Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fiber reinforced resin composites have made a considerable impact on many fields such as marine, automobile applications, leisure sports, aerospace, civil and general industry etc. Over the past decades, there has been a steady rise in the study of fiber reinforced resin composites for a wide range of structural and engineering applications. At present, the development of fiber reinforced resin composites has intended to be multi-function. The preparation of conductive composites, electromagnetic shielding composites, flame-retardant composites, gradient functional composites and intelligent composites etc. have been rapidly developed. Therefore, the researches for obtaining high performance fiber reinforced resin composites with advanced properties and applications still be highly demanded in this research field.

This Special Issue is devoted to the most recent progress on these topics, covering all the aspects concerning the preparation, characterization and application of fiber reinforced resin composites.

In addition to measuring the strain, stress, and Young’s modulus of materials through tension and compression, in-plane shear modulus measurement is also an important part of parameter testing of composites. Tensile testing of ±45° composite laminates is an economical and effective method for measuring in-plane shear strength. In this paper, the in-plane shear modulus of T800 carbon fiber/epoxy composites were measured through tensile tests of ±45° composite laminates, and acoustic emission (AE) was used to characterize the damage of laminates under in-plane shear loading. Factor analysis (FA) on acoustic emission parameters was performed and the reconstructed factor scores were clustered to obtain three damage patterns. Finally, the development and evolution of the three damage patterns were characterized based on the cumulative hits of acoustic emission. The maximum bearing capacity of the laminated plate is about 17.54 kN, and the average in-plane shear modulus is 5.42 GPa. The damage modes of laminates under in-plane shear behavior were divided into three types: matrix cracking, delamination and fiber/matrix interface debonding, and fiber fracture. The characteristic parameter analysis of AE showed that the damage energy under in-plane shear is relatively low, mostly below 2000 mV × ms, and the frequency is dispersed between 150–350 kHz.
