Abstract

The post-impact strength of composite materials is one of the main design parameters of aeronautical structures in terms of damage tolerance. During the low-velocity impact test, from a threshold energy, the laminate only partially returns the energy received during the impact [...]

RESUMEN: El uso de hidrógeno como fuente de energía es una estrategia prometedora para reemplazar los combustibles fósiles, además de las baterías y los biocombustibles. La industria aeroespacial europea ya está trabajando [...]

Abstract

It is essential to understand the behavior of composite laminates against fatigue crack initiation and growth in order to accurately predict component service life and to establish safe maintenance periods.

In this work, an extrapolation procedure to characterize the [...]

Abstract

The behaviour of composite materials under dynamic loading conditions has been a subject of research for the last two decades. When subjected to dynamic conditions, composite materials show a significant sensitivity to strain rate. This is critical for a correct simulation of the [...]
