• Mechanical and impact tests of CFRP. An experimental and numerical study of the mechanical properties of CFRP samples with varying temperatures, using Four-point bending, Charpy and Air gun tests 

      Strand, Cathrine Høgmo (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-06-01)
      With increasing popularity of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) over time, the need of research in the field increases along with it. The aim of this project was to study the mechanical properties of CFRP with varying temperature settings. A four-point bending test was performed to find the deflection of CFRP in room temperature, and after being exposed to cold temperature. A numerical test was ...

      Andleeb, Zahra; Strand, Cathrine Høgmo; Malik, Sohail; Hussain, G; Khawaja, Hassan; Boiger, Gernot; Moatamedi, Mojtaba (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites have emerged as a major class of structural materials that have a significant potential use as a substitute for metals in aerospace, marine, automotive, and architecture due to their higher-strength-to-weight-ratio. CFRP is well suited for various applications, but their mechanical properties such as ‘low-velocity impact resistance’ are not well ...
    • Multiphysics Impact Analysis of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Shell 

      Strand, Cathrine Høgmo; Andleeb, Zahra; Khawaja, Hassan; Moatamedi, Mojtaba (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-30)
      With increasing popularity of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) over time, the need for research in the field has increased dramatically. Many industries, i.e. aeronautical, automotive, and marine are opting to install carbon fiber in their structures to account for harsh environments like cold temperatures applications, but the research on the temperature exposure behavior of the materials are ...
