Numerical investigation of pre-flawed FGM tubes repaired with different composite jackets under sequential gaseous detonation loading

open access: yesResults in Engineering
Investigation on the structural response of pre-flawed functionally graded material (FGM) cylindrical tubes submitted to sequential detonation loading is the main contribution of this study. Analyses are made for repaired and unrepaired tubes using three

Vibration and Energy Dissipation of Nanocomposite Laminates for Below Ballistic Impact Loading

open access: yesLatin American Journal of Solids and Structures
Composite laminates are made of glass woven roving mats of 610gsm, epoxy resin and nano clay which are subjected to projectile impact. Nano clay dispersion is varied from 1% to 5%.

Size scaling of strength in thin film delamination

open access: yes, 2011
We investigate by numerical simulation the system size dependence of the shear delamination strength of thin elastic films. The films are connected to a rigid substrate by a disordered interface containing a pre-existing crack. The size dependence of the

On the Influence of Antioxidants and Recycled MgO–C Source Material on the Mechanical Properties of Carbon‐Bonded Magnesia Refractories

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The presented study focuses on the fracture behaviour of carbon‐bonded magnesia MgO–C refractories, where environmentally friendly fructose, collagen and lignin serve as temporary binding agents. The partial substitution of the source material with recycled MgO–C reduces the fracture resistance, which can be counteracted by the additional introduction ...

X-ray radiography instrument design for internal defect detection in lithium-ion battery modules for electric wheelchairs

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in transportation and energy-storage system; however, their increasing deployment raises concerns about thermal runaway caused by internal defects.

A variational model of fracture for tearing brittle thin sheets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Tearing of brittle thin elastic sheets, possibly adhered to a substrate, involves a rich interplay between nonlinear elasticity, geometry, adhesion, and fracture mechanics.

Impact of Sustainable Binders Based on Lignin and Collagen on the Volume Stability and Mechanical Properties of MgO‐C Refractories with MgO‐C Recyclates

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Collagen hydrolysate is evaluated as a sustainable binder for MgO‐C refractories. Its thermally induced cross‐linking and gas release lead to expansion and cracking in large bricks, but tailored batches with lignin, recyclates, or fine graphite improve the gas release while thermal treatment and stability.

Crystallization of hydrated and anhydrous salts in porous limestone resolved by synchrotron X-ray microtomography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
ACLInternational audienceThe crystallization processes of two anhydrous salts (NaCl and Na 2SO4) and one hydrated (sodium sulfate) salt in the pore space of a natural building stone, Savonnières limestone, are studied.

Additive Manufacturing of Continuous Fibre Reinforced Composites: Process, Characterisation, Modelling, and Sustainability

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing provides precise control over the placement of continuous fibres within polymer matrices, enabling customised mechanical performance in composite components. This article explores processing strategies, mechanical testing, and modelling approaches for additive manufactured continuous fibre‐reinforced composites.
