The abundance of waste plastic is a major issue for the sustainability of the environment as plastic pollutes rivers, land, and oceans. However, the versatile behavior of plastic (it is lightweight, flexible, strong, moisture-resistant, and cheap) can make it a replacement for or alternative to many existing composite materials like concrete....

Engineering property comparisons have been made for plate material of the newly developed aluminium alloy 2324-T39 and the widely used alloy 2024-T351. The properties considered were: tensile strength, fracture toughness, notched fatigue strength, and the resistance to fatigue crack propagation under both constant amplitude and flight simulation...

Discussions between D-BAA and the NLR have shown that significant variability in fatigue crack growth properties is possible for the industry standard damage tolerant aluminium alloy, 2024-T3 sheet. This is important for two reasons: (1) design assumptions and (2) comparisons of different candidate materials, such as 6013-T6, with 2024-T3....

Narula, Prithul Rajiv (author)
In this report, the possibility of replacing high performance thermoplastic polymers with alternative low-cost ones is investigated. Since thermoplastics offer fast processing times and the opportunity to use efficient production processes which are not suitable for thermosets, they are an attractive material<br/>system for the aerospace...

Van der Linden, D. (author)
An increasing environmental concern and a growing interest of environmentally friendly and renewable materials is driving the growth of the bio-based composite sector. From 2010 to 2020, it is expected that the use of natural fibres as a reinforcement in composites will be doubled. Bio-based composites are already widely applied within the...

3D printing using material extrusion is increasingly considered as a means to produce not just prototypes, but also final parts. This has accelerated research of the strength of printed parts. With 1461 printed tensile bars tested, this study adds a systematic investigation to the existing body of knowledge, assessing the influence of layer...

The emerging field of 3D printing has expanded to the fabrication of metallic components during the last decade. Among the most prominent applications is the production of aluminium bronze marine propellers by the Wire+Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) method. This method incorporates a welding system attached to a robotic arm. The final product...

Merhi, Nader (author)
As a result of the growing awareness of the global environmental factors, principals of sustainability, and industrial ecology, the green chemistry and engineering are put to use into the development of the next generation of materials of construction. The need of materials independent from petroleum resources is considered a priority on the...

Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMwPE) fibers are well known for their very high specific mechanical properties such as tensile strength and Young’s modulus. The solution spinning/solid state drawing process invented in the late 70s at DSM enables the production of these UHMwPE fibers with outstanding mechanical properties. The...

We fabricate freely suspended nanosheets of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) which are characterized by quantitative optical microscopy and high-resolution friction force microscopy. We study the elastic deformation of freely suspended nanosheets of MoS2 using an atomic force microscope. The Young’s modulus and the initial pretension of the...

One of high efficient ways to reuse the recycled construction and demolition waste (CDW) is to consider it as a road base material. The recycled CDW however is mainly a mix of recycled masonry and concrete with a wide variation in composition. This results that the mechanical properties of cement treated demolition waste are not only determined...

Hybrid fiber reinforcement can be very efficient for improving the tensile response of the composite. In such materials, fibers of different geometries can act as bridging mechanisms over cracks of different widths. The fiber bridging efficiency depends on the interface properties, which makes interface characterization very important. Therefore...

The paper systematically describes the evolution of the microstructure of a styrene acrylate polymer cement concrete in relation to its mechanical properties and durability. The results presented and discussed at the present paper involve the interaction of the polymer dispersion with portland cement; the effect of the polymer modification on...

In this study, first-principles calculations were utilized to investigate the lattice constants, elastic constants, and mechanical properties of gold–copper (Au–Cu) intermetallic compounds (IMCs), including AuCu3, AuCu, and Au3Cu. We also verified the direction dependence of the Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson’s ratio of the...

Graphene oxide (GO) has recently been highlighted as a promising multipurpose two-dimensional material. However, free-standing graphene oxide films suffer from poor strength and flexibility, which limits scaling-up of production and lifetime structural robustness in applications. Inspired by the relationship between the organic and inorganic...

This work concerns the fatigue behavior at three different temperature conditions (−40, 20, and 80°C) and the addition of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) into a carbon-fiber reinforced poly(ether-imide) composite. The incorporation of MWCNT into the composite increased the tensile strength and Young's modulus by up 5 and 2%, respectively....

In this study, the self-healing capacity of Titanium Aluminum Carbide (Ti<sub>2</sub>AlC, MAX phase) was investigated. Bulk coin samples were fabricated to evaluate the self-healing capacity at different temperatures (1000, 1200, and 1400°C). The extensive self-healing capacity of Ti<sub>2</sub>AlC was confirmed on larger quasiplastic damage ...

Extended defects, including exposed surfaces and grain boundaries (GBs), are critical to the properties of polycrystalline solid electrolytes in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). These defects can alter the mechanical and electronic properties of solid electrolytes, with direct manifestations in the performance of ASSBs. Here, by building a...

Several studies have shown the potential of strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) as a self-reinforcing printable mortar. However, papers published on the development of three-dimensional printable SHCC (3DP-SHCC) often report a discrepancy between the mechanical properties of the cast and printed specimens. This paper evaluates the...
