In the present scenario, weight diminution and strength enrichment are the main requirements for escalating the application of a nano composite material in different sectors. Several industrial sectors, such as automobile, defense and aerospace, are...

This research uses EBSD data of two thermo-mechanically processed medium carbon (C45EC) steel samples to simulate micromechanical deformation and damage behavior. Two samples with 83% and 97% spheroidization degrees are subjected to virtual monotonic...

Effective testing of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) and CMC/coating systems for high temperature, high stress, high velocity and/or severe oxidation/corrosion environments is a critical need in materials/coatings evaluation for extreme environments...

This study investigates the damage initiation in short glass fiber-reinforced polyamide 6.6 under fatigue loading using acoustic emission analysis. An optimized specimen geometry was developed to meet the specific requirements of this testing method,...

In this study, a simplified approach that can be used for the selection of the design parameters of carbon and glass fiber reinforced composite beams is presented. Important design parameters including fiber angle orientation, laminate thickness, mat...

The green synthesis of nanoscale materials is of special interest to researchers all over the world. We describe a simple, robust, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly approach to the synthesis of gold, silver, and iron nanoparticles using a var...

The demand for energy storage devices made from biodegradable materials has increased significantly due to sustainability. Currently, such devices possess vital issues, such as high manufacturing costs and toxicity, low reliability, as well as poor e...

Fibre metal laminates, hybrid composite materials built up from interlaced layers of thin metals and fibre reinforced adhesives, are future-proof materials used in the production of passenger aircraft, yachts, sailplanes, racing cars, and sports equi...

The upgrading and repair of masonry structures, which constitute a great part of built heritage, involve intricate aspects, in fact, the choice of the most suitable intervention technique is strongly dependent on its compatibility with superior prese...

Higher contact angles or amplified wettability observed on surfaces of rough solid materials are typically expressed as a function of a physical dimension (roughness factor). Herein, we present a simple experimental approach that demonstrates that ro...
