his constant support and guidance in the entire course of this research The assistance by all the other committee members to form the research content is truly appreciated as well Second, without the collaboration with those lab and department staffs, it would be impossible for this research to be finished Specifically, my sincere thanks go to JJ, Chuck, Danny, George and Tony I really enjoyed working with all of them Third, I really appreciate the generous donation of the CFRP laminates by Sika Ron made sure the materials arrived on time and in good shape The same appreciation also goes to MVP for donating the spraying equipment, resin and glass fiber Gregg provided invaluable technical assistance in operating the spraying equipment Last, but not least, the friendship shown by Yanjun, Huamin, Xiaoyan, Yu Chen and Jeff will keep me cherishing the time I spent at the University of Florida for the rest of my life Their encouragement and help made the days of hard work enjoyable iv
