While other studies by [1] and [2] also showed application of stacked shells to evaluate delamination in composites, this new approach by ARRK Engineering was focused on maintaining computational ...

Eliminate delamination. Ineffective machining processes can result in delamination of composite laminates, which can have detrimental consequences to the structural integrity and surface quality of ...

In this way, crushing of the composite is reduced. Fasteners should also fit closely to reduce the chances of fretting in the clearance hole. Interference fits may cause delamination of the composite.

'Nanostitches' enable lighter and tougher composite materials Date: April 16, 2024 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: In an approach they call 'nanostitching,' engineers used ...

Toughened resins and simpler composite damage-detection technology certainly exist, but they have scant applicability to most current aircraft. The aerospace industry will have to wait for the ...

With delamination, the layers of the composite separate like pages of a book, weakening the material. When a book is closed and standing upright, its pages can easily support a nickel.

Despite their excellent in-plane strength, composite structures are very weak through the thickness and are therefore prone to delamination failures at the interfaces between plies. Cyclic loading of ...

From delamination to durability: How Fiber-Reinforced Polymer is fortifying Albeni Falls Dam's Gate 3. By Nicole L. Celestine June 17, 2025. ... The Power of Composites in Action.

Delamination prompts Boeing to inspect 787 fleet By Jon Ostrower 2012-02-05T02:00:00+00:00 Boeing again faces a manufacturing quality issue, requiring inspections and repairs of its 787 fleet.

The researchers then placed samples of the nanotube-reinforced composite in an experimental setup to test their resilience to “delamination,” or the potential for layers to separate.

An investigation of delamination and matrix crack interaction in composites failure ‌Student: Maria Francesca Pernice Supervisors: Luiz Kawashita and Stephen Hallett. The interaction between ...
