Within the context of the increasing use of additive manufacturing techniques and the corresponding need to understand the behavior of 3D-printed materials, this paper analyzes the fracture behavior of additively manufactured carbon fiber reinforced...

Comprehensive analysis of the anisotropic nature of additively manufactured (AM) parts caused by their fabrication method requires attention, as current quasi-static experiments on AM specimens are used to determine strength and stiffness. This study...

This article explores the possibility of using metallurgical waste slags formed during the smelting of cast iron and steel as cementless binders that harden due to forced carbonization and the subsequent hydration processes of some minerals that form...

In the search for eco-friendly and resource-efficient alternatives to conventional building materials, agricultural residues are gaining increasing attention as reinforcements in cement-based composites. This study investigates the potential of walnu...

The growing demand for sustainable composites has increased interest in natural fiber reinforcements as alternatives to synthetic materials. This study evaluates the bending properties of sandwich structures with flax fibers and 3D-printed lightweigh...

The present work investigates the rheological behavior of ceramic slurries made of hydroxyapatite powders doped with magnesium and strontium ions and selected as particularly relevant for biomedical applications. The incorporation of doping ions into...

Polylactic acid (PLA) is widely used in 3D printing for its biodegradability and ease of processing, but its brittleness and low impact strength often restrict its suitability for more demanding applications. The novelty of this work lies in its dire...

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are effective for strengthening masonry walls. Debonding at the polymer–masonry interface is a major concern, requiring further investigation into interface behavior. This study utilizes detailed micro-modeling...

This study investigates the impact of graphite (GR) concentration and particle size on the performance of conductive polymer composites (CPCs) using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as matrix ma...

Underwater explosion (UNDEX) problems are typically simulated using numerical coupled techniques, such as the Coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian (CEL) method, to accurately capture fluid–structure interaction (FSI) effects, which are non-negligi...
