The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of flax fibre reinforcement on the general mechanical properties of the composite both in static and dynamic conditions.
The rat is a widely accepted non-clinical animal model for toxicity studies and has been used to study the biocompatibility of composites both when implanted subcutaneously as in our study, and when implanted in the area of clinical interest.
Formula 1 racing represents the most advanced exploitation of composite materials both in terms of the percentage usage and complexity of application [Savage GM, J STA 2000;140:18].
Here we report the transverse impact behavior of a new kind of 3-D multi-structured knitted composite both in experimental and finite element simulation.
The incorporation of natural fibres such as sisal/jute with glass fiber composites has gained increasing applications both in many areas of Engineering and Technology.
By means of its special structure and Poisson's effect, the composite transducer can produce vibrations both in its longitudinal and radial directions, and therefore, it can radiate sound waves in three-dimensional space.
The coated carbon fibers were applied as reinforcement fibers in ceramic composites, both as unidirectional reinforcement or chopped.
The aim of this study is to minimize the thickness (or weight) of laminated composite plates subject to both in-plane and out-of-plane loading.
The behaviour of joints exerts an important influence in the overall performance of steel and composite structures, both in deformations and in ultimate resistance.
The novel PS algorithm combined with the modified repair strategy outperforms the studied GA methods for constrained stacking sequence optimization of composite laminate both in computational performance and finding the optimal objective value with high reliability.
