Reversing Fatigue Damage in Carbon Fiber–Thermoplastic Composites Using Localized Plasma Heating

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 10, Page 8990-9001, 20 May 2026.
Schematic overview of the plasma‐assisted repair strategy for fatigue‐damaged short fiber carbon fiber/ABS composites. Pristine specimens are subjected to cyclic fatigue loading inducing damage. Localized plasma heating softens the thermoplastic matrix, enabling healing and restoring mechanical performance. Tensile testing is used to quantify recovery.

Durability assessment of GFRP bars in concrete exposed to field environment based on interlaminar shear strength

Case Studies in Construction Materials
The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) can be an indicator of the deterioration of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. This property is normally evaluated by using a sample with a length equal to four to seven times the bar diameter, which can be

Experimental Investigation of the Eccentric Performance of Columns Reinforced by Steel and GFRP Bars and Strengthened with GFRP NSM Bars and Mat Techniques

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials
Abstract An experimental program was conducted to study the eccentric behavior of columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP), steel bars, or a hybrid of both. Two strengthening methods were employed: GFRP mats and near surface-mounted (NSM) GFRP bars.
