▼ For this thesis, research was performed on CFRP bonded
composite lap-joints with one and two continuous laminas through
the lap. Composite wraps used to retrofit existing structures use
lap joints to maintain their integrity. The use of composites for
retrofitting structures has many advantages over traditional
methods, such as steel jacketing, and is becoming more widely
accepted in the structural engineering industry. While much
literature exists documenting the performance of composite wraps as
a whole when applied to concrete columns, less information is
available on the behavior of the lap-joint of the wrap. Developing
a better understanding of how the lap-joint behaves will help
researchers further understand composite column wraps. This
research sought to determine what affect continuous middle laminas
may have on the stiffness of lap joints and whether or not stress
concentrations exist in the lap-joint due to a change in
stiffness.

▼ Most of the Indian buildings are vulnerable to
seismic action due to improper reinforcement detailing within the
beam-column joints. The reinforced concrete frames without seismic
provision are often characterized by an unsatisfactory structural
behaviour due to low available ductility and lack of strength which
in turn induces global failure mechanism. Hence it is very much
essential to retrofit the vulnerable building to cope up for the
next damaging earthquake. In the present work, experimental and
analytical investigations have been carried out to study the
structural behaviour of columns strengthened by Glass Fiber
Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP),
Reinforced Concrete jacketing (RC), Steel plate, Steel strip,
Corrugated steel jacketing and Ferro cement jacketing of beam
-column joint. The entire study was divided into 5 distinct phases.
In the first phase, the performance of Reinforced Concrete columns
subjected to cyclic loading is studied to determine the desirable
percentage of longitudinal reinforcement. In the second phase, six
experiments were conducted to find out the effectiveness of using
Fibre reinforced polymer jackets for enhancing the seismic shear
strength and ductility of column. In the third phase, nine
experiments were conducted to find out the effectiveness of using
Reinforced concrete jacketing. In the fourth phase, seven
experiments were conducted to find out the effectiveness of using
steel plate, steel strip and corrugated steel jacketing of column
for enhancing the seismic shear strength and ductility. In the
fifth phase, four experiments were conducted to find out the
effectiveness of Ferro cement jacketing of column for enhancing the
seismic shear strength and ductility. Comparison of load carrying
capacity, energy dissipation capacity and ductility of the
specimens retrofitted with CFRP, GFRP, RC, Steel and Ferro cement
jacketing were made.

▼ The broad area of this research is machining of
Polymer Matrix newlineComposite (PMC). Composite materials can be
defined as materials newlineconsisting of two or more constituents
that are combined at the macroscopic newlinelevel and are not
soluble in each other. Composites are composed of two
newlinephases, namely matrix and reinforcement. PMCs have a matrix
which is made newlineof a thermoset or a thermoplastic polymeric
resin. The most common types of newlinereinforcement used for PMC
are strong and brittle fibers incorporated into a newlinesoft and
ductile polymeric matrix. Hence PMCs are generally referred to as
newlineFiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP). FRP composites have been
steadily replacing metals as choice newlineengineering materials
for various applications because of their very high newlinespecific
strength and stiffness. Among all the FRPs, Carbon Fiber Reinforced
newlinePlastic (CFRP) is much sought after material because of its
light weight, very newlinehigh strength and high stiffness.
Recently, polymeric nanocomposites have newlinefound greater
application in the area of aerospace and defence sectors. In FRP
composite laminates, when nano particles are dispersed in
newlinethe polymer matrix, the composite may be referred to as
nanocomposite or newlinehybrid composite. CFRP nanocomposites are
the hybrid of CFRP composites newlinein which the reinforcement has
at least one of its dimensions in the nanometer newlinerange. These
nanocomposites show great promise not only in terms of superior
mechanical properties, but also in terms of superior thermal,
newlineelectrical, optical, and other properties. In general, there
are two types of nano newlinereinforcements, namely Carbon Nano
Fibers (CNF) and Carbon Nano Tubes newline(CNT) which are used in
the matrix of the CFRP nanocomposites. Even newlinethough the FRP
components are mostly produced near net shape, machining is
newlinefrequently required in order to bring the component into
dimensional newlinerequirements and prepare it for assembly. Out of
all the machining operations, drilling is the most frequently
newlineemployed operation for FRP composite laminates owing to the
need for newlinejoining structures.

▼ Composite materials are increasingly used in aerospace industries as primary structure because of their low weight, high strength and stiffness, as well as resistance to corrosion. Adhesively bonded joints are one of the best options for joining composite materials. However, adhesive bonds are
subject to damage such as adhesive defects, e.g. disbonds, and cohesive defects, e.g. porosity. Ultrasonic guided wave techniques are regarded as promising methods for bond condition inspection. Ultrasonic guided waves can travel long distances without too much attenuation. The large number of propagating modes that correspond to different displacement distributions provides the possibility to characterize different types of defects. Adhesive defects are the focus of this thesis.
The objective of this thesis is to extend recent research on inspection of isotropic adhesive bonds to composite adhesive bonds. The mode conversion that occurs at waveguide transitions will be studied. Analysis methods that are similar to those used with isotropic materials are employed and their performance will be evaluated. The similarities and differences when selecting effective modes for inspection of isotropic and anisotropic materials will be studied.
Challenges associated with inspection of bonded region can be summarized as finding a mode sensitive to adhesive defects and successfully exciting that mode. Mode selection takes both of these aspects into consideration.
A simplified skin-stringer system is considered. Both skin and stringer are
carbon fiber reinforced polymer with a [0/45/90/-45]S2 stacking sequence. Dispersion analysis is conducted on skin and bonded region waveguides. A wave structure based method gives the candidate modes and frequencies that are sensitive to adhesive defects. Wave structure matching and the normal mode expansion method are utilized to study the mode conversion at waveguide transitions. Mode selection is carried out based on the requirements of sensitivity and excitability.
Further optimization is necessary for practical reasons. The attenuation and skewing propagation direction could affect the inspection considerably. The choices for mode selection have been further narrowed down by choosing modes in the low frequency range and having small skew angles.
Finite element simulation performed to demonstrate the excitation of an effective mode shows that the resultant displacement field in the bonded region satisfies the requirement of having a large in-plane displacement at the interface.
Experiments have been conducted on the adhesively bonded skin-stringer with artificial defects. Defects are simulated by inserting Teflon film between the skin and the adhesive layer. Experimental results show that the effective modes have good sensitivity to the adhesive defects while another mode that is expected to have poor sensitivity to the defect does not show the capability to detect the defects. One optimal mode detected bonds in terms of frequency content. The other optimal mode could distinguish the good bond…

