Flexural and shear strengthening of RC elements

, 2013
In a recent experimental program dealing with the Near Surface Mounted (NSM) technique for the flexural strengthening of continuous reinforced concrete (RC) slabs strips, the increase of load carrying and the moment redistribution was lower than the expected values.

The Effect of Graphene on the Fatigue Response and Failure Mechanism of Composite Materials: A Review

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 933-962, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This review investigates the influence of graphene on the fatigue performance of polymer‐based composites, focusing on both unreinforced matrices and fiber‐reinforced composite laminates. Graphene materials, including nanoplatelets, graphene oxide, and hybrid nanostructures, offer exceptional mechanical, electrical, and barrier properties that

Interfacial Chemistry Behind Damage Monitoring in Glass Fiber‐Reinforced Composites: Attempts and Perspectives

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 2925-2954, 20 February 2026.
Role of the modifications at the interface in glass fiber reinforced composites for damage monitoring. ABSTRACT Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRPs) are widely used in structural applications but degrade over time due to internal damage. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) enables early damage detection, improving reliability and reducing maintenance

Balancing Sustainability and Performance: Bio‐Based Epoxy Systems for Durable Flax Fiber‐Reinforced Composites

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 3154-3172, 20 February 2026.
Bio‐based epoxy systems enabling sustainable, durable, and high‐performance flax fiber composites. ABSTRACT Three bio‐based epoxy systems—Polar Bear, Green Turtle, and Plankton—featuring bio‐carbon contents of 28% to 70%, were combined with recyclable (Recyclamine R101) and non‐recyclable hardeners to produce flax fiber‐reinforced biocomposites.

Cellulose Nanocrystal–Reinforced Polyvinyl Acetate Nanolatex for Viscose Fabric Prepregs and Composite Materials

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 7, February 15, 2026.
Fabrication of composite. ABSTRACT In this study, polyvinyl acetate (PVAc)‐based nanocomposite latexes containing varying loads of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), a sodium salt of sulfated nanocrystalline cellulose, were synthesized and utilized as a matrix for fabricating fiber‐reinforced composites with viscose fabric.

Low‐Velocity Impact Response of Nacre‐Inspired E‐Glass/Epoxy Composites With Varying Platelet Sizes

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 2781-2798, 10 February 2026.
Impact response of nacre‐inspired E‐glass/epoxy composites with different platelet sizes. ABSTRACT This study explores the low‐velocity impact behavior of nacre‐inspired biomimetic platelet composites (NIBPC), using low‐cost E‐glass fiber in chopped strand mat (CSM) form as reinforcement and epoxy resin as the matrix.

Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Performance of Plasma‐Assisted Hybrid Friction Stir Welded Dissimilar Aluminum–Copper Joints

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 3, 4 February 2026.
Plasma‐assisted hybrid friction stir welding of dissimilar AlCu joints employs localized plasma preheating to balance heat input and enhance plastic flow. The optimized process reduces axial force by up to 35%, refines the microstructure, and achieves ≈96% joint efficiency.
