Damage mode identification in transverse crack tension specimens using acoustic emission and correlation with finite element progressive damage model (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd In this study, damage progression in unidirectional composite specimens is investigated. Transverse Crack Tension specimens are used to stimulate damage in a predetermined progressive sequence. Acoustic Emission (AE) registration...

Investigating the pre-damaged PZT sensors under impact traction (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 by the authors. Ships are usually under vibration, impact, and other kinds of static and dynamic loads. These loads arise from water flow across the hull or surfaces, the propeller cavitation, and so on. For optimal design purposes and reliabl...

Pseudo-ductility of unidirectional thin ply hybrid composites in longitudinal compression (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The compression response of unidirectional thin-ply carbon (C) standard thickness S-glass (SG) hybrid composites is presented. Gradual failure up to high
strain has been demonstrated for [SG1/(C1/SG1)17] and [SG1/(C2/SG1)17] hybrid configurations. T... Read More about Pseudo-ductility of unidirectional thin ply hybrid composites in longitudinal compression.

Quantifying the delamination of L-shaped composite laminates under low velocity impact using x-ray computed tomography (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Low velocity impact response and failure behavior of L-shaped composite laminates were investigated. The composite laminates with variable thickness, stacking sequences, and corner radius were manufactured using autoclave manufacturing method. Tests...

Core–shell PVA/gelatin nanofibrous scaffolds using co-solvent, aqueous electrospinning: Toward a green approach (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Electrospinning (ES) of gelatin often requires cytotoxic organic solvents or acidic environments, which deteriorate cell recognition sites. In this study, aqueous, non-toxic, co-solvent ES was performed to obtain core–s...

Notch insensitive orientation-dispersed pseudo-ductile thin-ply carbon/glass hybrid laminates (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Notch sensitivity, free edge delamination and brittle failure are limiting factors for the wider use of conventional composite laminates. In our previous study, a hybrid layup concept with the different materials blocked together but with disp...