▼ Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an important tool assessing environmental impacts of the entire life cycle of a product or service. It provides an alternative method to enable reducing
carbon emission and embodied energy (EE). The purpose of this study is to use LCA to compare two different structural materials used as reinforcement in a concrete bridge. The two materials are conventional steel reinforcement and
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP). The results show that FRP
reinforced bridge produces 50% less
carbon dioxide and requires 59% less EE throughout all the stages of LCA based on predicted equal life-span of two bridge applications.

▼ The use of
fiber reinforced polymers (FRP's) for structural repair or retrofit has increased significantly in the last decade, with adoption for civil infrastructure occurring only in the last 20 years. These products are most often used to increase the capacity of damaged or deteriorated structures. Much research has been performed in the arena of testing of various FRP's bonded to both concrete and masonry substrates, the majority of which focusing on three areas; flexural strengthening, in-plane shear strengthening, and mechanical anchoring. Anchorage is commonly the limiting factor in the application of FRP's, due to the inability of the edge of the
polymer matrix to reliably extend beyond a point of zero-interfacial stress. Where interfacial stresses exist and the FRP is terminated localized disbondment often occurs, these localized failures then propagate across the entire bond of the structural system. Various mechanical termination details have been tested to mitigate the potential failure modes near the ends of the fabric. There, however, has been very limited research performed on the behavior of dowels which are installed parallel to the FRP fabric and splayed onto the FRP fabric matrix. In this research the mechanical properties of
carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) dowels with a parallel orientation to uniaxial
carbon fabric are experimentally tested to determine the tensile capacity of "dowel to splay" CFRP connections and to discover any dominant failure modes.

▼ I dagsläget är de flesta broar i Sverige tillverkade med betong eller stål. Dessa broar är många gånger förknippade med stora kostnader som ofta beror på underhåll och reparation. FRP, som står för Fiber Reinforced Polymer, är ett relativt nytt material i bärande stommar men är ett väl etablerat material i förstärkningssammanhang. I Europa och i synnerhet Nederländerna finns det flertal broar byggda i FRP. Men på grund av brist på normer och regelverk att luta sig emot sker det sällan någon form av brokonstruktion med FRP i Sverige. Detta examensarbete syftar till att undersöka befintliga normer och studera hur materialet FRP används vid förstärkning och konstruktion av broar. Vidare syftar även arbetet till att undersöka egenskaperna hos FRP som byggmaterial och jämföra det med konventionella material som stål och betong. FRP, också benämnd fiberkomposit, är ett kompositmaterial som kan sammanställas på flera olika sätt. Genom olika material som kombineras och olika tillverkningsprocesser som används kan man på så sätt ge individuell utformning till materialet för dess användning. Fördelarna med FRP är många, men i allmänhet har det god styrka, god beständighet samtidigt som det har en låg vikt. Detta resulterar i att inom brokonstruktion så ger det strukturen en minskad egenvikt, vilket i sin tur underlättar en mängd olika saker. Detta arbete visar på att FRP-material har fördelaktiga egenskaper och kan i vissa situationer vara mer gynnsamt att använda än stål eller betong. Dock som tidigare påpekat saknas det specifika Eurokoder för detta material. Däremot är vi säkra på att introduktionen av en ny Eurokod samt med uppmuntran från myndigheter kommer användningen av FRP inom brokonstruktion utan tvekan öka.
At present, most bridges in Sweden are made with concrete or steel. These bridges are often associated with high costs, which often depend on maintenance and repair. FRP, which stands for Fiber Reinforced Polymer, is a relatively new material in load-bearing structures but is a well- established material in the context of reinforcement. In Europe and in particular the Netherlands, there are several bridges built in FRP. But due to a lack of norms and regulations to lean against, there is rarely any kind of FRP bridge construction in Sweden. The aim of this thesis is to examine existing norms and study how the material FRP is used in the reinforcement and construction of bridges. Furthermore, this thesis also aims to investigate the properties of FRP as building material and compare it with conventional materials such as steel and concrete. FRP, also called fiber-composite, is a composite material that can be assembled in several different ways. Through various materials that are combined and different manufacturing processes used, one can thus provide individual designs for the material. The benefits of FRP are many, but generally it has good strength, good durability while having a low weight. This results in that within bridge construction, it gives the structure a reduced self-weight, which in…

▼ Corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete
structures is one of the biggest challenges faced by the civil
construction industry today. In reinforced concrete structures,
corrosion of steel reinforcement due to harsh environmental
conditions considerably reduces the durability and life span of
these structures. To overcome this corrosion problem, many new
techniques have been tried and found to be either expensive or
ineffective. Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials in the form
of solid bars has been successfully tried as a substitute for steel
reinforcement in concrete structures. Considerable research has
been carried out to study the flexural and shear behaviour of FRP
reinforced slender concrete beams. However, very little effort has
been taken to study the behaviour of Reinforced Concrete (RC) deep
beams reinforced with FRP rebars. This work is an attempt to study
the shear behaviour of RC deep beams reinforced with Glass Fiber
Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) web reinforcement. The thirteen deep
beams were cast with and without GFRP web reinforcement and were
tested in this work. The testing was done in two stages - in the
first stage, i.e. in Series-I, nine deep beams were tested with a
shear span to effective depth ratio of 0.72 and the results showed
a substantial increase in the ultimate shear load carrying capacity
for deep beams reinforced with GFRP web reinforcement when compared
to those without web reinforcement. Considering this significant
increase, four more deep beams were cast in the second stage i.e.
Series-II and were tested with a shear span to effective depth
ratio of 1.08. Finally, after analysis of the experimental results,
a design equation was formulated to predict the shear carrying
capacity of GFRP web reinforced deep beams. The results obtained by
using this equation were found to be acceptable and so, this
equation may be adopted for predicting the shear load capacity of
deep beams reinforced with GFRP web reinforcement and loaded within
a small shear span to depth ratio.

