“…Fibers can be incorporated directly in some processes but more often are converted into fabrics that may be uni-/bi-/multi-axial, woven, knitted, braided, needle-punched, or simply chopped and bound into a random-oriented fabric. Textile engineering is an important aspect of optimizing composite manufacturing, and 3D preforms are increasingly being used to align fibers exactly where they will provide the best properties [ 132 ].…”

Composites made from fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are a crucial and highly adaptable category of materials widely utilized in numerous fields. Their flexibility and the range of criteria for classification enable the creation of tailored solutions to address distinct requirements in sectors such as civil engineering, aerospace, automotive, and marine, among others. The distinguishing characteristics of FRP composites include the type of reinforcing fiber used, the composition of the matrix material, the employed manufacturing process, the orientation of the fibers, and the specific end-use application. These classification variables offer engineers a versatile structure to determine and select the most appropriate materials and production techniques for their specific needs. Furthermore, the present study aims to reunite the criteria of classification for FRPs and specific manufacturing technologies of FRPs, such as conventional ones (matched die molding, contact molding), automated ones (filament winding, tape lay-up, and fiber placement), and advanced ones (electrospinning and additive manufacturing),with the chronological development of FRPs, insights on material characteristics, and comprehensive design guidelines based on their behavior in different environments of use.

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates are crucial in various sectors like aerospace, navigation, automotive, wind power infrastructures because their high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Their susceptibility to impact damage could cause severe structural failures such as delamination, fiber rupture, and matrix fractures which are big risk for public safety. This research focuses structural behavior and failure mechanisms of GFRP laminates under low-velocity impacts to improve industry safety, reliability and performance. Impact experiments were carried out using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) on panels configured in various fiber orientations, specifically [(0/90)s, (+45/-45)s, and (0/90/+45/-45)s]. Force-time history and impactor velocity, were captured and analyzed to assess the material's resilience and mechanical properties are main key experiments aspects. The purpose of the study to experimental and numerical approach to explore how GFRP laminates react to low-velocity impacts using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB). Panels in various fiber orientations were tested with impact energies ranging from 1 J to 10 J by using advanced modeling techniques such as progressive damage mechanics, cohesive zone models, and virtual crack closure were implemented in the ABAQUS/Explicit framework to assess internal damages.

The influence of fiber volume content on the mechanical properties of two-dimensional (2D) plain carbon-fiber woven composites is a crucial concern that necessitates immediate attention for large-scale applications in wind turbine blades. In this study, various mechanical tests were conducted on 2D plain carbon-fiber woven composites with different fiber volume contents, and the influences of fiber volume content on the mechanical properties and failure mode of the composite material were analyzed. Using carbon fiber as reinforcement and epoxy resin as a matrix, three types of plates with fiber volume contents of 47%, 50% and 53% were fabricated by using autoclave technology. The tensile, compression and interlaminar shear tests of the two-dimensional woven composites were carried out using MTS series testing machines. The influences of fiber volume content on tensile strength and modulus, compressive strength and modulus, interlaminar shear strength and shear strain energy were investigated. Additionally, the progressive damage development of these two-dimensional woven composites under different stress states was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that the tensile strength and compressive strength increase almost linearly with the increase in fiber volume content, while the interlaminar shear strength increases slowly at low fiber volume content and rapidly at high fiber volume content. The tensile modulus of elasticity slightly increases as the fiber volume content increases, whereas the compressive modulus remains stable at low fiber volume content but gradually decreases at high fiber volume content. With the increase in fiber volume content, the shear strain energy of the specimen increases significantly.
