PhD position in the field of fracture mechanics of fibre composites

Submitted by Bent F. Sørensen on Tue, 05/31/2022 - 05:51

job

We have an open position as a PhD student in the area of fracture mechanics of fibre composites. The focus of the position is to develop "element test specimens", i.e., test specimens that are purposely-designed with the aim of checking the accuracy of model predictions of damage evolution (two or more damage types) in composite structures subjected to static and cyclic loading.

In-situ characterization on the fracture behavior of three dimensional polymer nanocomposites reinforced by CNT sponge

Submitted by Peng-Cheng Ma on Tue, 05/31/2022 - 03:36

This paper reported the fracture behavior of polymer-based nanocomposites reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In order to solve the problem associated with the dispersion and re-agglomeration of CNTs, three dimensional CNT sponge was prepared and incorporated into the epoxy through the monomer infusion process. The fracture toughness and critical energy release rate of the nanocomposites were enhanced by more than 100% and 250%, respectively.
