of a fibrous structure with a large number of twisted components is presented, and the axial stiffness of the structures has been predicted and good agreement with measured values is obtained.

TL;DR: In this article, the interlaminar fracture toughness of four marine composites has been investigated under static and dynamic loading conditions, where the focus was placed on the transfer of matrix toughness to the composite.

TL;DR: In this paper, a weighted elastomer ball is dropped from increasing heights onto rigidly supported panels until damage is detected, and a test developed to simulate the water impact (slamming) loading of sandwich boat structures is presented.

TL;DR: Two environmental factors, flow regime and channel width, explained significant proportions of variation in all three assemblages, potentially contributing to the observed spatial concordance between them and representing local environmental gradients along which these communities re-assemble after the wet season, according to niche rather than dispersal processes.
