This paper proposes a contactless method for the identification of the electrical conductivity tensor of a carbon fiber composite materials plate using a rotating magnetic field and multi-coil eddy current sensor. This sensor consists of identical rectangular multi-coil, excited by two-phase sinusoidal current source in order to generate a rotating magnetic field and to avoid the mechanical rotation of the sensor. The fibers orientations, the longitudinal and transverse conductivities in each ply of carbon fiber composite material plate were directly determined with analysis of the impedance variation of each coil as function of its angular position. The inversion process is based on the use of artificial neural networks. The direct calculation associated with artificial neural networks makes use of 3D time-harmonic finite element method based on the A, V–A formulation.

A new kind of low collateral damage ammunition with Carbon fiber composite material casing is put forward. The operational principle of this ammunition and its configuration are introduced. Then the casting velocity of lethal unit and air shock wave pressure is analyzed theoretically and simulated. In order to study the effect of casing material on blast power, two different kinds of explosive charges are detonated. Overpressure curve of these two charges is measured using the pressure sensors. From the measured overpressure curve and theoretical simulation results, the duration of the positive pressure of the air blast pressure wave caused by the prototype model of the low collateral damage ammunition is bigger than the explosive charge with Carbon fiber composite material casing and naked explosive charge. From the high speed photography, the lethal units flight to a halt at a small distance. These results show the explosive charge with Carbon fiber composite material casing and metal powder can reduce destruction outside the radius of an intended target while enhancing its destructive force on the target.

Unidirectional carbon fiber composite material is one of the most common types of composites employed in vehicles, and its bending performance plays an important role in crash safety, especially in side pole impact. This study aimed to redesign one of the most important components of the side structure of a vehicle, the rocker panel, with unidirectional carbon fiber composite material. Our results show that it is not easy to acquire the same bending performance as that of a steel rocker panel by merely replacing it with carbon fiber material and increasing the wall thickness. Therefore, reinforcements were employed to improve the bending performance of the carbon fiber rocker panel, and a polypropylene reinforcement method achieved a weight reduction of 40.7% compared with high-strength steel.
