Copper is important material that is widely applicable in the electric and electronic industries. Nevertheless, in some circumstances, it is highly desirable to improve its properties. Therefore, combination of materials of various composition and pr...
Due to the high design freedom and weight specific properties carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) offer significant potential in light-weighting applications, specifically in the automotive sector. The demand for medium to high production quantit...
Short fiber reinforced thermoplastics show distinct anisotropic behaviors due to their microstructure. The mechanical testing of specimens cut from injection molded plates at different angles to the injection molding direction reveals direction-depen...
This paper presents some examples of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) reinforced with metal or intermetallic phases fabricated by powder consolidation without a liquid phase (melted metal). Composites with a complex structure, which are an advanced g...
This investigation is motivated by increasing interest in ferrimagnetic materials and composites, which exhibit electrical capacitance. It addresses the need for the development of magnetic materials with enhanced capacitive properties and low electr...
Recent advances in polymer composites have led to new, multifunctional wound dressings that can greatly improve healing processes, but assessing the moisture status of the underlying wound site still requires frequent visual inspection. Moisture is a...
In this article, a novel calculation procedure using optimization techniques is proposed to compute the torsion–shear interaction curves for reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The calculation procedure is applied to NBR 6118 and AASHTO LRFD standa...
Composite energetic nanomaterials, otherwise known as nanothermites, consist of physical mixtures of fuel and oxidizer nanoparticles. When a combustion reaction takes place between both components, extremely impressive conditions are created, such as...
The effect of clay and chemical cross-linking on the dynamic mechanical properties of polyurethane reinforced with different concentrations of organically modified montmorillonite clay is investigated in this study. The polyurethane matrix is constit...
Composite materials have gained increased usage due to their unique characteristic of a high-stiffness-to-weight ratio. High-performing composite materials are produced in the autoclave by applying elevated pressure and temperature. However, the proc...
