In order to improve the strength of concrete structures, the fiber reinforcement of concrete has become an essential factor. This study was conducted as an experimental program to gain a better understanding of how the variance of fiber shape and typ...
The view towards a sustainable bioeconomy is increasing the interest of using renewable natural resources in the production of composites. Until now, the production of sustainable composites has been mainly examined from the point of view of material...
In recent years, the use of hybrid composite stacks, particularly CFRP/Al assemblies, and fiber metal laminates (FMLs) has progressively become a convincing alternative to fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) and conventional metal alloys to meet the req...
The numerical modeling of transverse laminar flow past a new type of hollow-fiber membranes with external profiling has been performed. A model system of parallel fibers with symmetrical parallel protrusion obstacles or grooves is considered. The abs...
Cotton is one of the most-used natural fibres in the world due to its relative comfort and strength compared with other natural fibres. However, the processing of cotton for manufacturing products consumes a lot of water, while harvesting cotton uses...
Nanotubes (NTs) are mainly known as materials made from various substances, such as carbon, boron, or silicon, which share a nanosized tube-like structure. Among them, carbon-based NTs (CNTs) are the most researched group. CNTs, due to their nonparei...
This paper provides a review of recent studies on the weave factor along with the effect of weave parameters and particularly the weave structure on various properties of woven fabric. The weave structure can be considered as one of the prime paramet...
Acrylic hydrogels have been used in agriculture to increase the availability of water in the soil; cause faster plant growth and increase plant survival to water stress; allow controlled release of fertilizers; and, therefore, increase crop yields. O...
This study investigates the quasi-static axial crushing tests of eco-hybrid composites based on flax and E-glass fibres strengthened with polyester resin. Five different configurations of self-supporting webs were fabricated to investigate the crushi...
A popular water pipe system used in many countries is one formed by prestressed cylindrical concrete pipes (PCCPs) formed by identical precast moduli joined together in situ. This technology was and still is quite popular in many water supply systems...