▼ Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement
has been studied as an alternative to steel reinforcement due to
steel's high susceptibility to corrosion in bridge girders. The use
of deicing salts on roads during extreme cold is the primary cause
of the corrosive environment due to salt percolation through
cracks. This research manifests the flexural behavior of
carbon
fiber polymer reinforced beams in prestressed and non-prestressed
conditions as well as the variation of the behavior from
conventional steel
reinforced beams including the design procedure
of a prestressed CFRP box section beam through a case study.Unlike
steel, CFRP has different stress versus strain relationship -
linear without a definite yield point. A review of literature is
done regarding the history, properties, applications, and
researches in this field. A comparative study is done between the
behavior of CFRP
reinforced beams using previously tested
rectangular and decked bulb T-beams. The study also focuses on the
field of application, guidelines, and provisions in different parts
of the world, design procedure, characteristics and weaknesses of
the material, handling of CFRP in the field, and its design.The
application of CFRP as the main reinforcement is scarce because of
its brittleness and limited research. However, the strength and
lightness make this material ideal for use in the construction
industry. It is important that these beams have adequate ductility
to prevent sudden failure. Ductility of similar types of beams with
conventional and CFRP materials are studied and compared through
deformability index. Several methods of calculating ductility are
discussed and an ACI method is selected to find the ductility of
each beam and a comparative study is done. The behavior of
prestressed CFRP tendon is examined when it is used as an
alternative to the conventional steel tendon through a case study
relating different provisions of code through the design of a
prestressed CFRP box section beam over the Ottawa
river.

▼ This thesis presents the findings of a research study that was conducted to assess the effect of moderately elevated temperatures, up to 50 °C, on the bond behavior of steel beams strengthened with externally bonded
carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. In the first phase of the research, five steel-CFRP bonded double-lap shear coupons were tested at different temperatures to characterize the bond behavior. In the second phase of testing steel beams were strengthened with different configurations of high modulus CFRP plates and subjected to different combinations of applied load and ambient temperature. The temperature ranges considered were selected to represent typical environmental conditions experienced by many steel bridges and structures in different environments. The parameters that are considered in this study include the length of the CFRP plate and the combined effect of mechanical and thermal load.

▼ Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been utilized in rehabilitation and strengthening of civil infrastructure, and fabrication of aerospace, automotive and marine structural components. This is attributed to the high strength-to-weight ratio and durability of CFRP. However, for strengthening using externally bonded CFRP laminates, creep of epoxy adhesive at the CFRP interface can result in off-loading of the CFRP and inefficient structural strengthening. When the CFRP strengthened structure is subjected to sustained loads, creep of epoxy should be carefully considered and controlled. Moreover, utilization of CFRP in fabrication of such structural components is rapidly demanding the enhancement of the structural properties of CFRP composites. Since CFRP structural properties depend on both the
fiber and matrix properties, enhancement in the properties of the matrix yields relative improvement of the structural properties of the CFRP composite. Moreover epoxy resin systems incorporating nanoclay (epoxy-clay nanocomposite) have recently been reported to generally display significant improvements in structural properties over neat epoxy. This research examines the possible control of creep of epoxy using nanoclay. A multi-scale investigation of creep behavior of the epoxy-clay nanocomposite was conducted including macrocreep behavior at the CFRP-steel interface by using double lap shear testing, followed by investigation of the nanocreep of an epoxy-clay nanocomposite using nanoindentation. In addition, a hybrid CFRP composite incorporating an epoxy-clay nanocomposite (NC-CFRP) was fabricated. The experiments showed nanoclay to have a significant effect on epoxy creep, and tensile, in-plane shear, and flexural properties of NC-CFRP. Moreover, nanoclay was proven to improve low-velocity impact responses as well as limit damage evolution. Microstructural, thermal and mechanical characterizations of the epoxy-clay nanocomposite were performed to explain the observed effects. Microstructural characterization included scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. Thermal characterization involved thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. These measurements showed that intercalated and exfoliated nanoclay platelets have significantly different effects.

▼ Carbon-
fiber-
reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are being widely used as lightweight and high strength material in aerospace and automotive industries, owing to their high specific modulus, high specific strength, and good corrosion and fatigue resistance. The material performance of CFRP composites highly depends on the material manufacturing process and the inherent internal microstructure. Therefore, this dissertation attempts to unveil the underlying process-structure and structure-property relations by integrating data science and informatics with microstructure characterization. Specifically, this dissertation focuses on developing analytical approaches for CFRP composites from X-ray computed tomography (XCT) images, a nondestructive testing, and three key research topics were identified. These topics include a) developing a 3D microstructure characterization approach for non-uniformly oriented CFRP composites, b) establishing physics-based features to quantify the spatiotemporal progression of tensile fractures in CFRP composites, and c) comprehending the process-structure-property (P-S-P) relations of fused filament fabricated CFRP composite through developing image-based analytical methods that quantitatively examines the microstructure variations and its effect on the tensile property.
For the first research topic, a 3D microstructure analysis framework was developed to quantitatively analyze
fiber morphology (e.g.
fiber curvature, orientation, and length distribution) for non-uniformly orientated
fiber systems using micro-XCT (µXCT) images. For this purpose, numerical image processing techniques and iterative local
fiber-tracking approaches were developed to extract individual fibers from congested
fiber systems, and statistical distribution of the
fiber morphology was formulated using tensor representation. The derived statistics were integrated with the physics-based Halpin-Tsai model and laminate analogy to estimate the material modulus. The fidelity of the characterization was validated through experimental results for injection molded short and long CFRP composites, which provided a valid alternative for finite element analysis.
For the second research topic, the spatiotemporal characterization of the fracture behavior of CFRP composites was established through the implementation of in-situ µXCT. The fracture features were automatically extracted from the 3D µXCT image using the image processing techniques, and physics-based features were developed to quantitatively measure the progression of failure behavior. The proposed characterization approach was implemented on sheet molding compound and injection molded CFRP composites, where the spatiotemporal characterization of fracture behavior was quantified and visualized. It provided insights into the microscale failure mechanism, and the validity of the proposed characterization approach was confirmed by the strain field calculation using a volumetric digital image correlation.
For the third research topic, a P-S-P approach was proposed to unveil…

