Polymer Composites, 2026
Natural‐fiber composites have gained attention as sustainable alternatives to synthetic‐fiber materials. However, their performance is still limited by fiber‐matrix adhesion, moisture sensitivity, and variability in mechanical properties. In this study, bio‐based polyurethane (PU) composites reinforced with woven jute and flax fabrics were manufactured using a vacuum‐assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process. The materials were characterized through density measurements, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X ‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and mechanical testing. Mechanical characterization was performed through tensile tests (ASTM D3039, ASTM D3518), where Digital Image Correlation (DIC) was employed to calculate elastic properties (, , , and ). Additional analyses included flexural testing (ASTM D790). Flax‐reinforced composites exhibited the highest tensile and flexural performance, while jute‐reinforced composites showed superior thermal stability. SEM analyses revealed interfacial voids and incomplete fiber wetting, consistent with the observed mechanical behavior. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of using castor oil–based PU with natural fiber reinforcements for eco‐friendly structural applications.
Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

Journal of Field Robotics, 2026
Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers. This review critically examines the use of composites in robotics, with a focus on their structural, active, and sensory functions. A systematic literature review based on an adapted PRISMA framework identified over 100 publications from 1988 to 2026, revealing continuous research growth and rising interest in soft robotics, piezoelectric composites, and carbon‐based structures. In contrast, bioinspired systems have declined due to integration and manufacturing challenges. Despite the progress, major barriers remain, particularly scalability, long‐term reliability, and cost. This work proposes a functional taxonomy of composites in robotics and outlines future directions, including sustainable bio‐based materials, multimaterial additive manufacturing, and 4D‐printed adaptive systems. By integrating materials science and robotics, this review provides a concise roadmap, in composite structures, for developing high‐performance, multifunctional, and sustainable robotic technologies.

Journal of Composite Materials, 2025
Composite aircraft structures have been thoroughly investigated with regard to various loading combinations, which are capable of inducing different failure modes. The failure modes, particularly the fracture energies associated with modes I and II, are influenced by geometric and material variations, contributing to both epistemic and intrinsic uncertainties. The present work introduces a numerical-experimental methodology to simulate the Mixed Mode Bending (MMB) test conducted on specimens manufactured with carbon fibre and epoxy resin adherents and a ductile-based epoxy adhesive. The methodology employs a two-dimensional finite element model developed in Abaqus ® software aided by a Python ® routine. The Design of Experiments (DoE) technique, based on the Plackett-Burman Design (PBD) method, is applied to reduce the number of simulations needed. To assess the impact of mechanical and geometric variables on fracture strength responses in various mixed-mode ratios, the Compliance-Based Beam Method (CBBM) adapted for the MMB test is used, following the ASTM D6671 standard. The numerical model uses 4-node cohesive elements (COH2D4) for the adhesive layer and 4-node plane strain elements (CPE4R) for the composite adherents, with the loading system modelled through two-node linear rigid links (R2D2). A triangular traction-separation law (TSL) is adopted to simulate adhesive behaviour, allowing validation against experimental results from the literature. The methodology, considering the investigated materials, was applied to mixed-mode ratios of 25%, 50%, 60%, and 75%, and results showed that at 25%, the influence of mode I fracture energy ( G Ic ) was only 8% lower than that of mode II ( G IIc ), whereas at higher ratios the difference exceeded 270%, highlighting the increasing dominance of mode II mechanisms. The numerical model consistently predicted fracture loads conservatively compared to experimental values, and the statistical analysis identified that mode II fracture energy and adhesive modulus are key parameters influencing bonded joint strength. The total mixed-mode fracture energy ( G Tc , MMB ) resulting from CBBM was used to determine the Main Effect (ME), clearly ranking the parameters that most affect the mechanical behaviour of the bonded joint. These results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed methodology for assessing bonded composite joints under complex mixed-mode conditions.

Assessing critical fracture energy in mode I for bonded composite joints: A numerical–experimental approach with uncertainty analysis
Rafael Beck, Jailto Antonio Prado da Silva, Lucas FM da Silva, Volnei Tita, Ricardo de Medeiros
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part L Journal of Materials Design and Applications, 2025
The manufacturing process of composite structural components involves the assembly of composite parts using adhesives, which introduces variations in the geometrical and mechanical properties of bonded joints. The fracture energy under mode-I loading ( G I c ) is a parameter used to predict crack propagation and evaluate the residual strength of the joint. This work proposes a numerical-experimental procedure to determine G I c in mode I, while considering the uncertainties inherent in the manufacturing process of bonded joints. The proposed procedure employs a three-dimensional finite element model to simulate a double cantilever beam test, using finite element commercial software. The cohesive zone model is applied to simulate the mechanical behavior of the adhesive, and experimental data are used to feed the computational model. A Plackett-Burman design is performed to reduce the number of experiments and evaluate the effect of the main influence parameters. Force-displacement curves are obtained, the compliance-based beam method is applied to determine G I c in mode I, employing both trapezoidal and triangular traction-separation laws. The results are thoroughly examined, taking into account the potential strengths and limitations of the proposed procedure, particularly in its application to predicting the behavior of bonded composite joints under mode I loading conditions. The proposed approach can help to understand the uncertainties effect related to the manufacturing process of bonded joints on G I c values, and improve the reliability of predicting crack propagation and residual strength assessment in bonded joints.
Analytical, Experimental, and Finite Element Analysis of Buckling and Wrinkling Failure Modes in Carbon/PVC Sandwich Panels
João Alberto Günther Neto, Felipe Ruivo Fuga, Ricardo De Medeiros
Journal of Composites and Biodegradable Polymers, 2025
Carbon fibre–reinforced PVC foam sandwich composites are widely used in aeronautical and marine structures due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. However, the stiffness mismatch between face sheets and cores may lead to local buckling modes such as face wrinkling and shear crimping when subjected to compressive loads. Therefore, this study presents a comprehensive investigation on the interaction between global and local buckling modes for sandwich beam structures with lengths varying between 45 and 500 mm subjected to compressive loads, through the comparison of analytical and finite element models using Abaqus® software. Analytical results show a critical force of 3481.1 N and 4017.5N for face sheet wrinkling and shear crimping, respectively. Numerical predictions for both phenomena present a maximum error of approximately 1%, showing that local buckling can be predicted independently of the slenderness ratio of the beam, as suggested by the analytical formulation. However, even for slender beams, the critical buckling load showed a coupling to local behaviour, reducing the corresponding eigenvalue. A maximum deviation of approximately 8% was obtained between analytical and numerical predictions. Finally, an experimental procedure was carried out to observe the associated buckling shapes. As indicated by analytical and numerical predictions, the specimen displayed a local buckling failure mechanism, however, at a much smaller load value related to geometric imperfections and asymmetric boundary conditions. Therefore, the study establishes a validation between analytical and numerical frameworks for predicting local instability failures in CFRP/PVC sandwich structures, providing a tool for engineers to the design of sandwich panels for enhanced structural performance and lightweight and safe components.
