Sensing, Measuring and Modelling the Mechanical Properties of Sandstone
(
Springer-Verlag Wien
, 2018 , Article)
We present a hybrid framework for simulating the strength and dilation characteristics of sandstone. Where possible, the grain-scale properties of sandstone are evaluated experimentally in detail. Also, using photo-stress ...
Comparison of the effect of carbon, halloysite and titania nanotubes on the mechanical and thermal properties of LDPE based nanocomposite films
(
Chemical Industry Press
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, titania nanotubes (TNTs) were prepared by hydrothermal method with the aim to compare the properties of these one-dimensional tubular nanostructures' reinforced nanocomposites with the carbon and halloysite ...
Mechanical, sorption and adhesive properties of composites based on low density polyethylene filled with date palm wood powder
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) was blended with date palm wood powder (DPW) to prepare composites with concentrations of filler ranging from 10 to 70. wt.%. The Youn?s modulus of the composites significantly increased ...
Nematic opto-mechanical actuators for the fabrication of refreshable tactile systems
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Nematic elastomers are promising materials for the fabrication of actuators due to their ability to reversibly contract and expand during phase transitions triggered by external stimuli. We present a refreshable tactile ...
Properties of microwave sintered al-cu metal matrix composites
(
Association for Iron and Steel Technology, AISTECH
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The present work focuses on the effect of copper (Cu) reinforcement on structural and mechanical properties of Al-Cu composites synthesized through microwave sintering approach. The pure aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) powders ...
Structural and mechanical properties of microwave sintered Al-Ni50Ti50 composites
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have become attractive for structural engineering applications due to their excellent specific strength and are becoming an alternative to the conventional materials particularly in the ...
A review on composite materials based on recycled thermoplastics and glass fibres
(2011 , Article Review)
Mechanical properties The purpose of this paper is to review recent work on composite materials based on recycled thermoplastics and glass fibres (GFs). The high collection and separation cost of plastics waste, and the ...
The Mechanical and Thermal Response of Shape Memory Alloy-Reinforced Aluminum Nanocomposites
(
Springer
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The concept of developing intelligent materials that has the innate capability of healing its damage has engineered considerable scientific and even technological interest due on account of its potential for selection and ...
Unconventional experimental technologies used for phase change materials (PCM) characterization: Part 2 - Morphological and structural characterization, physico-chemical stability and mechanical properties
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Due to the high interest of appropriate characterization of PCM and hybrid PCM composites, different research centres and universities are using several material characterization techniques not commonly used with PCM, to ...
Enhancing compressive, tensile, thermal and damping response of pure Al using BN nanoparticles
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In the present study, aluminum based metal matrix composites containing various amounts of boron nitride (BN) nanoparticulates (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol.%) were fabricated by using the powder metallurgy (PM) technique ...
