Abstract:This study thoroughly examines the mechanical properties of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs), motivated by the critical need for accurate composite property data in investigating fracture control measures for structures subjected to Barely Visible Impact Damage (BVID). We compared experimental results with manufacturer-stated values, focusing on discrepancies in fiber volume fraction and its impact on elastic modulus. Experimental findings showed an increase in elastic modulus to 190 GPa for 0° orienta… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
