AbstractSelf-healing is receiving an increasing amount of interest worldwide as a method to address damage in materials. In particular, for advanced high-performance fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials, self-healing offers an alternative to employing conservative damage-tolerant designs and a mechanism for ameliorating inaccessible and invidious internal damage within a structure. This article considers in some detail the various self-healing technologies currently being developed for FRP composite materials. Key constraints for incorporating such a function in FRPs are that it not be detrimental to inherent mechanical properties and that it not impose a severe weight penalty.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are becoming suitable and substantial materials in the repair and replacement of conventional metallic materials because of their high strength and stiffness. These composites undergo various types of static and fatigue loads during service. One of the major tests that conventional and composite materials have to experience is fatigue test. It refers to the testing for the cyclic behavior of materials. Composite materials are different from metals, as they indicate a distinct behavior under fatigue loading. The fatigue damage and failure mechanisms are more intricate in composite materials than in metals in which a crack initiates and propagates up to fracture. In composite materials, several micro-cracks initiate at the primary stage of the fatigue growth, resulting in the initiation of various types of fatigue damage. Fiber volume fraction is an important parameter to describe a composite laminate. The fatigue strength increases with the increase of the fiber volume fraction to a certain level and then decreases because of the lack of enough resin to grip the fibers. The fatigue behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer composites depends on various factors, e.g., constituent materials, manufacturing process, hysteresis heating, fiber orientation, type of loading, interface properties, frequency, mean stress, environment. This review paper explores the effects of various parameters like fiber type, fiber orientation, fiber volume fraction, etc. on the fatigue behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer composites.

Alternative Means

Under normal conditions, the cross-sections of reinforced concrete in classic skeleton construction systems are often only partially loaded. This contributes to non-sustainable construction solutions due to an excess of material use. Novel cross-disciplinary workflows linking architects, engineers, material scientists and manufacturers could offer alternative means for more sustainable architectural applications with extra lightweight solutions. Through material-specific use of plant-based Natural Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites (NFRP), also named Biocomposites, a high-performance lightweight structure with topology optimized cross-sections has been here developed. The closed life cycle of NFRPs promotes sustainability in construction through energy recovery of the quickly generative biomass-based materials. The cooperative design resulted in a development that were verified through a 1:10 demonstrator, whose fibrous morphology was defined by biomimetically-inspired orthotropic tectonics, generated with by the fiber path optimization software tools, namely EdoStructure and EdoPath in combination with the appliance of the digital additive manufacturing technique: Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP).
