Mechanical and thermal expansion properties of aligned carbon nanotube reinforced epoxy composites

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2019
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

open access: yesMetals, 2020
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

Validation of orthopaedic surgeons’ assessment of cognitive function in patients with acute hip fracture

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background About one fourth of patients with hip fracture have cognitive impairment. These patients are at higher risk of surgical and medical complications and are often excluded from participating in clinical research.

A novel n-type semiconducting biomaterial

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
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

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2021
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

open access: yesEngineering Transactions, 2014
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

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2020
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

Stress Intensity Factor Solutions for Eccentric Annular External Cracks in Notched Round Bars under Tensile Loading

open access: yesMetals, 2023
In this paper, stress intensity factor (SIF) solutions of eccentric annular external cracks in elliptical notched round bars under tension loading have been obtained from 3D finite element analysis, along with their relation to the energy release rate ...

Influence of Loading Rate on the Hydrogen-Assisted Micro-Damage in Bluntly Notched Samples of Pearlitic Steel

open access: yesMetals, 2016
The influence of loading rate (crosshead speed) on the fracture process of bluntly notched samples of pearlitic steel under hydrogen environment is analyzed in this paper.
