High-Velocity Impact Response of CFRP and Hybrid Composites: A Comprehensive Review on Ballistic Resistance and Damage Mechanisms
Abstract: This review consolidates recent advances in the study of high-velocity impact response of carbon fiber reinforced polymer and hybrid composites. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites are widely applied in aerospace, automotive, and defense due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, stiffness, and durability. However, their susceptibility to impact damage such as delamination, matrix cracking, and fiber breakage limits their performance under dynamic loading. To overcome these challenges, researchers have explored reinforcement …

Study the Impact of Corrosive Pollutants on Building Materials Corrosion
Abstract: Reinforced concrete structures (RCS) may be made more resistant to corrosion by using fiber reinforced polymers (FRP). One of the primary concerns with reinforced concrete constructions is corrosion. It causes disintegration in building material components by interactions with salts, acids, and alkalis. Both within and outside of reinforced properties, pollutants and effluents accelerate disbanding. When bio-waste and building materials come into contact, microorganisms and macro organisms, grow and emit acid …

Degradation of Building Materials by Corrosive Pollutants
Abstract: Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) is used for the corrosion suppression of reinforced concrete structures (RCS). One of the main issues with reinforced concrete constructions is corrosion. It interacts with acids, alkalis and salts to produce disintegration in building materials components. Pollutants and effluents speed up disbanding inside and outside reinforced structures. Bio-wastes come in contact of building materials to develop miro and macro-organism and these organisms release acid substances to …
