A micromechanical model of cross-over fiber bridging is developed for the prediction of macroscopic mixed-mode bridging laws (traction-separation laws). The model is based on non-linear beam theory and takes into account debonding between fiber and matrix as well as buckling of fibers in compression...

Dry peel plies are generally used in composite manufacturing by liquid moulding techniques in the maritime sector. They allow excess resin to bleed through its weaved structure, keeping the surfaces clean, and in certain cases with the required roughness until ready for bonding. However, these plies...

HNBR was analyzed following low temperature storage (between 0 °C and −50 °C) in order to measure the effects of cold crystallization during exposure close to, and below, the glass transition temperature (Tg). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and...
