In-plane shear behaviour of multiscale hybrid composites based on multiwall carbon nanotubes and long carbon fibres
(Sage, 2015-09-18)
Both in-plane shear modulus and in-plane shear strength of multiscale hybrid composites have been studied. Carbon fibre-based laminates have been fabricated including functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes by means of ...
Creating three-dimensional virtual patients by superimposing intraoral and facial digital scans guided with an aligner system: A dental technique
(Elsevier, 2022-10-31)
A technique for creating 3-dimensional virtual patients (3DVPs) by superimposing intraoral and facial digital scans guided with a novel aligner system is described. This aligner system supports design modifications to adapt ...
Influence of the modification with MWCNT on the interlaminar fracture properties of long carbon fiber composites
(Elsevier, 2011-11-12)
This paper reports the processing of a carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composite with carbon nanotube integration and examines the potential improvement on the interlaminar toughness. Carbon nanotube enhanced composites were ...
Thermal performance of sawdust and lime-mud concrete masonry units
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
Over the past three decades, growing interest in the properties of thermal envelopes and their enhancement has led to the development of new sustainable materials. Nevertheless, Concrete Masonry Units (CMUs) with negligible ...
Optimization of planar mechanisms by using a minimum distance function
(Elsevier, 2019-04-10)
The paper examines the application of a general minimum distance error function to the
dimensional kinematic synthesis of bidimensional mechanisms. The minimum distance ap-
proach makes it possible to solve the problem ...
On the development and evolution of wear flats in microcrystalline sintered alumina grinding wheels.
(Elsevier, 2018-03-26)
Wheel wear is a critical issue for grinding process optimization. This is why it receives so much attentionboth from Academia and industry. The development of new generations of abrasive wheels requiresimproving the ...
Overhang constraint for topology optimization of self-supported compliant mechanisms considering additive manufacturing
(Elsevier, 2019-04)
This work presents a computational procedure for direct integration of Topology Optimization and Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies for compliant mechanisms design. Many topologically optimized geometries present ...
The prediction of bending strengths in SFRSCC using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
(Elsevier, 2014)
This research establishes a correlation between the predicted fiber orientation in Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) and the flexural behavior of the composite material. It is well known that the proper alignment of ...
The dual integrated force method applied to unidirectional composites
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014-04-07)
This paper shows the use of the dual integrated force method (IFMD) in finite elements method and its application to composite materials. This method was developed by S.N. Patnaik in isotropic materials, considering not ...
Textile-reinforced mortar as strengthening material for masonry arches
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-09-03)
[EN] Masonry arches are an important part of built heritage that must be preserved. Research and advanced studies of historical masonry structures have progressed slowly in comparison to studies on structures made of other ...
