A novel cost-effective alternative in the form of nano/micro carbonized particles produced from waste bagasse fibers has been explored to modify the mechanical properties and fracture pattern of the resulting cementitious composites.…
This study examines the fracture toughness of Al6061 alloy-based hybrid composites reinforced with silicon carbide particles and cenosphere microspheres. Aluminum alloy Al6061 is widely utilized in structural applications due to its…
During the last years many researchers put so much effort to design layered structures combining different materials in order to improve low fracture toughness and mechanical reliability of the ceramics. It has been proven, that an…
This study investigates the effects of low concentration (0.1-0.4 wt.%) nano-boron carbide (B4C) reinforcement on the mechanical, thermal and fracture properties of epoxy nanocomposites. The nanocomposites were prepared via solution…
The composite materials are normally made of reinforcements and resins. High-performance composites are generally termed hybrid composite materials. Generally, fiber-reinforced composite laminates are very weak in their out-of-plane…
This paper examines the influence of controlled heat treatments on the mechanical behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5 Titanium alloy) to improve its performance in structural and high performance applications. Ti-6Al-4V is widely used in…
Durability and sustainability of structures made from concrete like materials is getting more into an interest of civil engineers. Structures are subjected not only to uniaxial load, this means if there is a crack inside the load could be…
Strain-based design for offshore pipeline requires a considerable experimental work aimed to determine the material fracture toughness and the effective strain capacity of pipe and welds. Continuum damage mechanics can be used to limit the…
This work aims to study the influence of protective coatings on the water absorption and mechanical properties of 3D printed poly–lactic acid (PLA) parts. The PLA parts were fabricated with different levels of the 3D printing process…
