Despite an abundance of code requirements and heuristic equations, engineers specializing in structural retrofitting and analysis often struggle to utilize a suitable yet precise equation. This study introduces a novel approach by presenting a firefly optimization algorithm (FOA) combined with an artificial neural network (ANN)—termed as FOA-ANN—as an advanced hybrid machine learning model. The primary objective is to predict the shear capacity of slender FRP reinforced concrete (FRP-RC) beams without stirrup. An extensive experimental database of slender FRP-RC beams without stirrup was compiled. Leveraging this database and the proposed hybrid method, a simple yet accurate closed-form equation for determining the shear capacity of slender FRP-RC beams without stirrup was formulated. Additionally, a selection of pre-existing equations was provided for comparison of accuracy. Results indicate that the suggested FOA-ANN equation offers a more accurate alternative, outperforming equations derived from CSA S806-12 and AASHTO LRFD. The FOA-ANN hybrid technique proves to be highly effective in predicting the shear capacity of slender FRP-RC beams without stirrup.","PeriodicalId":16943,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142250124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Composite specimens have been made of layered carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) with lay-up patterns of [±45]<jats:sub>16</jats:sub> and [0/90]<jats:sub>16</jats:sub>. The stress concentrators have been cut in a form of a rectangle (with rounded corners) orientated at angles of 0°, 45°, and 90° to a loading axis. The novel data about the composite’s mechanical behavior has been obtained by the digital image correlation (DIC) method, the acoustic emission (AE) method and the optical microscopy. Quasistatic tests have been carried out taking into account recommendations of the ASTM D5766, ASTM D3039, ASTM D3518. The effect of the stress concentrator orientation on the composite’s strength has been evaluated. It has been found that the stress concentrator does not affect the strength of the composite with the [±45]<jats:sub>16</jats:sub> lay-up pattern. This peculiarity has been explained by the absence of the layers preventing the fibers system turning in the direction of the load application. The DIC method has allowed to study the evolution of inhomogeneous strain fields on the specimens’ surfaces. Computational simulations have been carried out within the elasticity stage. The results have shown that the strain fields obtained by both the DIC method and the numerical simulation were similar for the composites with the [0/90]<jats:sub>16</jats:sub> reinforcement pattern. However, significant differences have been found for the [±45]<jats:sub>16</jats:sub> reinforcement pattern, which have been explained by the development of inelastic zones near the stress concentrator even if the elastic stage is realized at the macrolevel. The using of the AE method and the optical microscopy has allowed to reveal typical mechanisms of the structural damage and to study their occurrence during the tests. It has been concluded that the orientation of the stress concentrator significantly influences the deformation processes of the CFRP with various reinforcement patterns.","PeriodicalId":16943,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites","volume":"200 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impacts of different fiber content on the pore structure, mechanical, and cost performance of PE/BF-HyECC were investigated. The PE/BF-HyECC with positive cooperative effect of 1.5 vol.% PE and 1.0 vol.% BF had higher strength and tighter crack width compared to PE-ECC with 2.0 vol.% PE.

The results show tyhat the fatigue diagram consists of three stages associated with resistance of fibers and matrix against delamination propagation, stable delamination progression, and ultimate spread of failure which are accurately identified by AE and mechanical methods. Additionally, the pattern and procedure of all fatigue diagrams under all loading conditions were similar and independent of loading parameters.

The composites industry, relying on precision in aligning fibers, stands to benefit significantly from machine vision. Ensuring the exact fiber orientation is critical, as deviations can compromise product mechanical properties and lead to failure. Machine vision, particularly in wet fiber placement (WFP), offers a solution for monitoring and enhancing quality control in composite manufacturing. WFP involves pulling fiber bundles, impregnating them with resin, and precisely transporting them to mold tooling for layer-by-layer fabrication. The challenge lies in handling tacky, wet fiber bundles, making tactile sensors impractical. This makes WFP an ideal candidate for contactless process monitoring. The objective of this study is to employ a low budget machine vision in WFP, utilizing a webcam connected to a single-board computer. Artificial intelligence is trained using images of fiber bundles just before placement on the tooling mold. The module detects and measures the position and orientation of a roving in the starting position, enabling the initiation of the WFP process. The methods employed are thoroughly evaluated for reliability and feasibility. After completing only 50 training epochs, a roving detection accuracy of 91.3% could be achieved with almost no critical errors. With additional iterations per placement process, the system functions almost flawlessly at its current state.","PeriodicalId":16943,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142176331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The efficiency of the virtual isotropic material concept (VIMC) in combination with a new combined failure criterion was also evaluated. The J-integral and average strain energy density failure criteria were combined with VIMC. Using analytical expressions for the J-integral and the average strain energy density (ASED), the prediction of the fracture load of notched components was simplified and expedited. The experimental fracture loads of notched specimens were determined for quasi-isotropic and cross-ply laminates under mode I and mixed mode I/II. The fracture loads were predicted using analytical expressions for the J-integral and ASED, combined with VIMC. The VIMC-ASED and VIMC-J-integral failure criteria demonstrated good accuracy in predicting the LPF, with the highest accuracy for mode I, slightly reduced accuracy for mixed mode I/II. VIMC, in combination with energy-based failure criteria, effectively predicts the fracture load. The use of analytical expressions further simplified and expedited the prediction process without losing accuracy, making it a practical approach for engineering applications. Additionally, this approach significantly reduces the time and cost associated with extensive experimental testing.","PeriodicalId":16943,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142176330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Predictions of micromechanical models are carried out using geometric input parameters statistically measured from micrographies of the unit cell of the plain weave composite and compared to finite element predictions and to measured elastic properties of an E-glass/vinyl ester plain weave composite. The micromechanical models predict that the width and thickness of the yarn in the fill and warp directions greatly influence the elastic properties and anisotropy of the plain weave composite. Good agreement between all approaches and the measured values is observed for the in-plane elastic properties, as long as the input geometric parameters of the unit cell required for the models are measured with statistical rigor.
