Carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites represent a class of advanced materials that integrate the exceptional strength and stiffness of carbon fibres with the lightweight nature and ...

De-bonding at the fiber matrix interface, fiber and matrix fracture, and fiber pullout are involved in the propagation of cracks in composite lamellae. The diagram illustrates these processes for a ...

Knitted high performance fibers as reinforcement are interesting for loaded parts, due to their drapability and the possibility of waste free near net shape production methods. Additionally, a ...

Excessive resistance against the movement of adjacent plies, or ply-ply friction, can lead to process-induced defects during hot press forming of thermoplastic composite laminates. To avoid the ...

In the composites industry, fiber is a significant topic of conversation. Fiber sizing rarely gets a mention. It is difficult, however, to overstate sizing’s importance. Without it, the fiber could ...
