In Situ Curing‐Enabled 3D Printing of Continuous Fiber‐Reinforced Thermosetting Composites

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
In situ curing‐enabled the 3D printing of continuous fiber/thermoset composites, which were reviewed. Particularly, four types of in situ curing, were discussed, including Radiation‐induced curing, photothermal curing, electrothermal curing, and frontal polymerization. AI‐integrated printing was also analyzed.

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

AI‐Revealed Transition From Density‐ to Connectivity‐Controlled Mechanics in Hierarchical Porous Materials

Small, EarlyView.
Using synchrotron‐based multiscale imaging, generative modeling algorithms, and computational mechanics models, our study reveals a scale‐dependent transition in bone mechanics. The results of the power‐scaling law illustrate a transition from density‐controlled stiffness at the trabecular scale to connectivity‐controlled, porosity‐sensitive mechanics ...

Development of novel flax bio-matrix composites for non-structural and structural vehicle applications [PDF]

, 2015
The use of natural fibres (e.g. flax, hemp etc.) instead of synthetic fibres (carbon and glass etc.) as composite reinforcements not only benefits the environment, but also provides economical lightweight products for transports.

Evaluations of the effectiveness of the near‐surface mounted steel materials in strengthening short RC wall‐like columns with openings

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...
