  • Experimental Classification of Intralaminar Matrix Compression Damage Propagation in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers

    Creator:
    Daniels, Mitchell Alan
    Abstract:
    Composites often are able to carry more load after damage due to the structure of laminates. In addition, damage can be difficult to detect in composites compared to homogeneous materials. Understanding the behavior of composite material after damage is vital for composite structural design. Currently, experimental methods exist for classifying...

  • Design, analysis, and validation of composite c-channel beams

    Creator:
    Koski, William C.
    Abstract:
    A lightweight carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) c-channel beam was previously designed using analytical theory and finite element analysis and subsequently manufactured through a pultrusion process. Physical testing revealed the prototype did not meet the bending and torsional stiffness of the beam model. An investigation revealed that the manufactured prototype...
