Quasi-static and low-velocity impact behavior of intraply hybrid flax/basalt composites [PDF]
In an attempt to increase the low-velocity impact response of natural fiber composites, a new hybrid intraply woven fabric based on flax and basalt fibers has been used to manufacture laminates with both thermoplastic and thermoset matrices.

Blocking a wave: Frequency band gaps in ice shelves with periodic crevasses [PDF]
We assess how the propagation of high-frequency elastic-flexural waves through an ice shelf is modified by the presence of spatially periodic crevasses.

Flexural Behavior of Bidirectionally Graded Lattice
This study aims to investigate the flexural behavior of newly designed bidirectionally graded lattice beams with body‐centered cubic unit cells made of stainless steel 316 L. Uniform and unidirectionally graded lattice beams are also studied for comparison.

On the Significance of Microtubule Flexural Behavior in Cytoskeletal Mechanics
Quantitative description of cell mechanics has challenged biological scientists for the past two decades. Various structural models have been attempted to analyze the structure of the cytoskeleton. One important aspect that has been largely ignored in all these modeling approaches is related to the flexural and buckling behavior of microtubular ...

Performance enhancement of nylon/Kevlar fiber composites through viscoelastically generated pre-stress [PDF]
Kevlar-29 fibers have high strength and stiffness but nylon 6,6 fibers have greater ductility. Thus by commingling these fibers prior to molding in a resin, the resulting hybrid composite may be mechanically superior to the corresponding single fiber ...

Flexural Behavior of Ferrocement Composite Slab
Abstract: This project presents a Flexural behaviour of composite ferrocement slabs to investigate the effect of impact and ultimate flexural load on ferrocement slabs of size 600mmx400mmx15mm (thickness) reinforced with PVC coated steel weld mesh, and compare the results with slabs made of GI-coated steel weld mesh. PVC-coated weld mesh is used as non-

Mechanical behavior of irregular fibers part III : the flexural buckling behavior
Fiber buckling behavior is associated with fabric-evoked prickle, which affects clothing comfort and aesthetics. In this paper, the flexural buckling behavior of irregular or nonuniform fibers is studied using the finite element method (FEM).
