This study investigates the effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and core-shell rubber (CSR) particles on the mechanical properties and interlaminar fracture toughness of epoxy resin-based carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. The synergistic toughening mechanisms are explored through scanning electron microscopy and non-destructive testing. Results show that incorporating CSR individually reduces the modulus and maximum stress of epoxy resin but significantly enhances its fracture toughness by 82% when it is hybrid with MWCNTs synergistically. The hybrid modification of MWCNTs and CSR in CFRP laminates exhibited superior interlaminar toughening efficiency, with values increasing by 149% in mode I fracture and 80% in mode II fracture. These results demonstrate that CSR activates more MWCNTs in the resin, significantly improving the interlaminar fracture toughness of CFRP laminates. Furthermore, the hybrid-modified CFRP laminates effectively mitigated barely visible impact damage (5 J) and maintained damage resistance under higher energy impacts (up to 20 J), demonstrating enhanced impact tolerance, and showing remarkable resistance to damage evolution.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49435,"journal":{"name":"Thin-Walled Structures","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 113146"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143593963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the horizontal joint between the concrete tower and the foundation are not reinforced with continuous rebars, but are merely connected through prestressing force, there is a possibility of joint opening under the large bending moment. Five prestressed concrete tower specimens were tested under compression-bending loads. The key parameter in the experiment was the prestress ratio. The results showed that the increase of prestress can significantly constraint the opening of horizontal joints and improve the ultimate capacity of the tower, but the ductility and self-centering performance are reduced. Compared to the specimen with the lowest prestress ratio 0.11, the specimen with the highest prestress ratio 0.44 showed an increase of 84.56 % on the ultimate capacity, but showed a reduction of 79.84 % on the ductility. The accuracy of two commonly used design methods were evaluated based on test results. The relative errors were 48.6 % and 19.3 %, respectively, which showed low accuracy and applicability. Finally, based on the equivalent plastic hinge model, an analytical study was conducted. A theoretical model of the load-displacement curve was presented and the theoretical results were compared with the test results, showing a relative error of 4.2 %. The result indicated that the theoretical model can effectively predict the compression-bending capacity. In general, the revealed compression-bending mechanism and the proposed theoretical model can provide a guidance for the engineering design of prestressed concrete towers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49435,"journal":{"name":"Thin-Walled Structures","volume":"211 ","pages":"Article 113154"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143576694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The double-layer conical shell is divided into several conical shell substructures according to the position of the annular plate. The dynamic models of the conical shell and annular plate substructures are established based on the Flügge and Donnell-Mushtari thin shell/plate theories, incorporating centrifugal and Coriolis inertia forces. The displacements of the substructures are expressed as a combination of power series and Fourier series. All substructures are assembled using the continuity conditions for eight displacements and four forces at the coupling interfaces of adjacent substructures, and the global free vibration equation of the structure is constructed with the boundary conditions at the ends of the conical shell. The validity of the proposed method is verified through two examples. First, the results obtained using the proposed method are compared with those of the wave based method by converting the conical shell into a cylindrical shell and setting the rotational speed to zero. Second, the calculated dynamic frequencies of the rotating double-layer conical thin shells coupled with SER ZPR HSAP (SZHSAP) are compared with those obtained via the finite element method.

However, studies regarding oblique ballistic impact are limited and almost all the projectiles used are made of metal. In this study, serial high-velocity impact experiments using glass projectiles are performed with an obliquity of up to 60º. To investigate the ballistic response and impact-induced damage mechanism of GFRP laminate, truncated cone projectiles made by K9 glass and 3.6-mm-thick plain weave glass/epoxy composites are manufactured. The fracture and fragmentation of glass projectiles during the high-velocity impact are observed, and the perforation results and damage patterns of GFRP targets are presented. Additionally, the transition of glass fiber failure mechanism domination during penetration with the variations of impact velocity and incident angle is validated and summarized. Unlike rigid projectile impacts, a distinct decline trend regardless of the incident angle (IA) is confirmed by the quantitative correlation between the delamination damage area and projectile velocity. Furthermore, experimental result demonstrates that glass fibers on the rear surface fails early before the projectile arrives under large IA impact. Finally, a modified specific-kinetic-energy criterion, including the incident angle effect, is proposed to predict the ballistic perforation of GFRP laminates under glass projectile impact.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49435,"journal":{"name":"Thin-Walled Structures","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 113138"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143619954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
