Journal ArticleDOI
Recycling carbon fibre reinforced polymers for structural applications: technology review and market outlook.
TL;DR: The major challenges for the sound establishment of a CFRP recycling industry and the development of markets for the recyclates are summarised; the potential for introducing recycled CFRPs in structural components is discussed, and likely promising applications are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physically based failure models and criteria for laminated fibre-reinforced composites with emphasis on fibre kinking. Part II: FE implementation
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D failure criteria for laminated fiber-reinforced composites, based on a physical model for each failure mode and considering non-linear matrix shear behavior, are developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fracture toughness of the tensile and compressive fibre failure modes in laminated composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the fracture toughness associated with fiber tensile failure and compressive fibre kinking in a T300/913 carbon-epoxy laminated composite are measured using compact tension and "compact compression" tests respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
On acoustic emission for failure investigation in CFRP: Pattern recognition and peak frequency analyses
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated failure in Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics CFRP using Acoustic Emission (AE) signals collected and post-processed for various test configurations: tension, Compact Tension (CT), Compact Compression (CC), Double Cantilever Beam (DCB), and four-point bend End Notched Flexure (4-ENF).
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of in situ strengths and matrix cracking in composites under transverse tension and in-plane shear
TL;DR: In this paper, a criterion for matrix failure of laminated composite plies in transverse tension and in-plane shear is developed by examining the mechanics of transverse matrix crack growth.
