Determining the Tensile Properties and Dispersion Characterization of CNTs in Epoxy Using Tem and Raman Spectroscopy
In this work, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy were used to assess the dispersion quality of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in an epoxy matrix. Its ultimate tensile strength (UTS), engine...

Statistical Analysis of 3-Point Bending Properties of Polymer Concretes Made From Marble Powder Waste, Sand Grains, and Polyester Resin
The mechanical performance of concrete polymer beams subjected to 3-point bending was investigated. The polymer concrete incorporates marble powder waste and quarry sand. The results obtained showed that the t...

Open AccessSignificantly enhanced creep resistance of low volume fraction in-situ TiBw/Ti6Al4V composites by architectured network reinforcements
We present a new class of TiBw/Ti6Al4V composites with a network reinforcement architecture that exhibits a significant creep resistance compared to monolithic Ti6Al4V alloys. Creep tests performed at temperat...

Vibration of ZnO nanotubes: a molecular mechanics approach
We investigate the vibrational properties of two kinds of single-wall ZnO nanotubes. The simulations are carried out for three types of zigzag nanotubes (5,0), (8,0), (10,0) and armchair nanotubes (3,3), (4,4)...

Physical and thermal effects on the shape memory behaviour of auxetic open cell foams
This study examines the processing envelope related to auxetic open cell foams and their shape memory properties, with the analysis of four different phases of multi-component foams (conventional, 1st auxetic,...

A new procedure to measure water adsorption isotherms of porous fibrous materials
A typical relation between accumulated liquid, temperature, and vapour pressure characterizes any surface, in particular any porous structure. This relationship is usually described by means of “adsorption iso...

Stacking layer sequence effects for glass fibre/epoxy resin cross-ply laminates
We describe the effect of the stacking sequence on the distribution of the deformation and stress fields through the thickness of the laminate. The laminates are made of epoxy resin and glass fibres, having th...

The Role of Adsorption and Phase Change Phenomena in the Thermophysical Characterization of Moist Porous Materials
Phase change phenomena in moist porous media with low liquid content, the typical condition of a porous body at ambient conditions and far from the contact of liquid water, are controlled by the shape of the a...

Sandwich Structures with Negative Poisson’s Ratio for Deployable Structures
In the last decade several attempts were made to conceptualise from the microstructure point of view the behaviour of negative Poisson’s ratio materials. Such kind of material expands in all directions when pu...
