Defects in composite laminates are difficult to detect because of the conductive and paramagnetic properties of composite materials. Timely detection of defects in composite laminates can improve reliability. This research illustrates the preliminary analysis and detection of delaminations in carbon fiber laminate beams using a single layer of magnetostrictive particles and noncontacting concentric magnetic excitation and sensing coils. The baseline analytical models also begin to address the intrusive nature of the magnetostrictive particles as well as relate the applied excitation field with the stress and magnetic flux densities induced in the magnetostrictive layer. Numerical methods are used to begin to characterize the presence of magnetostrictive particles in the laminate and the behavior of the magnetostrictive particles in relationship to the magnetic field used during sensing. Unidirectional laminates with embedded delaminations are used for simulations and experimentations. A novel, yet simplified fabrication method is discussed to ensure consistent scanning and sensing capabilities. The nondestructive evaluation scanning experiments were conducted with various shapes and sizes of damages introduced into carbon fiber–reinforced polymeric composite structures. The results demonstrate high potential for magnetostrictive particles as a low-cost, noncontacting, and reliable sensor for nondestructive evaluation of composite materials.

Carbon aerogels are a promising candidate for vibration insulation due to their three-dimensional networked structures interconnected with carbon nanoparticles. However, the effect of adding carbon aerogels to polymer-based composites on their dynamic properties remains unclear. In this study, an epoxy polymer matrix was modified with carbon aerogels, and this modified matrix was used to manufacture nanocomposite plates and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composite laminates to investigate its dynamic properties. Force vibration tests were performed on cantilever beams of the composite beams. The frequency responses of the composite beams were measured experimentally and analytically; the half-power method was used to calculate the damping ratio for each vibration mode. According to the experimental results, the presence of carbon aerogel in the nanocomposites and laminates steadily increased the natural frequencies. Differences within 10% of the natural frequencies were obtained between the experimental and numerically. Furthermore, the damping ratios of the nanocomposite and laminate beams increased significantly with the increase in aerogel loading. For a nanocomposite with 0.3 wt% aerogel, a damping ratio approximately 44% greater than that of unmodified nanocomposite was obtained. The maximum damping ratio was 4.682% for the laminate with 0.5 wt% aerogel—an 88% increase compared with the unmodified laminate.

Delaminating of composite is one of keys for composite structures. An energy method was used to analyze the fundamental frequency of HT3/5224 carbon fiber reinforced laminated plate in this paper. Different delaminated situations are considered in analysis on vibration of composite based on Kirchhoff theory. The results show that delaminations have a great influence on the fundamental frequency of laminated plate. The discussion shows inner delaminations have more influence on composite laminates than surface delaminations. Different kinds of delaminations can interact each other and the interaction can increase the influence on frequency.

This paper focuses on the mechanical properties of carbon fiber cloth reinforced bamboos. Using the carbon fiber cloth to reinforce circularly the bamboo can protect dry bursting of the bamboos and improve its mechanical performances. A series of experiments were carried out to investigate the compressive strength, tensile strength and bending strength of bamboo reinforced with carbon fiber cloth. The mechanical performances of bamboos with and without reinforcing were compared and the efficient reinforcing method was suggested, with such method the compressive strength and bending strength of carbon fiber reinforced bamboos could be increased obviously compared with that of bamboos without reinforcing.