▼ Research on resilient infrastructure systems is expanding. As we experience more infrastructure deterioration in the US, numerous efforts are ongoing for building the nation's new infrastructure and maintaining the existing one. Bridges are key components of infrastructure that are vulnerable to earthquakes and are undergoing retrofit or complete replacement. Thus, optimized seismic design of new bridges and informed retrofit decisions are indispensable. A specific design issue that is concerned with the structural response of bent cap beams in as-built and retrofitted box-girder bridges under gravity and seismic loads is tackled in this dissertation. The lack of proper account of box-girder slabs contribution to the integral bent cap can lead to an uneconomical seismic design of new bridges or unfavorable mode of failure in retrofitting existing ones. A combined experimental and computational research was undertaken in this study to investigate the structural behavior and seismic response of bent cap beams in as-built and retrofitted reinforced concrete box-girder bridges under the combined effect of vertical and lateral loading. In particular, the contribution of the box-girder slabs to the stiffness and strength of the integral bent caps was evaluated for optimized design and enhanced capacity estimation. The computational part of the study consisted of two phases: pre-test and post-test analyses. The experimental program involved testing two 1/4-scale column-bent cap beam-box girder subassembly using quasi-static and Hybrid Simulation (HS) testing methods. The test specimens were adopted from a typical California bridge that is modified from the Caltrans Academy Bridge, and were designed in light of the most recent AASHTO and Caltrans provisions. The pre-test analysis phase of the computational research utilized one-, two-, and three-dimensional finite element models to carry out different linear and nonlinear static and time history analyses for both of the full prototype bridge and the test specimen. The pre-test analysis successfully verified the expected subassembly behavior and provided beneficial input for the experimental program. The first stage of the experimental program involved quasi-static cyclic loading tests of the first specimen in as-built and repaired conditions. Bidirectional cyclic loading tests in both transverse and longitudinal directions were conducted under constant gravity load. A rapid repair scheme was adopted for the tested specimen using a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) column jacket. A similar quasi-static cyclic test to the as-built specimen was carried out for the repaired specimen for comparison purposes and to verify the essentially elastic status of the bent cap beam. The second stage of the experimental study embraced the HS testing technique for providing the lateral earthquake loading to the test specimens. A new practical approach that utilized readily available laboratory data acquisition systems as a middleware for feasible HS communication was achieved as part of…

▼ Carbon fiber-
reinforced plastics (CFRPs) have gained widespread popularity as a lightweight, high-strength alternative to traditional materials. The unique anisotropic properties of CFRP make processing difficult, especially using conventional methods. This study investigates laser cutting by ablation as an alternative by comparing two near-infrared laser systems to a typical mechanical machining process. This research has potential applications in the automotive and aerospace industries, where CFRPs are particularly desirable for weight savings and fuel efficiency. First, a CNC mill was used to study the effects of process parameters and tool design on machining quality. Despite high productivity and flexible tooling, mechanical drilling suffers from machining defects that could compromise structural performance of a CFRP component. Rotational feed rate was shown to be the primary factor in determining the axial thrust force, which correlated with the extent of delamination and peeling. Experimental results concluded that machining quality could be improved using a non-contact laser-based material removal mechanism. Laser machining was investigated first with a Yb:YAG
fiber laser system, operated in either continuous wave or pulse-modulated mode, for both cross-ply and woven CFRP. For the first time, energy density was used as a control variable to account for changes in process parameters, predicting a logarithmic relationship with machining results attributable to plasma shielding effects. Relevant process parameters included operation mode, laser power, pulse overlap, and cross-ply surface
fiber orientation, all of which showed a significant impact on single-pass machining quality. High pulse frequency was required to successfully ablate woven CFRP at the weave boundaries, possibly due to matrix absorption dynamics. Overall, the Yb:YAG
fiber laser system showed improved performance over mechanical machining. However, microsecond pulses cause extensive thermal damage and low ablation rates due to long laser-material interaction time and low power intensity. Next, laser machining was investigated using a high-energy nanosecond-pulsed Nd:YAG NIR laser operating in either Q-Switch or Long Pulse mode. This research demonstrates for the first time that keyhole-mode cutting can be achieved for CFRP materials using a high-energy nanosecond laser with long-duration pulsing. It is also shown that short-duration Q-Switch mode results in an ineffective cutting performance for CFRP, likely due to laser-induced optical breakdown. At sufficiently high power intensity, it is hypothesized that the resulting plasma absorbs a significant portion of the incoming laser energy by the inverse Bremsstrahlung mechanism. In Long Pulse mode, multi-pass line and contour cutting experiments are further performed to investigate the effect of laser processing parameters on thermal damage and machined surface integrity. A logarithmic trend was observed for machining results, attributable to plasma shielding similar to…

