Anisotropic fluid diffusion in carbon fiber reinforced composite rods: Experimental, analytical and numerical study
Gagani, Abedin; Krauklis, Andrejs; Echtermeyer, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Carbon fiber composite plastic (CFRP) rods immersed in water present a pronounced anisotropic diffusion behavior. Understanding and predicting this behavior is important as the mechanical properties of the material are ... -
Dissolution kinetics of R-glass fibres: Influence of water acidity, temperature, and stress corrosion
Krauklis, Andrey; Gagani, Abedin; Vegere, Kristine; Kalnina, Ilze; Klavins, Maris; Echtermeyer, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Glass fibres slowly degrade due to dissolution when exposed to water. Such environmental aging results in the deterioration of the mechanical properties. In structural offshore and marine applications, as well as in the ... -
Fluid diffusion in cracked composite laminates – Analytical, numerical and experimental study
Gagani, Abedin; Echtermeyer, Andreas T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Composite structural components are often subjected to service loads that cause cracks in off-axis layers, without compromising the load bearing capability of the structure. In marine or humid environments fluid ingress ... -
Hygrothermal Aging of Amine Epoxy: Reversible Static and Fatigue Properties
Krauklis, Andrey; Gagani, Abedin; Echtermeyer, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) are widely used in structural applications. Long-term properties of such materials exposed to water are of high concern and interest, especially for subsea and offshore applications. The ... -
Immersed interlaminar fatigue of glass fiber epoxy composites using the I-beam method
Gagani, Abedin; Mialon, Emeric; Echtermeyer, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Exposure to marine environment causes a degradation of the interlaminar shear performance of composites. This effect has been reported in several studies, but the mechanisms that lead to failure in composites subjected to ... -
Influence of delaminations on fluid diffusion in multidirectional composite laminates – Theory and experiments
Gagani, Abedin; Echtermeyer, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Multidirectional composite laminates are often used in marine and offshore applications. Upon cyclic loading, cracks appear early in the off-axis plies and generate delaminations, which accelerate fluid diffusion. In this ... -
Long-Term Hydrolytic Degradation of the Sizing-Rich Composite Interphase
Krauklis, Andrey; Gagani, Abedin; Echtermeyer, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Glass fiber-reinforced composites are exposed to hydrolytic degradation in subsea and offshore applications. Fiber-matrix interphase degradation was observed after the matrix was fully saturated with water and typical water ... -
Micromechanical modeling of anisotropic water diffusion in glass fiber epoxy reinforced composites
Gagani, Abedin; Fan, Yiming; Muliana, Anastasia H; Echtermeyer, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Fluid diffusion in fiber reinforced composites is typically anisotropic. Diffusivity in the fiber direction is faster than in the transverse direction. The reason for this behavior is not yet fully understood. In this work, ... -
Multiscale Modelling of Environmental Degradation—First Steps
Echtermeyer, Andreas; Gagani, Abedin; Krauklis, Andrejs; Mazan, Tobiasz (Chapter, 2018)Fibre-reinforced plastics are praised for their good corrosion resistance. However, when this resistance needs to be documented for safety-critical applications extensive and time-consuming test programmes are needed. A ... -
