Evaluating Energy Absorption Performance of Filled Lattice Structures
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Maximum stress must be considered to robustly evaluate energy absorber designs. This approach was applied to compare all types of absorbers in a single Ashby diagram and determine the utility of filling lattice voids with a second material. High‐performance fillers can improve the performance of lattices that are limited by buckling or catastrophic ...

Feasibility of recycling CDW as raw material in gypsum composites [PDF]
, 2015 On average, Europe generates around 890 million tonnes of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) per year and only 50% of this CDW is recycled. This is far from the objectives determined in the European Directive for 2020 and aware of this situation ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Using the Finite Element Method to Determine the Temperature Distributions in Hot-wire Cutting. [PDF]
, 2011 Hot-wire cutting is a common material removal process used to shape and sculpt plastic foam materials, such as expanded polystyrene (EPS). Due to the low cost and sculpt-ability of plastic foams they are popular materials for large sized (> 1 m³ ...