▼ The use of
carbon/epoxy composites is ever increasing in the aerospace industry. The topic of saltwater absorption/desorption cycling effects is of interest as aircraft will experience significant moisture absorption/desorption and thermal cycles both during the short time scale of a sortie, as well as during the long time scale of service life. Coupled with this is exposure to elements, such as salt, from the environment.
Carbon/epoxy materials are known to absorb moisture throughout their service life, and the extent of this absorption and its effects on the material may be estimated. It is generally assumed that the effects of fresh water absorption are reversible upon drying with respect to some basic characteristics such as glass transition temperature and associated mechanical properties. It is also acknowledged that repeated fresh water cycling does not have significant negative effects. However, the effect of a very common component of the environment, salt (NaCl), has had little attention in the research to-date. It has been seen in the few experiments conducted on
carbon/epoxy, that saltwater/seawater conditioning degrades matrix-dominated properties to a greater degree than fresh water conditioning.The effects of repeated cycles of saltwater absorption/desorption on short-beam strength of
carbon/epoxy composite materials are explored in this thesis. Experiments were conducted on Toray T700S/Cytec MTM57 plain weave
carbon/epoxy composite material. The material was exposed to four cycles of immersion to saturation and drying and the gravimetric results obtained. The diffusion constants for absorption of fresh water and of salt water were obtained. Finally, the short-beam strength was tested for saltwater-cycled versus as-manufactured Toray T700S/Cytec MTM57 material. A relative reduction in strength of approximately 10% was observed.These results indicate that cycles of saltwater have irreversible effects. And further studies into the effects of the cyclic saltwater environment may be useful for the development of design allowables of composite materials employed in aircraft.

▼ Fibre
Reinforced Polymer Composites are extensively used in aircraft structures because of its high specific stiffness, high specific strength and tailorability. Though Fibre
Reinforced Polymers offer many advantages, they are not free from problems. The damage of different nature, e.g., service mechanical damages, fatigue damage or environmental damage can be observed during operating conditions. Among all the damages, manufacturing or service induced, delamination related damage is the most important failure mechanisms of aircraft-composite structures and can be detrimental for safety. Delamination growth under fatigue loading may take place due to local buckling, growth from free edges and notches such as holes, growth from ply-drops and impact damaged composites containing considerable delamination. Delamination growth can also occur due to interlaminar stresses, which can arise in complex structures due to unanticipated loading.
The complex nature of composite failure, involving different failure modes and their interactions, makes it necessary to characterize/identify the relevant parameters for fatigue damage resistance, accumulation and life prediction. An effort has been made in this thesis to understand the fatigue behavior of
carbon fibre
reinforced epoxy laminates under aircraft wing service loading conditions. The study was made on laminates with different lay-up sequences (quasi-isotropic and fibre dominated) and different geometries (plain specimen, specimen with a hole and ply-drop specimen).
The fatigue behaviour of the composite was analyzed by following methods:
. Ultrasonic C-Scan was used to characterize the delamination growth.
. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) was done to study the interfacial degradation due to fatigue loading. In this analysis, the interfacial strength indicator and interfacial damping were calculated. The DMA also provides the storage modulus degradation under fatigue loading.
. Scanning electron microscope examination was carried out to understand the fatigue damage mechanisms.
. A semi-empirical phenomenological model was also used to estimate the residual fatigue life.
This research work reveals that the
Carbon Fibre
Reinforced Polymer laminates are in the safe limit under service loading conditions, except the specimen with a hole. The specimen with a hole showed delaminations around the hole due to stress concentration and higher interlaminar stresses at the hole edges and this delamination is found to be associated with fibre breakage and fibre pullout. The quasi-isotropic laminate is found to show poorer fatigue behaviour when compared to fibre dominated laminate and ply-drop also shows poor performance due to high stress concentration in the ply-drop region.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A carbon fibre reinforced MAX phase ceramic matrix composite (CMC) was produced
in prepreg form and sintered using spark plasma sintering (SPS). MAX phase ceramics is a group of ternary ceramics exhibiting a combination of advantageous
properties of both metals and ceramics.
The CMC prepreg was designed with a carbon fibre weave acting as reinforcement and a MAX phase (Ti2AlC) acting as the matrix. Polymethyl methacrylate
(PMMA) was used to coat the fibres and Ti2AlC powder combination to achieve a flexible and robust prepreg.
Ti2AlC powder was prepared by attrition milling in a liquid medium. The particle size distribution was measured using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning
electron microscopy (SEM). The mean particle size was reduced from 16 cm to 275 nm, allowing infiltration of the powder into a fibre weave. The effect of the attrition milling on the elemental composition of the powder was evaluated using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD).
Electrophoretic deposition (EPD), vacuum infiltration, and pressure infiltration
were evaluated for ceramic infiltration into a carbon fibre weave. The ceramic infiltration was investigated by examining polished cross-sections using optical
microscopy.
Prepreg layers were combined and thermal debinding was performed at 400 °C to remove the PMMA coating. The CMC was sintered using SPS at 20 MPa
and 1400 °C to create a 30 mm CMC disc. The sintered CMC had a density of 2.04 g/cm3 and open porosity of 16 %. The microstructure of the CMC was evaluated
using optical microscopy, SEM, and X-ray computed tomography (CT). The discs were fractured using the ball on three balls (B3B) test method to determine
the strength and mechanical response. EDS and SEM analysis was employed to evaluate diffusion between carbon fibres and Ti2AlC matrix. Aluminium diffused
from the matrix into the fibres, resulting in the formation of Al4C3 in the carbon fibre and TiC in the matrix surrounding the fibre.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: 'n Koolstof-versterkte MAX-fase keramieksamestelling was in 'prepreg' vorm gelewer

Die keramieksamestelling is ontwerp met n koolstofveselweefstof wat as n versterker

