Effects of temperature in novel crimp-free based composite materials for aerospace applications: An experimental assessment

This work shows the effects produced on mechanical behaviour by cold and elevated temperatures in a novel Non-crimped Fabric (NCF) composite for aerospace use. A mechanical characterization of the new composite was performed through several experimental tests. Composite plaques with different ply or...
