Abstract:Due to their potential of decreasing weight and emission, the importance of lightweight designs with carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) in the aeronautic and automotive industry is increasing constantly. However, the formation of cracks and delaminations is one of the most prominent failure mechanisms during mechanical loading of CFRP, significantly influencing the material’s behaviour. The effects range from no effect on the structure up to complete failure of the part. In order to assess the severity of… 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.
