Mechanical and thermal expansion properties of aligned carbon nanotube reinforced epoxy composites
Aligned MWCNT/epoxy composites made with the three types of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with different thermal annealing temperature have been prepared, and the tensile tests and thermal expansion tests of the composites in the MWCNT ...

Analysis of the Bauschinger Effect in Cold Drawn Pearlitic Steels
Prestressing steel wires usually undergo cyclic loading in service. Therefore, it is of interest to analyse certain features of their mechanical behaviour under this type of loading, such as the Bauschinger effect (BE) or the hardening rule, that fit the

A novel n-type semiconducting biomaterial
There has been no research conducted thus far on the semiconducting behaviour of biomaterials. In this study, we present an n-type semiconducting biomaterial composed of amorphous kenaf cellulose fibre (AKCF) paper with a voltage-controlled N-type ...

Development of Highly Sensitive Strain Sensor Using Area-Arrayed Graphene Nanoribbons
In this study, a basic design of area-arrayed graphene nanoribbon (GNR) strain sensors was proposed to realize the next generation of strain sensors. To fabricate the area-arrayed GNRs, a top-down approach was employed, in which GNRs were cut out from a ...

Reverse Ballistic Impact Studies of Thin Plate Perforation
Full-scale ballistic experiments using tungsten rods and rolled homogeneous armour (RHA) steel plates are expensive to perform. For this reason, a study has been performed into the possibility of using less expensive, more easily available metals in ...

Impact and indenting damage of CVD-produced ZnS and ZnSe ceramics
Time series of acoustic emission pulses were excited in ductile ZnS and ZnSe ceramics either by a falling weight or by indenting the Vickers pyramid. Energy distributions in emitted acoustical emission pulses were found to be random (Poisson-like) in the
