Experimental and numerical investigation on the flexural response of GFRP‐reinforced SFRC beams

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In order to address the challenges related to the deformability and ductility of concrete beams reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, an alternative solution involving steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has been proposed. In the present study, a total of seven beams—including one steel‐reinforced reference beam and six glass

Infrared Thermographic Assessment of Fatigue Behavior in Bolted Composite Joints

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the temperature evolution of bolted thick glass fiber reinforced polymer composites during fatigue testing. Three different adherend thicknesses (8, 10, and 12 mm) and three different bolt tightening torques (30, 40, and 50 N·$$ \cdotp $$m were considered to evaluate the effects of adherend thickness and bolt tightening

Wind Turbine Blade Crack Detection and Assessment in Images Using Machine Learning

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT As the wind energy industry matures, inspection of wind turbine blades (WTBs) is shifting from a manual process involving rope access and grading of damage, towards unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photography and artificial intelligence‐aided processing of data.

Quantifying Fiber Bridging in Mode I Fatigue Delamination of CFRP/GFRP Hybrid Laminates Using a Superposed Traction–Separation Model

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 3605-3615, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Hybrid CFRP/GFRP laminates offer an attractive balance between mechanical performance, damage tolerance, and cost efficiency. However, fiber bridging during mode I delamination increases crack‐growth resistance while masking the intrinsic fatigue behavior of the material. This study applies a traction–separation‐based superposition approach to

Performance of Glass Fiber Composites With Plastic‐Waste Pyrolysis Char as Filler

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 16, Page 14769-14787, 20 August 2026.
Valorisation of mixed plastic waste into carbonaceous char via pyrolysis, its integration as a microfiller in epoxy/E‐glass (GFRP) laminates, and characterisation to assess composite performance as a function of filler loading. ABSTRACT Plastic pyrolysis offers circular solutions for mixed plastic waste but leaves a carbonaceous char that is often ...

Experimental and numerical research on shear performance of GFRP bar reinforced seawater sea-sand concrete deep beams without stirrups

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Using glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars to reinforce seawater sea-sand concrete (SWSSC) is a feasible way to replace traditional concrete structures. Thus, this paper aims to understand the shear response of GFRP bar-reinforced SWSSC (GFRP-SWSSC)