▼ O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o desempenho estrutural de painéis de alvenaria de blocos de concreto reforçados com polímero reforçado com fibras de carbono (PRFC). A justificativa dessa análise embasa-se no fato que o método construtivo em alvenaria estrutural não permite alterações em sua concepção arquitetônica, uma vez que os próprios elementos de vedação são elementos estruturais, necessitando então de estudos que indiquem a viabilidade técnica do reforço das paredes com PRFC para solução desse problema. Para isso, além da resistência, tal análise se concentrou em avaliar a variação da rigidez de painéis não reforçados e posteriormente reforçados, submetidos a um carregamento de compressão uniformemente distribuído equivalente a 60 % da carga prevista de ruptura e posteriormente à ruptura. Dentre diversas combinações de parâmetros interferentes no resultado, optou-se em focar a análise das interações entre a quantidade de faixas de PRFC e as posições de aplicação. Além da análise numérica e experimental dos painéis não reforçados, também foram ensaiados blocos e prismas reforçados com PRFC que serviram de parâmetro para melhor entendimento do sistema de reforço em alvenaria. Por fim, verificou-se a eficiência do uso de PRFC no reforço da alvenaria estrutural, conhecendo a influência do número de faixas de reforço e sua posição ideal de aplicação.
The objective of this study was to analyze the structural performance of masonry panels of concrete blocks reinforced with polymer reinforced with carbon fiber (CFRP). The justification for this analysis is the fact that the structural masonry construction method does not allow changes in its architectural design, since the actual sealing elements are structural elements, so needing studies that indicate the technical viability the strengthening of the walls with CFRP for the solution of this problem. For this, beyond resistance, such analysis was focused on evaluating the variation of stiffness of the panel when unreinforced then reinforced, loaded with an uniformly distributed compressive strength, corresponding to 60 % of the final expected load and subsequently to rupture. Among various combinations of parameters interfering in the result, was opted to analysis the interactions between the amount of CFRP strips and their positions. Besides the numerical and experimental analysis of the unreinforced panels, were also tested blocks and prisms reinforced with CFRP which were served as a parameter for better understanding of masonry reinforcement system. Finally, it was verified the efficiency of the use of CFRP in strengthening of the masonry, knowing the influence of the number of strips and the ideal position application.

▼ Fiber-
reinforced polymer composites have recently emerged as novel materials capable of playing a unique role in industrial applications. The advantage of these materials over traditional metals or polymers comes from the material property enhancements that can be achieved by combining appropriate
fiber and matrix materials into the microstructure. While these materials have recently become popularized, many complications arise in the manufacturing process of the two-phase microstructures, specifically in the machining of FRP composites. Due to the complex nature of FRP two-phase microstructures, the
fiber failure mechanisms occurring in the machining process are not fully understood. Many experimental and modeling techniques have been implemented to more fully explain the nature of the
fiber failure mechanisms in the machining process, but these have fallen short of a complete understanding of the machining complexities. This research seeks to gain a fundamental understanding of the
fiber orientation-based
fiber failure mechanisms occurring in the micro-machining of FRP composites by employing two unique modeling techniques.
In this research, both experimental and finite element-based modeling approaches are undertaken. Fibers oriented in 0, 45, 90, and 135 degrees with respect to the direction of tool motion are investigated and unique failure theories are developed for each of these orientations. The model based on experimental observations is focused on explaining the micro-scale failure mechanisms occurring in the machining process. The finite element machining model developed in this work uses a unique modeling approach, which is capable of explaining the
fiber failure mechanisms occurring throughout the chip formation process. After development of the two machining models, the machining responses are compared to a set of machining experiments for validation purposes.
ii
Fibers orientated in the 45 and 90 degree orientations were found to fail in compressive crushing-dominated failure while fibers oriented in the 135 degree orientation were found to fail in bending below the surface of the cut. In the 0 degree orientation, the fibers were proposed to fail in buckling or bending-dominated failure, depending on the depth of cut, and tool geometry of the process. The micro-scale
fiber failure mechanisms were observed to differ significantly from their macro-scale counterparts. The machining responses of the two models were found to agree well with the experimental validation analyses indicating that these models are an accurate representation of the chip formation process.

▼ This thesis introduces a new carbon fiber reinforced composite structure that uses polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) as the matrix material instead of the polymers that are typically used. The piezoelectric properties of PVDF enable the proposed composite material to act both as the structure and as an integrated sensor for in situ structural health monitoring. In this study, the fabrication process, the polarization process, and the mechanical and piezoelectric characterization of the composite structure are discussed. In addition, the DMAIC method was applied to the polarization process in order to identify the factors affecting the degree of polarization. As part of the improve phase, a 23 factorial design of experiment (DOE) was performed to investigate the optimal conditions of the identified factors for the polarization process. Lastly, the future market potential of the proposed composite structure is explored by applying strategic market analysis tools including SWOT analysis, Ansoff's matrix, and technology S-curve.

▼ Polymer matrix composites are widely used in aircraft structures due to their superior specific stiffness and strength. However, laminated composites are susceptible to delaminations due to the low interlaminar fracture toughness of the matrix. Traditional NDI techniques for damage detection involve significant costs due to the requirement for the grounding of aircraft, shutdown time, and labour involved in inspections. Vibration monitoring for damage assessment in aircraft has several advantages such as being applicable in situ, not requiring external excitation and the potential for application as a continuous structural health monitoring system. Frequency monitoring is employed in modern aircraft for engine diagnostics and identification of major faults; however, when applied to structural components, monitoring frequency shifts only identifies the presence of damage but not its exact location and severity. Eigensystem Realization Algorithm (ERA) has been proposed for application to many structural components but not for assessment of delamination in composites.This thesis proposes the application of ERA coupled with Natural Excitation Technique (NExT) for delamination assessment in laminated composite structures, including stiffened composite panels. NExT provides the advantages that any type of excitation of the structure can be employed and the location of the excitation point need not be known. The algorithm for delamination assessment using ERA coupled with NExT was developed using Matlab code. The proposed method is first investigated and validated using transient vibration response generated by finite element simulation of composite laminates with delaminations. The simulated response is fed into the ERA/NExT algorithm to identify changes in the system parameters to estimate the location and reductions in bending stiffness in the damaged areas. The use of different types of excitation modes and excitations provided at different locations have been examined. Sensitivity analyses have been performed conducted study the influence of spacing of measurement points on the accuracy of delamination size and severity estimated using responses by numerical modelling of composite beams and laminated plates. The proposed method is validated experimentally with vibration measurements conducted on laminated
carbon/epoxy beams, plates and stiffened panels with embedded delaminations and estimating the location, size and severity of the delaminations in the samples from the measured dynamic responses.

