... Determining long-term behavior of bonded CFRP systems requires developing an accelerated aging test method for CFRP applications. This paper examines the development of test methodology and specimen for both flexure and direct tension behavior of bonded CFRP materials using a specimen submerged...

... The contact pressure and shear stress on the surface of a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) rod in contact with an aluminum alloy counterface of two different hardnesses were studied. The main objective was to investigate the effect of high contact pressures on the sliding behavior...

... striations observed in the fiber imprints were also found to initiate from the fiber/matrix interface cracks. The morphology of the striations, however, depended on the magnitude of the fatigue loading. carbon fiber reinforced plastics CFRP fatigue delamination fractography Anders Sj6gren, I...
