Abstract: Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are high performing materials and offer a wide range of applications. This has led to an increased use of FRP rebars in new construction with concrete as an alternative to steel in buildings. In building applications, FRP rebars need to conform to fire endurance ratings. Unfortunately, there has been very l... Show More

Abstract: An automobile disc brake system is used to perform three basic functions, i.e. to reduce speed of a vehicle, to maintain its speed when travelling downhill and to completely stop the vehicle. During these braking events, the disc brake may suffer of structural and wear issues. It is quite sometimes that the disc brake components fail structurally a... Show More