▼ This research project, funded by the Federal Highway Administration, entails the construction of an outdoor exposure site in order to evaluate various methods for mitigating alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in hardened concrete. The exposure site, built at the Concrete Durability Center at the University of Texas at Austin J.J. Pickle Research campus, included a series of bridge deck, column and slab elements. The specimens were cast in 2008, allowed to expand to predetermined expansion levels and then treated with various mitigation measures, after which the specimens were monitored for expansion, humidity, and deterioration.

▼ The use of composite materials (Fiber Reinforced Polymers - FRP) as internal and strengthening reinforcement in concrete structural members is becoming increasingly apparent. The ageing of the materials, the poorly detailed concrete members of the existing old Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures designed prior to 1970, the exposure of extremely important (RC) structures (e.g. bridges, highways etc.) in high corrosive environment owing to climate conditions or chemicals and the design requirements of modern seismic codes have led since several years the scientific community to investigate alternative methods of reinforcing and strengthening of the structural elements. In some cases, the use of FRP materials seem to be more advantageous than the use of the conventional steel reinforcement.The present research focuses on the investigation of innovative materials as main internal reinforcement or strengthening reinforcement of RC members with shear problems under monotonic and cyclic loading. The main axis is the interpretation and understanding the parameters that affect and determine the overall behaviour and failure mechanisms of these elements. For this purpose, an extensive experimental program was carried out which was divided into three parts.The first part concerns the experimental and analytical investigation of the use of Carbon FPR bars (C-FRP bars) as the main longitudinal reinforcement of structural RC members. In comparison with other commercially available FRP bars with lower cost such as FRP of glass fibers (G-FRP bars) C-FRP bars exhibit higher tensile strength and modulus of elasticity and an excellent corrosive resistance in harsh and aggressive environments (Fib bulletin 40 2007, ACI 440.1R-15 2015). In the first phase, seven (7) slender RC beams with rectangular cross-section were constructed and tested under 4-point monotonic loading with constantly increasing deformation: two (2) beams are reinforced with conventional steel tensional bars as the reference specimens and five (5) with C-FRP bars. Two types of C-FRP bars with different nominal diameter were chosen (df = 5.5 mm and df = 10 mm). The examined specimens were designed according to the design guidelines of ACI 440.1R-15 (2015). Special attention has been given on the bond conditions of the anchorage lengths of the tensile C-FRP bars. In this direction, an additional enhanced anchorage configuration along the straight anchorage length of the tensional FRP bars consisted of a continuous mild steel spiral with circular shape was also investigated. According to the experimental observations useful findings have been conducted regarding the overall response and the failure mechanism of these structural members.Concerning the analytical part of this research a feasible and easy-to-apply numerical approach for the evaluation of the flexural and the shear strength of slender concrete beams reinforced with longitudinal FRP bars, with or without steel stirrups, and consequently for the prediction of the expected failure mode is proposed. A unified…

▼ Dans le domaine du renforcement et/ou de la réparation des structures en béton armé par des matériaux composites à l'aide de la méthode du collage extérieur au moyen d'un adhésif époxy, une des préoccupations de la communauté scientifique est l'intégrité structurelle de ce système dans le cas d'incendie dans lequel la haute température est une caractéristique essentielle et peut atteindre jusqu'à 1200°C. Ce travail de recherche est axé sur le comportement thermomécanique à très haute température des matériaux composites [un composite à base de polymère carbone/ époxy (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer- CFRP), un composite textile/ mortier cimentaire (Textile Reinforced Concrete- TRC) et un adhésif à base d'époxy]. L'évolution des propriétés mécaniques et d'autres aspects mécaniques de ces matériaux composites avec la température a été caractérisée. Une nouvelle procédure expérimentale concernant la mesure de la déformation de l'éprouvette à l'aide du capteur laser est développée et validée. Une étude numérique et expérimentale a été réalisée dans le but de déterminer principalement la température à la rupture des joints « composite/ adhésif/ composite » sous les sollicitations mécaniques et thermiques. L'efficacité de la protection thermique de deux isolants [PROMASPRAY®T (produit commercial de la société PROMAT] et Isolant A (produit développé par le LGCIE site Tusset) a aussi été étudiée dans cette thèse. Enfin, une approche numérique, à l'aide du logiciel ANSYS, est utilisée afin de déterminer, de façon préliminaire et approximative, à l'échelle matériau, les propriétés thermiques des matériaux (composite textile/ mortier cimentaire -TRC et Isolant A)
In the area of the strengthening and/or the reparation of reinforced concrete structures with composites by means of the external bonding method using an epoxy adhesive, one of the preoccupation of the scientific community is the structural integrity of this system in the event of fire in which the high temperature is the essential feature et can reach up to 1200°C. This research focuses on the thermo-mechanical behavior of composite materials [carbon/epoxy adhesive composite (or carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), textile/cementitious mortar composite (or textile reinforced concrete (TRC)] and an epoxy-based adhesive. The evolution of mechanical properties and other mechanical aspects of these materials with the temperature has been characterized. A new experimental procedure concerning the measurement of sample strain by the laser sensor is developed and validated. An experimental and numerical study has been realized in order to mainly determine the temperature at the failure of "composite/adhesive/composite" joints under thermal and mechanical loadings. The effectiveness of the thermal protection of two insulators [PROMASPRAY®T (a commercial product of the PROMAT company and the insulator A (product developed by the LGCIE site Tuset)] has also been investigated in this PhD thesis.

