Short-time Oxidation of Fe-Mn Alloys

The global production of steel in a year is in the range of several millions of tonnes due to its essential function in industries such as automotive, manufacturing, and construction among others. However, a major challenge faced by the steel industry in the development of new steel grades is the inability to predict surface behaviour, such as...

Design Optimization of Variable-Stiffness Composite Panels under Thermomechanical Loads

Striving to improve structural efficiency the aerospace industry shows increasing interest in variable-stiffness composite laminates. Advanced fiber placement is a hybrid manufacturing technique that offers the flexibility of both filament winding and automated tape laying. With the development of this novel system curved tows can be placed and...
