(Springer-Verlag, 1998-08)The response to mechanical loads of unidirectional commingled warp knitted and woven glass fibre reinforced polyethylene terephthalate laminates has been characterized. The mechanical properties of the two materials were ...
-
(Sage Publications, 1998-10-01)The Mode I, Mode II and mixed mode (Mode I:II ratios of 4:1, 1:1 and 1:4) fracture behavior of novel textile glass fiber reinforced polyethylene terephthalate (GF/PET) laminates has been investigated. The laminates were ...

(International Energy Initiative, 1999)In recent years the increasing traffic volumes on the world’s highways have indicated shortcomings in the existing empirical procedures that are used to assess road building materials. As a result, new fundamental ...

Attenuation of ultrasonic Rayleigh–Lamb waves by small horizontal defects in thin aluminium plates (Elsevier, 1999-04)The present paper illustrates how horizontal symmetric crack-like defects can be detected rapidly in thin isotropic plates by using longitudinal ultrasonic waves. The use of such longitudinal waves offers the potential of ...

(Taylor and Francis, 1998)Scanning electron microscopy was used to identify fractographic features that are characteristic of different modes of interlaminar fracture. The cusp angle and the amount of fiber pull-out on the fracture surface can be ...

(Wiley Blackwell (Blackwell Publishing), 1999-01)The contemporary Formula 1 racing car makes extensive use of advanced composite materials in its construction. The design, manufacture, and ultimate performance under compression of composite suspension push-rods that ...

(Elsevier, 1990-01)The introduction to this paper describes a general finite element model used to calculate opening mode stress intensity factors (KI) along the front of an irregular planar crack. Crack advance is calculated as a function ...
-
(Elsevier, 1995-01)Multidirectional laminates of the continuously reinforced carbon/epoxy composite T300H/914C have been tested under static and fatigue conditions by the use of fracture mechanics coupons. Loadings of pure mode I, pure mode ...

(Wiley, 1999)The present paper illustrates how embedded vertical defects can be detected rapidly in sheet metal by using longitudinal ultrasonic waves. Computational methods are used to validate analytical predictions of the reflection ...
