Mechanical Behaviour of Vacuum‐Infused GFRP Composites at Elevated Temperatures—Influence of Fibre Architecture

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of fibre architecture on the mechanical properties of vacuum‐infused glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at elevated temperatures (ET). Laminates with three different fibre configurations—unidirectional (UD), bidirectional 0°/90° cross‐ply (BD), and ±45° off‐axis angle‐ply (OA) – were tested in ...

Theoretical and Numerical Study of the Flexural Behaviour of BFRP RC Beams

open access: yesEngineering Transactions, 2016
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have been commercially available in civil engineering in the last twenty years. Due to their mechanical and physical properties, the behaviour of FRP reinforced concrete (RC) members is significantly different to that ...

A Design Method to Exploit Synergies Between Fiber-Reinforce Composites and Additive Manufactured Processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This paper proposes a design method for devices composed of long fiber-reinforced composites (FRC) and additive manufactured (AM) parts. Both FRC and AM processes have similar application characteristics: suitable for small production volumes, additive ...

Water‐Borne Erosion of Reinforced Polymer Composites: Application to Shallow Offshore Marine Environment

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Comparison of experimental and model‐predicted erosion rates for carbon fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) under low‐velocity (2 m/s) and at varying angles and sand concentrations (0.0, 0.05, 0.4 g/L). The results demonstrate good agreement between experimental data and model predictions across different erosive ...

Numerical Investigation and Cost Analysis of FRP-Concrete Unidirectional Hybrid Slabs

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2021
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has been commonly used to reinforce concrete structures. The kinds of FRP demonstrate an effective alternative to various methods of reinforcement in concrete structures subjected to bad environmental conditions which cause