▼ Composites often are able to carry more load after damage due to the structure of laminates. In addition, damage can be difficult to detect in composites compared to homogeneous materials. Understanding the behavior of composite material after damage is vital for composite structural design. Currently, experimental methods exist for classifying
fiber tension,
fiber compression, and matrix tensile damage propagation. However, little has been done on matrix compression propagation. First, several candidate specimens were identified based on
fiber compression studies. These specimens were modeled using FEA and the base continuum damage mechanics models. The size of the matrix compressive damage region was compared to select the specimens. Compact compression and center notch compression specimens showed good isolation of compressive damage. Compact compression specimens were chosen, as they were less dependent on the boundary conditions to achieve the desired damage mechanisms. These specimens were then manufactured and tested along with uniform compression specimens. Shear cracks propagating through the thickness of the material were the primary failure mechanism observed,
with other damage mechanisms occurring after some propagation. A contour J-integral was used to measure the strain energy release rate from DIC displacement field data. The plastic behavior of the material was classified to determine the applicability of the J-integral. It was determined that the J-integral is potentially valid for compressive damage initiation. Typical values showed a range of energy dissipation values when damage initiation between 30 kJ/m² and 40 kJ/m². These values were reflected in the areas under the uniform compression specimen stress-displacement curves for similar fracture angles. These specimens also showed correlation between energy dissipation and fracture plane angle. This is due to a greater contribution of mode I compression at lower angles. Residual stresses were observed in the past damage material due to friction,
fiber bridging and crack locking. These results show the limitations of the base continuum damage mechanics models and associated assumptions.

▼ A lightweight
carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) c-channel beam was previously designed using analytical theory and finite element analysis and subsequently manufactured through a pultrusion process. Physical testing revealed the prototype did not meet the bending and torsional stiffness of the beam model. An investigation revealed that the manufactured prototype had lower
fiber content than designed, compacted geometry, an altered ply layup, missing plies, and ply folds. Incorporating these changes into the beam model significantly improved model-experiment agreement.
Using what was learned from the initial prototype, several new beam designs were modeled that compare the cost per weight-savings of different composite materials. The results of these models show that fiberglass is not a viable alternative to CFRP when designing for equivalent stiffness. Standard modulus
carbon was shown
to have slightly lower cost per-weight savings than intermediate modulus
carbon, although intermediate modulus
carbon saves more weight overall. Core materials, despite potential weight savings, were ruled out as they do not have the crush resistance to handle the likely clamp loads of any attaching bolts. Despite determining the ideal materials, the manufactured cost per weight-savings of the best CFRP beam design was about double the desired target.

▼ This research program investigates the performance of a steel truss bridge when subjected to both localized web damage and a subsequent post-tensioned strengthening approach. The investigation utilizes a combined approach involving an experimental scale model bridge and a numerical computer model generated using the commercial finite element software RISA 3-D. The numerical model is validated using test data and further extended to parametric studies in order to investigate the theoretical load rating, strain energy, load redistribution, mode shapes and frequency of the bridge for control, damaged and strengthened states. The presence and severity of damage are found to significantly influence the global safety and reliability of the bridge. Also, higher order modes are more susceptible to changes in shape and frequency in the presence of damage. A recovery of truss deflection and a reduction of member forces are achieved by the proposed strengthening method.

▼ The last five decades observed an increasing use of
fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) composites as alternative construction materials for aerospace and infrastructure. The high specific strength of FRP attracted its use as non-corrosive reinforcement. However, FRP materials were characterized with a relatively low ductility and low shear strength compared with steel reinforcement. On the other hand,
carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been introduced in the last decade as a material with minimal defect that is capable of increasing the mechanical properties of
polymer matrices. This dissertation reports experimental investigations on the use of multi-walled
carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to produce a new generation of FRP composites. The experiments showed significant improvements in the flexure properties of the nanocomposite when functionalized MWCNTs were used. In addition, MWCNTs were used to produce FRP composites in order to examine static, dynamic, and creep behavior. The MWCNTs improved the off-axis tension, off-axis flexure, FRP lap shear joint responses. In addition, they reduced the creep of FRP-concrete interface, enhanced the fracture toughness, and altered the impact resistance significantly. In general, the MWCNTs are found to affect the behavior of the FRP composites when matrix failure dominates the behavior. The improvement in the mechanical response with the addition of low contents of MWCNTs would benefit many industrial and military applications such as strengthening structures using FRP composites, composite pipelines, aircrafts,and armored vehicles.

Fatigue crack initiation and propagation behaviour of CFRP have been of great importance because such composites are often used in engineering components that are subjected to continuous cyclic loading. The objective of this thesis work was to investigate the damage characteristics of the fatigue properties of CFRP composites by the modification of the polymer matrix with nanoclay addition. Carbon fibre reinforced epoxy was produced via vacuum assisted resin infusion moulding method (VARIM) with nanoclay concentrations of 0wt%, 1wt%, 3wt% and 5wt%. Tension-tension fatigue tests were conducted at loading levels of 90%, 75% and 60%. The frequency that was used was 3Hz with R value of 0.1. The results showed that at nanoclay percentages of 0wt%, 1wt% and 3wt% there was a consistent trend, where the number of cycles increased in fatigue loading percentages of 90%, 75% and 60%. At 5wt% nanoclay percentage the number of fatigue cycles dropped significantly at the 90% fatigue loading. The brittle nature of the 5wt% laminate became dominate and the sample fractured early at low fatigue cycle numbers. At the 75% fatigue loading, the number of cycles increased and at 60% fatigue loading the 5wt% nanoclay sample exceeded the number of cycles of all the nanoclay percentages by 194%. This was due to the intercalated arrangement of the nanoclays favouring the slow rate of surface temperature increase, during fatigue testing, at low fatigue cycle loading. The Crack Density analysis was performed and showed that at the same time in the fatigue cycle life, the 1wt% had 55 cracks, 3wt% had 52 cracks and the 5wt% had 50 cracks, for the 60% fatigue loading. This proved that it took longer for the cracks to initiate and propagate through the sample as the nanoclay percentage increased. Impact and hardness testing showed that the 5wt% exhibited brittle behaviour, which contributed to the results above. Scanning electron microscopy examination highlighted that the agglomeration of nanoclays delayed the crack initiation and propagation through the specimen and that the extent of fatigue damage decreased as the nanoclay percentage increased. A fatigue failure matrix was developed and showed that delamination, fibre breakage and matrix failure were the predominate causes for the fatigue failure.
