Journal ArticleDOI
Finite element analysis of closed-cell aluminium foam under quasi-static loading
TL;DR: In this paper, a tetrakaidecahedral unit-cell model of closed-cell aluminium foam was used to evaluate the stiffness and mechanical response of this model under large strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical performance of heat/fire damaged novel flame retardant glass - reinforced epoxy composites
TL;DR: In this article, a glass-reinforced epoxy composites containing a phosphate-based intumescent and inherently flame retardant (cellulosic (Visil, Sateri) and phenol-formaldehyde (Kynol)) fibres have been fabricated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of intumescents on the burning behaviour of polyester-resin-containing composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of cone calorimetric experiments of a series of composites comprising a combination of glass reinforcing elements, selected intumescents (based on melamine phosphate), the flame retardant Visil fibre and selected unsaturated polyester resins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermo-mechanical Responses of Fiber-reinforced Epoxy Composites Exposed to High Temperature Environments. Part I: Experimental Data Acquisition
TL;DR: In this article, a series of papers on the thermo-mechanical responses of fiber-reinforced composites at elevated temperatures reports the exper- imental results required as input data in order to validate the kinetic, heat transfer, and thermodynamic models being developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards the design of sandwich panel composites with enhanced mechanical and thermal properties by variation of the in-plane Poisson's ratios
TL;DR: In this paper, failure of the honeycomb structures was simulated using a crack propagation method developed in-house and the cell-wall stress build up in the conventional honeycomb was calculated to be significantly reduced relative to the re-entrant honeycomb under (2D) hydrostatic loading.
