Flexural response of concurrently 3D printed sandwich composite [PDF]
Among many lightweight materials used in marine applications, sandwich structures with syntactic foam core are promising because of lower water uptake in foam core amid face-sheets damage. HDPE (high-density polyethylene) filament is used to 3D print sandwich skin, and glass microballoon (GMB) reinforced HDPE syntactic foam filaments are used for the ...

Development of Braiding-Pultrusion Method and Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Composite Rods Produced by this Method [PDF]
In this research, a braiding-pultrusion production line is developed by modifying a conventional textile maypole braiding machine and adding it to a pultrusion line for production of braid-pultruded (BP) composite rods.

Size-independent Young's modulus of inverted conical GaAs nanowire resonators [PDF]
We explore mechanical properties of top down fabricated, singly clamped inverted conical GaAs nanowires. Combining nanowire lengths of 2-9 $\mu$m with foot diameters of 36-935 nm yields fundamental flexural eigenmodes spanning two orders of magnitude from 200 kHz to 42 MHz. We extract a size-independent value of Young's modulus of (45$\pm$3) GPa.

Thin elastic shells with variable thickness for lithospheric flexure of one-plate planets [PDF]
Planetary topography can either be modeled as a load supported by the lithosphere, or as a dynamical effect due to lithospheric flexure caused by mantle convection. In both cases the response of the lithosphere to external forces can be calculated with the theory of thin elastic plates or shells.

Finite elements modelling of scattering problems for flexural waves in thin plates: Application to elliptic invisibility cloaks, rotators and the mirage effect [PDF]
We propose a finite elements algorithm to solve a fourth order partial differential equation governing the propagation of time-harmonic bending waves in thin elastic plates. Specially designed perfectly matched layers are implemented to deal with the infinite extent of the plates. These are deduced from a geometric transform in the biharmonic equation.

Flexural free vibration as a non-destructive test for evaluation of viscoelastic properties of polymeric composites in bending direction [PDF]
In many applications, viscoelastic properties of reinforced composites need to be determined prior to their real service life. Such properties can be assured by destructive and non-destructive tests. In this paper, a novel non-destructive test (NDT) method based on flexural free vibration is introduced to investigate the viscoelastic properties of ...

Kinetic and chemorheological modeling of thermosetting polyurethanes obtained from an epoxidized soybean oil polyol crosslinked with glycerin [PDF]
Thermosetting polyurethanes were obtained using an aromatic isocyanate and a hydrophobic polyol formulation obtained from epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) crosslinked with glycerin. A systematic DSC analysis of the effect of catalyst type, crosslinker concentration, isocyanate index and ESO crystallization on the cure kinetics was conducted.
