Improvements and effects of porosity on interlaminar tensile strength of curved beam carbon fiber composites

Patlolla, Vamsidhar Reddy (Wichita State University, 2012-12)

The orthotropic nature of composites provides excellent performance in the fiber direction, but it is susceptible to failure in the orthogonal direction. Failure due to the delamination is limited to composites, and has ...
Improving and predicting the strengths of fiber-reinforced composites using a graphene-based self-healing system and finite element analysis

Patlolla, Vamsidhar Reddy (Wichita State University, 2018-05)

A new method for self-healing is developed by incorporating graphene nanoparticles into the microcapsules to improve the healing efficiency after initial failure and to extend the service life of a composite. Graphene ...
